“Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now,” opinion contributors to The Hill, Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte, assert in a Thursday screed advocating the representatives of the people ignore the will of the people expressed in the November election, both electorally and popularly.
Their reason?
“Disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution and not the government. The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming.”
What “evidence”? They provide three examples, curiously concluding in each:
- [T]he trial in the Senate…failed to reach the two-thirds vote required for removal from office…
- [T]he U.S. Supreme Court… held that states lack power to disqualify candidates for federal office and … did not address the finding that Trump had engaged in insurrection.
- The inescapable conclusion of this evidence [from the “House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol”] is that Trump engaged in insurrection against the Constitution.
After more “if”-filled ramblings long on wishful thinking and short on settled law, we get to their end game:
If all (Count Act House) votes for Trump were not counted, Kamala Harris would be elected president.
So, just have career politicians overturn 77,297,721 popular votes…? This from supporters of a party that calls requiring Voter ID racist voter disenfranchisement…?
These guys are top lawyers? Try top Democrat lawyers. Who want to overturn the will of the people if the vote doesn’t go their way… But when you are part of the Big Club, why should you care about what those who aren’t in it want?
Not all are as impressed with them as they are with themselves:
The Hill criticized for op-ed urging Congress to block Trump from taking office: ‘You people are sick’
Some of us would use a different word.
Among other things, Schulte is “an Obama supporter and investment banker with Chicago ties [and] the Guy Who Owns the Obamas’ Vineyard Rental.” He’s also, per Michelle Malkin, a “vulture capitalist” who has “happily embraced the nickname “grave dancer…”
You know, from the party of the workin’ man.
Davis is another long-time transparent apparatchik, heading a Richard Nixon impeachment task force, serving as then New York Governor Mario Cuomo’s counsel, and “A candidate for the Democratic nomination for Attorney General in 1998.” And he’s shown us one of the strategies he would like to impose that would be necessary for his latest bright idea:
“The law treats dangerous dogs more carefully than assault-style rifles,” he shrieked in another rant published by The Hill showing just how delusional Democrat legal influencers can be. “There’s an opening for gun control here — one that can be pursued in court, rather than Congress.”
Yeah, he went there. What a dope. One who wants to unlawfully invalidate our votes and to unlawfully disarm us. Correction: Have others do it for him.
And if we say “No”?
At least he and his partner in subversion are not so detached they think there’s a chance of Congress seating Harris, but that’s because self-serving politicos are first and foremost survivors who, for the most part, know that would start a civil war with the most heavily armed (and extremely peaceable without justifiable provocation) civilian population on the planet. And if they actually believe January 6 was an “insurrection,” wait ‘til they see the response their little plot would bring.
Still, you gotta wonder: If they believe Donald Trump telling the crowd on Jan. 6, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” was his marching order to riot and hang Mike Pence, how much culpability will Davis and Schulte share with other Democrat rabble rousers if Trump is prevented from taking office or prevented from serving by those who heed their words?
It sure sounds like “seditious conspiracy” to me, but I guess that would have to be decided by the victors…
