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.

Fighting vote fraud is “sedition”?

I guess for the Democrat Party it would be.

From the comments, everyone is mocking this.

Here is a hint: It’s a clue to what’s coming should Kamalatoe become president.

We’re extremely close to the ammo box.

They should be impaled.

Not kidding either.

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

Baseless! Drink! Once again, here’s the DNC’s favorite talking point that they instructed all the propaganda media to push incessantly; it makes a great drinking game word!

“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.”

I bet Billy Boy doesn’t even notice the irony in this. He wants to ignore the election and deny duly elected representatives their positions, not because anything fraudulent or unconstitutional happened that illegally elected them but because he disagrees with them on a legal matter. Talk about trying to play dictator.

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

There's the appropriate response.

GREAT! We’ll form our own rump Congress who will elect our own President, probably Trump.

First, we will crush Democrat enclaves, like Denver, St. Louis, Louisville and Dallas. Then we’ll take isolated peripheries like Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Miami. And finally we’ll starve out the northeast and west coast.

And everywhere we will compel Democrats to pack up and leave to the country or continent of their choice. They will like it so much better in China, Canada, Mexico or Africa. We did it before in the 1780s to those who preferred the king and we can do it again.

The Left is so tolerant aren’t they? I have seen other crap from this guy. So glad my family moved out of New Jersey back in the 1970’s.

So now, disagreeing with the democrat party is sedition?
Seeking legal recourse in the courts is sedition?

Well, well.

Bill Pascrell is SUCH an epic dirtbag. In his district he will be re-elected until he’s dead.
