Time for us to begin playing “Americans and terrorists”
Senate Panel Deadlocks on Democratic Elections Overhaul Bill
“The legislation would set national standards for election laws, including no-excuse mail-in voting and automatic voter registration, require additional campaign finance disclosures and impose new ethics provisions for all three branches of federal government, among other changes.”
In other words if passed it would strip the Constitutional Article 2 authority vested to the State Legislatures and give it to Congress; no doubt sighting the 14 Amendment “equal access” provision to get it through the inevitable court challenges. Assuming the SCOTUS isn’t stacked of course. Don’t think the filibuster will hold, betting Schumer manages to get it to the floor for a vote. Civil War 2.0 indeed.
From Article 2:
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.”
14th Amendment:
Section 1
“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
“But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.”
Maybe the 15th Amendment is what they would use:
“Section 1
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”
“Section 2
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”
Not sure how banning mail-in-ballots except upon request, signature/address verification, and outlawing vote canvasing would apply accept to argue that it might have a greater impact on minority voters which is not the same thing as “denying” it.
“A large minority, more than prior to the Civil War, believe this will result in bloodshed.”
It already has. More than 30 people were killed by the Democrat’s Progressive Fascist race riots in 2020, with thousands injured, and an unknown hospitalized and left with life long debilitation injuries. We don’t know how many because the media wont report on the victims of Democrats.
Democrats now have armed escorts brandishing weapons while unarmed Democrats beat and bully people. The shouted threat is that anyone who acts out gets a bullet.
How many Democrats even know that their own party has armed paramilitaries beating drivers, threatening outdoor diners, and marching through the streets terrorizing the populace? Probably less than know of the five year campaign of Democrat planned violence that got us to where we are today.
