Freeper Williams recently made an excellent point, one that should be shouted far and wide: You can only be accused of insurrection after an insurrection has been lawfully declared.

To my knowledge, no one - not the president, not the Congress, not the Supreme Court - has officially declared an insurrection. So there is no insurrection, and no one can be charged for it.

Trespassing, yes. There are already trespassing laws on the books. Disorderly conduct, yes. There are already disorderly conduct laws on the books.

The Senate could today vote, and declare that January 6th was an insurrection. Well, okay. But the Constitution prohibits ex post facto laws. So any declaration could only apply to actions taken after that declaration.

Democrats and Anti-Trumpers take advantage of the stupidity of the average American.

That is true but since when has that stopped them from doing any of this?

They make up the rules as they go along and pay who they need to do their dirty work and to hell with what you think or what the constitution says.

The law does not apply to them. Isn't that clear by now? And I don't mean to be ugly to you personally it's just that you and others want so much to believe that this isn't happening and it is.
