The Arizona House Ethics Committee has found Democratic Representatives Analise Ortiz and Oscar De Los Santos guilty of violating House rules during a protest on April 10. The protest was related to the GOP-thwarted repeal of the 1864 abortion law, and the committee concluded that both lawmakers engaged in disorderly behavior, including chanting and yelling on the House floor. The violations have been referred to the full House for potential punishment, although it is unclear what specific disciplinary actions may be taken. The Republican-led committee determined that Ortiz broke decorum rules, while De Los Santos violated rules on decorum, disorderly behavior, and impermissible debate. Despite the findings, there is no indication that Republicans have enough votes to expel the lawmakers, though they could still be censured.

The House Ethics Committee has found that @os_delossantos and @RepAnaliseOrtiz engaged in disorderly behavior with chanting and yelling on the floor over the abortion ban repeal. No chance Republicans have enough votes to expel them, but could still vote to censure.

Lefties want to exclude justices they deem unsympathetic to their arguments. Not just generally, but in two specific cases currently pending before the Supreme Court. This is why they’ve been obsessing over flags. Shameless. Baseless. Wildly inappropriate. https://t.co/YmAaGPoLJX
