Now you can call them RINOs, you can call them gutless, but they aint democrats doing this.
Shea's/Shay's Rebellion?
As long as Hillary roams free there is no rule of law in the USA.
What are these RINOs thinking?
Fake accusations are working so the RATS are going to keep it up.
The GOP-e will keep following the Uniparty lead until they start coming for the GOP-e.
Too stupid to know they are next.
democrats, Hell! It’s Republicans going after Shea!!!
Not refreshing to see at all.
Shea represents Washington’s 4th District, which encapsulates the area surrounding Spokane Valley.
Important to note that this is a Washington STATE REP. Not a US Congressman.
Gee I do not remember all those Lib Congress persons having the same treatment for going outside the USA to help our enemies.........
Dang.
“If the GOP had been in charge for a generation I’d probably be a Democrat,” he once told me. That’s a sign of a pragmatist rather than an ideologue, someone who seeks political balance, stability and greater efficiency.
Has nothing to do with the US House of Representatives.
Shea’s alleged actions may trigger Section 3 of the 14th Amendment imo. If such is the case, then Shea should no longer be a member of his state’s legislature imo.
”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."
Corrections, insights welcome.
Congress doesn’t need to invoke an amendment. The House and Senate can each expel a member for any reason by a two-thirds vote.
Section 3 is a long sentence isn’t it. :^(
I understand that every sentence in the Constitution was drafted by committee.
"[…] having previously taken an oath, […] as a member of any State legislature, […]"
Let’s argue that Rep. Shea is technically right about his groups' allegations concerning federal control referenced wildlife refuge. The problem remains that Section 3 is a punitive measure for federal or state government officials who actively rebel against federal government.
Again, corrections, insights welcome.
I am intimately familiar with the “armed standoff in Priest River, Idaho”.
It involved a US Veteran (one of my former patients) who had a stroke (public knowledge) and needed some help getting his financial affairs in order after he was released from a rehab hospital. This fellow is a nice guy and certainly no threat to himself or anyone else.
The VA in its infinite wisdom decided that since he had had a stroke and needed help with his financial affairs he should not have any firearms at home and sent their busybodies to confiscate them. Imagine their surprise when they were met by over 100 citizens including fellow veterans, our local state Rep Heather Scott, Washington Rep Maee Shea from nearby Spokane Valley, and the Bonner County Sheriff.
The VA apparatchiks were politely informed that no firearms were going to be confiscated from this veteran and promptly high-tailed it back to the Spokane VA hospital. Score one for the good guys for a change.
The report that was commissioned by the RINO’s in the Washington State Legislature was performed by the Rampart Group out of Silverdale, WA. They reviewed multiple online press reports and compiled them into their 108 page hit piece. They allegedly interviewed several people but refuse to name them. Rampart Group CEO is a retired female FBI agent. We all know how honest and pure FBI agents are, don’t we?
Ruby Ridge happened in 1992 in North Idaho. FBI agents murdered several Idaho Citizens illegally during that situation. No one here is going to forget or forgive that. Then came the Branch Davidians and Lavoy Finnicum. The FBI are the REAL domestic terrorists.
That would be Matt Shea.
Maatt Shea update.
Homeland inSecurity under Obama named 2nd amendment advocates, domestic terrorists.
Thank you bears repeating.
Interestingly, noting that Section 3 of 14A requires 2/3 supermajority vote in each House for alleged offender to return to office, Section 3 arguably implies that guilty government officials are automatically expelled from office.
Given the “shoot first and ask questions later” martial law / cold war aspect of Section 3 imo, I can see where lawmakers didn’t want lawmakers who were possibly spies to ether listen in on discussions or to vote, especially during times of civil unrest.
Again, corrections, insights welcome.
