Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) doesn't think the GOP House members openly trying to overturn the
election should get to keep their titles.
On Friday, another 20 House
Republicans joined the 106 who had already signed onto Texas' lawsuit attempting to overthrow key states' election results. To Pascrell, those members are in violation of the Constitution's 14th Amendment, and thus cannot remain in the House. "Men and
Women who would act to tear the
United States government apart cannot serve as members of
Congress," Pascrell wrote in a letter asking House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Administration Committee Chair Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) not to seat them.
Shortly after, Pelosi released a harsh statement of her own calling out the House Republicans. In a letter to
Democratic House members, Pelosi called the suit "an act of flailing which violates the principles enshrined in our
American democracy." "Republicans are subverting the Constitution by their reckless and fruitless assault on our democracy which threatens to seriously erode public trust in our most sacred democratic institutions," Pelosi forcefully finished, though she didn't promise any action against those congressmembers.
