“.... Article I Section 5: Powers and Duties of Congress - 2nd paragraph
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a member.

It has the power to enforce, it just doesn’t.
Indeed it may be so. That being said, if it does come to that, the Liberal rank-and-file are sure of...and are, in fact, COUNTING ON, the LEO’s and the military to ‘handle’ us Conservatives. You can interpret that as you see fit.
Anyway, the people of each state & district are to be the ultimate arbiter suitability to serve. As long as “ they - the people” get their turn at the taxpayer trough. They don’t enforce either!
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
State legislatures couldn’t do worse!
“The Convention of States better take place quickly.”
Why do you think those who support a Convention of States would be any more successful with it than they are with anything else?
Say goodbye to the 2nd Amendment if a convention ever occurs.
Few government officials know or give a damn about their oath to protect and preserve this Country from enemies both foreign and domestic. None believe they have a commitment or duty to honor this oath anymore. Congress shirked its duty on January 6, 2021, and now the Court on January 6, 2023, has joined right in. The traitors have shown us who they are.
The court system is as corrupt as everything else. Unfortunately it is the court system that controls everything in the end. They always get the final say.
The court of public opinion will hopefully decide against the Supreme Court's handling of the Brunson complaint in 2024 when patriots primary House members who obstructed investigation of allegations of ballot box tampering in 2020 and 2022, some justices arguably deserving to be impeached as much as Biden does imo.
More specifically, just as the J6 Congress wrongly ignored (imo) not only state non-compliance with the 12th Amendment (12A; electoral vote process), but also allegations of multiple state violations of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (vote-counting fraud), the Court is now having its “J6” moment, likewise seemingly ignoring allegations of criminal breach of constitutional voting integrity safeguards.
Excerpted from the 12th Amendment:
"The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added], ..."
"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. 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." [Apportionment of Representatives]".
Regarding 12A, consider that Justice Joseph Story had indicated that when corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties (my wording) divide a state's presidential voters, the states's electoral votes are clearly divided too.
"In case of any party divisions in a state, it may neutralize its whole vote, while all the other states give an unbroken electoral vote." —Justice Joseph Story, Article 2, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 3, Commentaries on the Constitution 3, 1833."
In other words, the states surrendered their power to make winner-take-all laws for electoral votes when they ratified the Constitution and later 12A imo.
Regarding Section 2 of 14A, consider that the post-Civil War congressional Republicans who drafted Section 2 made it to discourage southern Democrats (my word) from rigging the ballot boxes that Democrats are now alleged to have done for 2020, and now 2022 elections!
"Because slavery (except as punishment for crime) had been abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment, the freed slaves would henceforth be given full weight for purposes of apportionment. This situation was a concern to the Republican leadership of Congress, who worried that it would increase the political power of the former slave states, even as such states continued to deny freed slaves the right to vote." —Apportionment of Representatives
Next, “street fighter” Trump 47 and Congress need to establish an "Oath Court" based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment (14A) that will have original jurisdiction in hearing allegations of abuse of government power by federal or state actors, especially alleged violations of Section 2 of 14A, Section 2 repeated below. (Maybe that's why Sections 2 & 3 are consecutively numbered?)
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof [emphases added]. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Finally, I've updated a well known adage as follows.
Inspired by 17th Amendment, the definition of insanity is electing the same career lawmakers over again, expecting different results every time.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
“Isn’t this whole mess, potentially, cleared up with the case the NC legislature has right now?”
Yep, the Moore case from NC. There was a story posted on here that listed two major cases coming before the Court, Brunson and Moore. Brunson was just a hot mess from the start, a fantasy with no basis in reality.
Moore though, that’s an interesting one. I don’t know how far the Court will go to uphold State Legislative rights, but I think we’ll be better off than before (to me that’s about the best you can hope for with any Gov’t decision).
No Standing or Latches? That’s the normal excuse.....
No surprise, guys.
I would think that the Moore case is absolutely perfect for SCOTUS. If the Conservatives on the court are actually constitutionalists and the text that I saw is upheld, they never have to hear another election/voting case, unless it deals with discrimination outlined in the Voting Rights Act.
It’ll all be on the legislatures and guys like Elias can never shop for and run to a friendly judge ever again nor can SOSs change the rules in the middle of the game.
D@mn straight, corruption of the courts had nothing to do with it.
They couldn't even get the filing right, the clerk had to call them to correct it. The thing was a mess.
Well we all knew they would.
There is only one way that all-powerful empires fall.
From the outside or from the the inside…or both at the same time…the mechanism is still the same. The ruling class in America will be no different.
Americans are cynical, harried and pre-occupied…and I think heavily influenced by drugs and other forms of distraction. Very hard to focus attention to cut through the omnipresent lies.
It will take massive unemployment of the educated labor force and deep shortages, extreme energy prices and things similar to the price of eggs hitting everyone’s consciousness now. Severe enough to overcome the massive quantities of helicopter money coming from the Feds. Most of that money is being circulated through local governments and green non profits. Government employees - a huge segment - are doing better than anyone else.
I think the American people are beginning to take on the attitude of the old Soviet people. I think if things get bad enough, maybe there’ll be things like the Canadian truckers, maybe even a general strike but I doubt that changes much. This government has much more power, intelligence and deadly capability than any central government in history.
People need to put away the Hopium and face reality.
