Democrats attempting to eliminate Republican candidates

This ballot cleansing movement is going nation wide. It’s not just an attempt to remove Trump. It’s an attempt to remove Republicans or conservative candidates. Democrats are doing this in the name of defending democracy.

This is where the Democrats have gone. Defending democracy by eliminating the democratic process.

Below is my column in the New York Post on the expansion of the 14th Amendment theory to attempt to remove Republican candidates for Congress from the ballots. Dozens of Democratic members have already called for the disqualification of up to 126 Republican colleagues under the same sweeping theory.

 

If the spineless republicans allow this and then out of principle refuse to do the same then in removing the Democrats, we will be a monoparty system like China and freedom will go out the windows as one party reigns unchecked and can keep it's power indefinitely regardless of what the people want.

Sadly the only two options are ahead of us, the supreme court ends this and brings power back to the people and their vote, OR Balkanization and the rejection of laws and powers of federal governments elected under illegitimate means as all candidates will be winning through legal battles instead of votes.

 

It’s obvious that the a Democrats want the one party rule, but the answer is not one party rule by their opponents.

 

Democrats following the Constitution always enrages Republicans. This thread is just one example.

If you don't want to be removed from the ballot, don't engage in insurrection. Is that really so hard to grasp?

 

They didn't engage in insurrection. Typical progressive default to redefining the terms. Like redefining the 14th Amendment to suit their goals. Rather than come up with policies that they can win with legitimately.

Same old, same old. Just like Chevron.

 

The plain text of the Constitution says I'm right. Remember, we can read, so we know you're faking it all.

Try peddling your commie-inspired revisionism there to someone who cares.

 

Trump did not engage in insurrection. I have already posted an article by one of the country's leading constitutional scholars-btw he despises Trump, supports Haley

 

Mamooth has a history of making comments which demonstrate he has no respect for the democratic process.

 

Show this text which says you’re right.

 

yeah I am waiting for that. I suspect the "proof" will be underwhelming

 

They're providing aid and support to insurrectionists!!!!!!

 

It's obvious that you want us all to ignore Trump's crimes!

 

Democrats are moving nation wide to remove Republicans from the ballot. Liberals are totalitarians at heart. They abhor opposition to their ideas.

 

No. Democrats are showing their true colors. They want no obstacles between them and total control. Fortunately tens of millions of people are waking up to this attempt to create one party rule in America.

People are seeing that the most incompetent and harmful administration in history is what you get with Democrats in control.

 

Do you think this is the first time in the US? You must be a part-time enthusiast..

 

If that were true then the Democrats would eliminate the GOP of which they are not, only one guy who broke the rules.

 

Broke what actual rules?

 

The one about behaving after taking an oath of office.

 

And what actual rule is that?

 

His oath of office. The one he kinda blew off trying to claim the election was stolen when it was not.

 

His oath of office was to do his best in service of his country. Which certainly includes questioning Democrat's push to cheat.

 

So you oppose enforcement of the law?

 

What a stupid question.

 

Wow. Way too much Fox, Newsmax, right wing fake news there. The 14th Amendment says anyone in congress who has given aid or comfort to rebellion or insurrection shall not hold office. So Democrats are showing their true colors in upholding the Constitution.

You and the rest of the far right are doing the opposite.

 

And you're a lawyer?
