On Jan. 13, the Delaware Senate and House of Representatives both unanimously passed a resolution that seeks to advance civility and strengthen discourse among their members. Do you think a formal policy like this is needed? Do you believe it will help legislators maintain respect?
Law is a poor substitute for true civility, ethics, genuine kindness, respect and personal responsibility. — Tim Pancoast
When you have a majority, like here in Delaware, you won’t get the civility. You end up with mob rule. The fact is, in these cases, these politicians ignore their constituents and line their own pockets. — Rick Kerchevall
As long as the leaders at a national level are not calling for respect and civility, we can’t expect those following them to demonstrate those attributes. Civility cannot be legislated; it goes back to how a person is raised. — Ellen Hart Richardson
You cannot, nor should you have to, legislate civility. — Pete Vigneri
It’s like telling a victim not to complain about a bully! — David Henderson
For four years under Donald Trump, Democrats pushed for violence and unrest. Now, the Democratic Party has been radicalized by outside sources. — Jeff Grzeszczak
Just yesterday, I heard a politician (a Democrat) on TV, denigrating law enforcement. It all revolves around Democrats hating Trump. That is the source. — Bob Hice
