Freedom of speech is not insurrection. Burning down cities is.

Make no mistake.

This IS a coup and the Nancy’s Jan 6 kangaroo court WILL ban Trump from running again.

The Roberts supported Judges need to be removed.

Traitor Roberts too.

The voters in his district took care of that.

Did I miss someone repealing the right in America of being presumed to be innocent until PROVEN guilty! When was Cawthrown proven guilty of insurrection by a jury of his peers?

Oh ! he wasn’t? Oh! he hasn’t even been charged!

...

seems easy for me.. the judge should automatically dismiss the case on that alone!

NEXT!

That can be his defense.

Since the summer of love people, who set fire to gov’t buildings weren’t deemed to be insurrections and found guilty as such, then he can’t be.

First of all - it wasn’t an insurrection.

But more importantly - you can’t be punished (disqualified) without being convicted of the crime in question (insurrection).

This isn’t something your political enemies can just “declare” - you have to be charged, tried in front of a Federal judge in an Article III court, and convicted by a jury.

Insurrection/Rebelion is 18 U.S.C. Section 2383. When is the last time someone was charged with this?

I’m sorry but if they start disqualifying people from office and denying Free Speech, there will need to be an insurrection. Isn’t that what we fought the Revolution for?

What is he alleged to have done? Violence? I don’t think so isn’t he in a wheel chair?

The politicians who participated in anti war, civil rights and BLM protests have no problem?

because Republicans are spineless. Why haven’t they demanded the same actions be taken against Schiff?

Wouldn’t there first need to be a finding that an Insurrection even occurred?

"They had him primary then That's not enough. Disgusting "

........ If the Democrat Communist Party can get this to stick on Madison Cawthorn .... Then that would clear the way for removing almost the entire former Trump Administration and restricting them from running for office as per the 14th Amendment. I know many think that it would be impossible to do .... However the Democrats own the entirety of the branches of Government and Federal Law Enforcement that they can use at their disposal.

.... We are now living in a radical Post Constitutional America and the Country we live in is being Reset as planned. They will feign the use of the Constitution for a while until they can eventually dispose of it all together or find or create a way where they can Amend it at will as needed to effect their agenda. Probably the latter.
