Actions and behaviors can have consequences — sometimes dramatically so.
Just ask the Democratic caucus members in Tennessee.
Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton dropped a bombshell on them Tuesday, announcing that the Democrats faced imminent expulsion from all committees and subcommittees.
Sean Davis, CEO of The Federalist, shared a copy of the letter online:

In a letter to House Democratic Leader Karen Camper, Sexton didn’t mince words about the Democrats’ behavior during last week’s contentious redistricting talks.
“Due to actions taken by members of the Democratic Caucus during the Second Extraordinary Session of the 114th General Assembly aimed at disrupting the democratic and legislative process and creating disorder on the House Floor … Members of the Democratic Caucus will receive individual level letters removing them from all standing committees and subcommittees of the House, except where membership is required pursuant to Rule 65 of the House Rules.”
Sexton listed off a number of behavioral issues with his Democratic counterparts.
“Interlocking arms in the well of the House,” “Blocking aisles on the House Floor,” and “Instigating and encouraging disruptions of the legislative process in coordination with paid protesters,” were all reasons given by Sexton for his drastic move.
