'See you in court': Tennessee bill sparks legal concerns over constitutionality

[@mfntonberry]

Don't worry about the slippery slope now that you're at the bottom of the hill. The emotional manipulation has lost all its power.

[@theresamckay6194]

I thought it was against the law to tell people how to vote… We are in serious trouble people

[@Andrew-r8i]

Making it illegal to vote a certain way, regardless of the issue, does not appear to align with the principles of a constitutional democracy or republic.

[@GattacaKain]

Local governments are prohibited by law from interfering with federal law enforcement. Thus, to vote to be a sanctuary city is to vote to violate the law. I fully support imprisoning politicians who vote to exempt themselves from this law. We are not exempt; they shall not be either.

Not such thing as Constitutional Democracy, America is a Constitutional Republic. Appears, you need to study the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, American Civics & U.S. History.

Maybe instead of paying people who are looking to destroy our country, spend the money and let American citizens vote

[@chriswilliamson806]

It's unconstitutional to have sanctuary cities...

Lean right and I don't agree with this bill. You can't punish people for bringing a bill to the floor no matter what it is. It's like hey he asked a question, put him in jail. Ridiculous.

[@logangoodwin8941]

If you stay silent when Democrats misuse the law, then you should also be silent when Republicans do the same. That being said, no one should go to prison or become a felon simply for voting for something. I can say this because I call out wrongdoing on both sides-unlike partisan media and politicians.

Thank you brother am a Lefty 😢 I wouldn't want you brother to be in jail because you voted for trump is just wrong 😮

Charging as a felony is a way to remove members of the house and senate. This is the first test case in the US before they start rounding up federal Senators and Representatives. United States Constitution (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1). "The Senators and Representatives shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."
