Montana trans lawmaker Zooey Zephyr sues state over censure [View all]
..."The recent actions violate my 1st amendment rights, as well as the rights of my 11,000 constituents to representation," Zephyr said in a tweet Monday. "Montana's State House is the people's House, not Speaker Regier's, and I'm determined to defend the right of the people to have their voices heard."
Zephyr is petitioning for her legislative privileges and duties to be reinstated.
...Some legislators, including Regier, argued she had broken House rules of decorum when she said legislators would have "blood on your hands" if they passed the transgender youth care ban.

I don't understand how saying "blood on your hands" is breaking rule of decorum. Did she threaten to put the blood on their hands or something?
