Hey America, greetings from Germany. What speaker Mike Johnson, Trump and at least two judges on the SCOTUS do is - insurrection.
18 U.S.C. 2383 “Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the U. S. or the laws thereof, or gives aid or .., ..”
Go fix it - NOW!!!!!
Otherwise January 6th will look like a walk in the park in comparison to what will happen in November after the election.
We are fighting because this country deserves a leader who respects our democracy, not disloyal Republicans willing to harm our citizens, divide our country and tear it to pieces for a bit of power.
We found the nazis, they attacked the Capitol on #January6th. It will take our collective effort to save our nation from the enemy within.
On Thursday, the #scotus will be hearing arguments where lawyers for the criminal defendant are arguing that all former presidents are forever immune from criminal prosecution for any official acts done in office.
Failure to respect the election of a new President, is the ultimate crime against the people, who are the basis of government. The President, by constitutional design, should have no role- official or unofficial-in the determination of the people's
vote. Immunity for the crimes here alleged would be most abhorrent to the Framers, because immunity would upset the constitutional scheme and aid a President in overriding the people's power over him.
The Framers would also have been appalled that Trump, despite having left office, seeks permanent immunity. As a Federalist wrote for the Maryland ratifying convention:
It seems, however, that the president may possibly be continued for life. He may so, provided he deserve it.
In the crimal defendant's appeal to #scotus on his #January6th criminal fraud to block the certification of our election case, aka immunity delay case, vile fascist Samuel Alito and accused sexual abuser Brett Kavanaugh declined to acknowledge certain facts of the case during the oral arguments. Their stance has drawn attention and raised questions about the case's proceedings.
Corrupt Clarence implies presidents are always committing crimes- a blatent lie, giving cover to the biggest criminal in American history.
Their overtly unethical conduct laid bare in front of Americans, and it was disgraceful. It calls into question their certification and qualifications to work in the legal profession, in any capacity.
Republican partisans are and were during the hearing, a total disgrace to the American legal system.
Former D.C. Police Officer Michael Fanone: "Three years ago, I witnessed first-hand the MAGA-fueled assault on the heart of our democracy, a violent attack that was shameful, deplorable and completely un-American. The indifference and lies I've witnessed since 2021 are a national disgrace."
"We must come together as Americans over the next year and ensure the next presidential election is peacefully certified on #January6th, 2025. We cannot wait. We cannot fail." #Jan6
