Could expulsion hearings be next for embattled Michigan state reps?

[RandySF]

LANSING, Mich. — It’s a rare occurrence that’s happened just twice before in the history of the Michigan legislature, but some Lansing insiders seem poised to think an expulsion hearing could very well be the next step for embattled conservative state representatives Todd Courser, R-Lapeer, and Cindy Gamrat, R-Plainwell.

Since news broke Friday of the two lawmakers’ alleged extramarital affair and the outrageous attempt to try to cover it up, Courser has stated publicly he refuses to step down despite several calls for both he and Gamrat to resign their positions in the state House.

Gamrat has yet to speak publicly about the situation.

The freshman lawmakers and tea party conservative favorites are also being investigated by the House Business Office to determine whether they used taxpayer money and resources in their effort to cover up the alleged affair.

3. Glad my tax dollars have to pay these idiot's bills

And my tax dollars have to pay for the investigation as well. Thanks a lot tea bagging Bible banging hypocrites! That's being fiscally conservative isn't it! This asshole introduced a bill stopping all marriages from being performed except by members of clergy. It was his last ditch effort to stop all those "sinner" homosexuals from getting married. That would have prevented my wife and I from getting married, as we refused to be married in any religious ceremony. Our marriage is rock solid, no religion needed. But they are supporters of "traditional" marriage. These people are married with seven kids between them. What a terrible thing to do to these kids. This Christian conservative hypocrisy occurs so often now people are almost immune to it. For a good laugh though, read the comments on his Facebook page. He got all biblical in his 1,900 word statement, so people are having a field day with it. Many are bringing up Leviticus 20:10. Time to follow your holy book down asshole!
