Expel Her. Now.

Her opinions are her business, although I agree that were I to make threats against the people I work with, I woulnd't reasonably expect to work there any longer. If the House rejects her as unfit to be of that body, that is the business of the House. I stand on the Constitution about that.

But this tweet makes clear Greene does not deserve to be a representative in a democratic republic, no matter how many votes she won.  In this government, the majority rules.  I would extend that to the Senate filibuster:  it should be abolished because the majority should rule.  We don't quite have the parliamentary government of most of the democracies of the world (more fool us, but that ship sailed 200 years ago).  The balance against a majority in the House and Senate of one party is a President of the other party.  That's it.  Otherwise, it should be majority rule.

To call that "tyrannical" is to remove yourself from fitness to hold office in such a government.  We already went through 4 years of a President similiarly unfit for office.  We don't need an echo of that from even one Representative in the House.
