Mike Lee shouldn't just be expelled from Congress, he should be expelled from public life, just completely shunned by everyone he encounters like in that episode of The Twilight Zone.
He is unfit to hold public office and his party should take action. The party won't, but it should.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear U.S. residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

When I traveled around Europe in college, the train that I was on was stopped just outside Hungary, and official people walked through the train and banged under the cars with a metal rod.
And I thought: we’re going behind the iron curtain.
Thank God this can’t happen in my country.
I was wrong.

“They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.”
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

If Oct. 7 had never happened, Trump would right now be pulling funding from Columbia and Harvard because of DEI policies or admissions requirements or what research they were doing or all of the above. The right hates universities and that’s it.
