Lawmakers Who Backed Texas Lawsuit Should Be Barred From House: NJ Congressman [Pascrell]
aol ^ | December 11, 2020 | MARY PAPENFUSS

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) has called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to bar 126 GOP representatives from the House, arguing that their support for the failed, baseless Texas lawsuit seeking to hijack the presidential election violated the Constitution.

The Texas suit, supported by 17 other state attorneys general, was rejected Friday by the U.S. Supreme Court. President Donald Trump had attempted to join the self-serving suit, which sought to jettison votes in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, whose voters chose President-elect Joe Biden.

Pascrell accused the House members who signed an amicus brief supporting the action — including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy — of violating the Constitution by seeking to nullify Americans’ votes. He cited Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

The section prohibits anyone who had gone to war against the union or given aid and comfort to the nation’s enemies from running for federal or state office.

The Pennsylvania brief responding to the Texas lawsuit referred to its “seditious abuse of the judicial process.”

Pascrell said in a tweet accompanied by a statement on Friday: “Today I’m calling on House leaders to refuse to seat any Members trying to overturn the election and make Donald Trump an unelected dictator.”

The “text of the 14th Amendment expressly forbids Members of Congress from engaging in rebellion against the United States,” he tweeted. “Trying to overturn a democratic election and install a dictator seems like a pretty clear example of that.”

Pascrell was quoted in his statement as saying: “Stated simply, the men and women who would act to tear the United States Government apart cannot serve as Members of the Congress.”

Trump has refused to concede the election and continues to repeat baseless claims of election fraud.

He skipped the gulag and went straight for the guillotine. Why waste time?

Paascrell is really a man of limited intelligence. Thus he serves as the poster man for New Jersey Democrats. Oh, I’m reminded, in any other society he would be labeled a fascist.

From S..t hole NJ no less. F him. Frankly, if they want to bar the congressmen in their exercise of their legal options, we need say fine, we are gone. Here comes a few parting gifts from Ellsworth AFB South Dakota and Whiteman AFB, Missouri. In NJ unfortunately they won’t notice the difference before and after except for the upgrades.

So no representation? Do that and kick the states out of the union or let them secede and form their own union. They probably wouldn’t mind being kicked out.

How very Stalinist of them. Will the pictures of these GOP representatives also be erased? Uncle Joe was very good at that. Below we see the little guy on the right simply disappear.

If the Biden/Harris/AOC team prevails, this will be that fate of every conservative politician.

So he should be barred from the House for advocating the nullification of 126 elections by his own reasoning.
