Pence pushes back on Trump’s call to terminate the Constitution
The Hill ^ | 12/05/2022 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 12/05/2022 9:38:01 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday pushed back on former President Trump’s assertion that the Constitution should be disregarded to allow for him to return to the White House in the wake of new revelations about Twitter’s handling of a controversial story about Hunter Biden.

“I must tell you that I think that everyone that serves in public office, everyone that aspires to serve or serve again should make it clear that we will support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Pence said on WVOC radio in Columbia, S.C., ahead of a visit to the state on Tuesday.

The former vice president, who has said he is contemplating a 2024 presidential bid, noted that every federal official takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.

Pence added that he believes he upheld his oath to defend the Constitution throughout his four years as Trump’s vice president, particularly in the final weeks of his term as Trump pressured him to reject the 2020 election results.

He absolutely did.

Absolutely, huh? Please lay out so we can understand from absolute terms. What he said was akin to if rules and laws weren’t followed that essentially voids them. He didn’t CALL FOR cancelling the constitution.

They all take the oath, not all actually do it. Or they follow the version of the constitution the way they interpret it.

“Trump DID NOT CALL FOR US TO RECIND RHE U.S. Constitution !”

I agree.

Somehow this is getting more ink than Biden congratulating the Democratic party for taking voter fraud to a new, higher level. Imagine that.

Trump, in his admittedly imperfect and incomplete manner, is probably referring to the legal principle of Void ab initio, which in Latin means having no legal effect from the inception and beginning of a fraud.

A law, agreement, sale, or other action that is void has no legal effect. A void action cannot be ratified or validated. An action that is void ab initio never had any legal effect.

Obviously, this concept is open to debate inasmuch as it being sufficient to overthrow a fraudulent presidential election, but the utterly corrupt media will run as far as they can by inverting reality and portraying Trump, rather then the Biden Administration and the Prog left as being hostile to the constitution itself.

I always thought that Trump chose Pence because Pence was a useless IDIOT.

Nothing has proven that assessment to be wrong.

I do recall how deferential Pence was to Harris in their debate but didn’t think too much of it at the time.

The result of the tweet is that so many are coming out of the woodwork, unable to resist putting their narrow, strick, un-American spirit of interpretation and judgment on record.

Of their own free will.

Handy.

How long until their own method of “discernment” falls on their own heads? One with no mercy or desire for understanding. Then it’s a chorus of

“That’s not what I meant! That’s not fair!”

Not enough tiny violins..

Why can’t Trump’s team get out ahead of these things? This is a clown show.

I agree.

Poorly worded. What Trump wrote could be read a couple of ways.

In courts of law, plaintiffs are allowed recourse for wrongful actions committed by a perpetrator, and the perpetrator does suffer consequences for his illegal actions.

In a court of law, when fraud is proven, all gains that are based on that fraud become null and void.

The Constitution provides for a republican form of government where the people, directly or indirectly, are the ultimate source of authority, electing representatives.

That didn't happen in 2020.

Just because our courts don't have the courage to void a fraudulent election, doesn't mean that they don't have that power.

He said the fraud “allows for the termination”
not that it caused it.

The courts fear the politicians, and politicians determine the composition of the courts.

Yes, he said it:

“So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!” (Dec 03, 2022, 7:44 AM)

And followed it up with:

“UNPRECEDENTED FRAUD REQUIRES UNPRECEDENTED CURE!” (Dec 03, 2022, 3:44 PM)

Biden already suspended the constitution when he censored information on Twitter.
