When their girl loses for being a totally inept mentally challenged drunk mongoloid, it's ok to prevent the winner of the election from assuming office.

Threat to democracy, eh?
Agreed. Seeing that the authors are advocating for overturning an election in favor of a power grab on the flimsiest grounds imaginable, I would argue that they themselves are "inciting insurrection against the Constitution".ts5641 said:

Quote:
An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

The Hill is inciting an insurrection? Who would have thunk?
Yet, John Eastman made a logical argument regarding alternate slates of electors to comply with the Safe Harbor provisions in 2020 and has been disbarred over that. Eastman's proposition certainly had more historical and legit legal analysis than The Hill's bag of crap arguments.Quote:
This wouldn't pass muster in a pre-law class let alone a moot court. What an embarrassing argument to attach your name to having graduated from any law school let alone some prestigious ones. It's as shallow and intellectually as lazy an argument as you will ever see. I'd expect better from a 1st semester 1L.
So they want an insurrection to what prosecute an insurrection? Yeah that's good for our democracy. The people have spoken, the insurrectionist should shut up.aggiehawg said:
14th amendment crap again. So stupid.
But here is a scenario that I fear is more probable and it involves Mike Johnson. he did himself no favors with that budget debacle last week. Jefferies has already said the Dems won't come to his rescue for retaining SOH if some Republicans defect on Jan 3rd. No Speaker three days later on Jan 6th? No certification.
No Speaker after 14 more days to January 20th? Biden is gone, Kamala is gone, Trump can't be inaugurated without certification, still no Speaker, so who becomes acting President? Chuck Grassley as President Pro Tempore.
