Dem Proposal to Not Seat GOP Who Have Been Duly-Elected Should Shock Us All
By Nick Arama | Jun 15, 2021 3:15 PM ET

Democrats have demonized Republicans for objecting to the electoral count of various states in the 2020 election despite Democrats having done exactly the same thing in the past.

But apparently, when Democrats do it, it’s all just cool. They don’t even care what hypocrites they look like, if they can pitch that narrative to their base and hype them up. We’re just supposed to forget things like Hillary Clinton questioning the legitimacy of President Donald Trump’s election since 2016. Do you recall the efforts by folks to suborn the Trump electors in 2016 and the death threats they got? How about Stacey Abrams’ claim that she should have become Governor of Georgia (but for losing by 50,000 votes)?

Republicans have been trying to ensure election security and multiple states have introduced or passed bills in regard to that. Apparently, election security is an issue for some on the left, who have tried to demonize the Republican efforts. One has to wonder why they are working so hard at trying to defeat such efforts, with folks like Joe Biden even calling them “Jim Crow 2.0.”

But now, Democratic lawyer Marc Elias, who represented the Democrats in cases filed by President Donald Trump over the 2020 election and is involved in cases over some of the new laws/bills, has a new proposal.

According to Roll Call, Elias has proposed that the House Democratic majority refuse to seat newly elected Republicans from states that imposed new voting “restrictions.”

Not shocked in the least.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The only thing that could shock me about Rodents is if they started demanding ID from voters like they do for China Virus vaxxers.
The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

Never happen, because there's nothing that would guarantee secession more than disenfranchising the voters of an entire state by refusing to seat their representatives. I actually kind of hope they do thry this, but they're not that dumb.

If you are shocked by this, then you haven't been paying attention for the last 40 years.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

To not seat a representative from a sovereign state is clearly unconstitutional and rationale for that state to abandon any nation that attempts to deny its representation.
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington
