   House Democrats are vowing to defend Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in   
   the face of GOP efforts to formally reprimand her on the House floor   
   over her criticism of Israel.   
      
   Republican leaders have scheduled separate votes Tuesday on two   
   resolutions to censure Tlaib, saying her sharp denunciations of   
   Israel’s response to last month’s deadly Hamas attacks are   
   antisemitic and risk inciting violence against Israelis.   
      
   Democratic leaders are urging members to vote against the measure,   
   however, citing Tlaib’s First Amendment rights. And a long list of   
   other Democrats — including a number of prominent Jewish lawmakers —   
   are lining up to oppose both measures, warning of the dangerous   
   precedent that would be set if Congress were to pursue censure every   
   time a fellow lawmaker utters controversial remarks.   
      
   “To my mind this is easy,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said. “I’m a   
   professor of constitutional law. This is all about the freedom of   
   speech and the speech and debate clause.”   
      
   Rep. Greg Meeks (D-N.Y.), senior Democrat on the House Foreign   
   Affairs Committee, delivered the same message.   
      
   “Freedom of speech is a part of our democracy,” Meeks said. “Not   
   that I have to agree with the speech, but the freedom to say what   
   you want is fundamental to America, it makes us different from   
   others.   
      
   “People should have the freedom to say what they want; and I’ll have   
   the freedom to say whether I agree or disagree,” he continued. “But   
   I don’t think anybody should be censured for what they say.”   
      
   Still, several Jewish Democrats — including Reps. Debbie Wasserman   
   Schultz (Fla.) and Brad Schneider (Ill.) — said they are still   
   weighing their votes.
