Time for Republicans to take a stand against Pelosi's Jan. 6 circus: Cheney and Kinzinger won't do anything. But what's the rest of the party's excuse?
American Thinker ^ | 11/10/2021 | David Zukerman

When will the House Republican Conference (minus two members who should no longer be in the conference: turncoats Cheney and Kinzinger) rise up as one to denounce the Pelosi Select the Heretics Committee as unconstitutional — as have Representatives Banks and Taylor Greene — and the panel's subpoenas as invalid as the fruit of an unconstitutional tree?

This panel was selected only by Pelosi, contrary to normal House procedures that the minority party selects its members on House committees.

The subpoenas issuing forth from this invalid committee are disdainful of the First Amendment, as the drafts suggest that it is unlawful to hold a different view of election results from that held by the "winning" party.

The Democrats have made a fetish over their insistence that to disagree with the leftist view is to assert a false, and what is more, an unlawful, claim. Since when are differing views on politics disallowed, under law, as false? One can appreciate the disfavor with which the woke leftists view Thomas Jefferson, principal author of the Declaration of Independence. In his first inaugural, Jefferson declared, "[E]rror of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left to combat it." Are we to understand that the woke left now holds the view that as reason is not to be allowed to combat their politics, "error of opinion" can't be recognized? Isn't this the hallmark of the totalitarian state? One has no right to individual application of reason, and, therefore, one has no possibility of holding an "erroneous" opinion? Reason is whatever Big Brother says it is.

No wonder the woke left calls for a transformation of America. Leftists aim to turn the American spirit of freedom into the ancient ban on the freedom to think.

Why are the citizens being held in conditions worse than any third world prison?

You would think by now Amnesty International would be up in arms. The American Civil Liberties Union would be screaming.

They all are in concert with the Communists in the WH, Justice Department, FBI, CIA and every single other employee of the government.

The GOP are a bunch of bums.

If not for the Dems, no one would vote for them.

145 of the GOP House voted for Liz Cheney in February to lead them (away from MAGA).

We need to replace most of the House and Senate GOP, they are Assistant Democrats and will never be on our side.

The House setting up a committee is not unconstitutional.

This committee is garbage, yes, but garbage can still be constitutional. The House not following its “normal procedures” is also not unconstitutional. The Committee should be denounced as being illegitimate for this reason, yes.

This is just more nonsense from the “American Thinker” - once a halfway decent opinion site. This is just a worthless rant with no substance.

It’s remarkable that a president with a real approval rating of probably under 30% has NO actual opposition. Pro wrestling is less fake than our politics.

I certainly wouldn't think that.

You really think Republicans are going to “do” anything?

They aren’t.

article: “Time for Republicans to take a stand”

The "Republicans" can't even take a stand in front of a urinal.

Most of them are feckless sitzpinklers.

Things are the way they are because the people in control want it this way.

Fundamental axiom of everything.

Democrats need to be allowed to prove that they should never be given power again.

Where is Fox News (most trusted news network(?)) on this sham?

Well you only need see what Bret Baier (AKA Fox News) said about it.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier said Tuesday's testimony from four members of law enforcement who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 pokes a hole in efforts by some of President Trump's allies to downplay the deadly incident or discredit the congressional investigation.
So where is Fox News on this?

With the administration that they were complicit in having him illegally inserted in office. And by extension betraying a sitting President and an entire nation

The Jan 6 investigation/committee is being pushed by Fox News as a distraction for the fraud they perpetrated in the 2020 election. Blaming Trump will justify (in their mind) their illegal act(s) in the 2020 election.

Where are Repubs on ANY of this horri, and destructive, carp happening, under this poser regime, right now?

Where are they on the FRAUD, FRAUDci? And, these tyrannical mandates for something that THEY are exempt from??

Only Sens Ron Johnson and Rand Paul seem to be mentioning.

The others? Counting their CCP deposited pieces of silver, I guess.

Rome is burning, but....they’re exempt and they’re so *RICH*.

Evil.

No excuse. They all hate Donald JL Trump and will until they die. Trump dared to run for and win the office of President WITHOUT PERMISSION!
