U.S. Democracy Could Be in Peril By Pelosi’s HR1
NY Sun ^ | 9 Mar 2021 | Conrad Black

Posted on 03/14/2021 8:19:36 PM PDT by Rummyfan

With any reservations about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election being willfully suppressed by most of the national political press and social media, and the Democrats as the governing party in the White House, and the Capitol torquing up to try to secure the adoption of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s bill H.R. 1, it is time to examine the condition of American democracy.

...

The House has just passed a bill that would compel states to accept mailed-in votes for 15 days prior to and 10 days after Election Day; set up automatic and online voter registration; prohibit review of the eligibility of voters; compel acceptance of ballots cast in the wrong precincts; bar the removal of the ineligible voters from the rolls; permit ballot harvesting; ban any voter identification laws; consign to unelected officials the redrawing of congressional districts; infringe upon free speech by the imposition of “onerous legal and administrative burdens on candidates, civic groups, unions, and non-profit organizations”; and establish a disturbingly named “Commission to Protect Democratic Institutions” in order to end-run the courts.

The potential for gross abuse with these changes if they are enacted is too obvious to require elaboration. Any opposition to it is labeled “voter suppression.” If this bill is enacted, especially with the provision for a bare majority vote on any issue in the Senate, and the addition of two or four sure Democratic senators from Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia admitted as new states, the question of whether and to what extent the United States remains a government of laws and a genuine democracy will not be possible to answer affirmatively with any confidence.

For the Dems, that's a feature not a bug.

When China rolls over the rest of the planet, folks are going
to get to see why the United States was a special place.

Too late...

Unconstitutional

Fedgov does not have any standing to tell states how to run their elections, not in their power to tell them anything.

Thats exactly how they stole the elections in nine states in the first place, they exploited the differences and state legislatures and courts wouldn’t look into it.

They can’t mandate states do their elections any specific way.

If the Senate is so corrupt to pass this abomination , the only hope left for the country is the US supreme Court and that is a slim hope at best.

Yeah, but we are free from mean tweets, and from the burdens of middle east peace, reliable cheap energy, and a booming economy.

REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ?
If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed.

LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for Biden ?

Our Republic, what’s left of it, is in peril from democracy. Pelosi’s bill is just the next logical step.

Fascism has swept across the leadership in DC. I think the country is lost. My greatest fear is the fascist leadership will take it upon it’slf to nuke countries they consider uncooperative, and a leadership that will arrest and imprison anyone in this country that questions the government.

The Supreme Court, as it now exists, ‘no longer works’ for conservative American concerns. Justice Roberts is very proud of that fact.

China isn’t rolling over anyone. We are collapsing morally & fiscally here. The problems are within, as I’ve been saying for years while many focus on China, Iran & Russia.

China is similar to the US Republic in that we both have a Deep State enemy within.

In China’s case, it’s the CCP.

They know that it won’t pass the Supremes in whole. They’re planning on fighting with Republicans in the Senate and wearing them out in order to pass steep compromises in their favor. Another reaction they’re wanting is implied threats of violence, racism, etc., posted by less educated conservatives to hold up as excuses for passing bills for their global autocracy. They hope even more for violent incidents.

Emotion-evoking anecdotes are a big part of their game, and they know that the most influential constituents and politicians on both sides are very insulated from and afraid of middle and lower class Americans. That’s why Wayne LaPierre wore some expensive suits to resemble many other lobbyists.
