Extremists intensify calls for violence ahead of Inauguration Day

[TigressDem]

50. Section 3 of the 14th amendment

Not a lawyer either but the main idea is Congress members take an oath to protect the Constitution and by encouraging acts that amount to insurrection they are culpable. I THINK as do many others, but....

MOST LIKELY they can say, "WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW it would get VIOLENT. I just thought they would protest and that is just free speech."

SO GOING FORWARD - IF WE DEFINE it more clearly,

"Based on events of Jan 6, 2021 where crowds were incited to violence and acts of insurrection by the seated President, media outlets, State officials and members of Congress - which resulted in actual deaths and included plots to murder the Vice President and others in Congress:

It is hereby decreed that such manipulation of the public is a TREASONOUS VIOLATION OF THE OATH OF OFFICE.

No President, Vice President, seated member of Congress or anyone working in conjunction with Congress members or the Executive Branch or those in their employ or otherwise beholden to them may use EVIDENCE DISPROVED IN A COURT OF LAW or otherwise PROVED TO BE FALSE to incite crowds to action against citizens or institutions.

It carries a minimum penalty of 50 years in jail and a maximum penalty of DEATH."




THEN these treasonous bastards have been warned.

The rioters deserve to be charged for their crimes, but they didn't act alone. President Donald Trump and Republican members of the House and Senate have been fanning the flames of insurrection for months. If they don't face legitimate consequences for their actions, we'll risk normalizing treasonous behavior for future generations.

A broken oath

Section 3 of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution states that no elected official "shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against [the Constitution]." Make no mistake: Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Josh Hawley, and many others helped incite this insurrection by following Trump's lead in objecting to the results of the election. They supported the idea that the election was stolen from Trump, despite having no evidence, and invigorated his base in doing so.
