There are more ways but the corruption cannot stand the light of day in an honest Court of Justice.

And just where are you going to find an honest Court of Justice?

Funny how the rats can always depend on a rat judge to rule their way, and yet when we run to a Republican court, the judge, a Republican always seem to backstab us in the back. But I’ll tell you the problem here, the most powerful club for the black robes is the lawfare firm. If you dare cross them you are out of the club. They are dangerous, evil and little by little they are controlling the courts and those who sit behind a bench and wear a black robe. I know cause I have a couple of friends who are lawyers. They dare not speak out against the lawfare establishment. They are powerful, wealthy, and they can destroy you and your career in a heartbeat!

Thank you for referencing that article aim high. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Judge rules suspect in Colorado voting machine tampering case is incompetent"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Some state actor had to hire the man, or minimally gave him access to machine.

It remains that this example can be added to the catch-all "or in any way abridged" wording of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.

"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]"

In fact, the judge may possibly be violating Section 2 if the ruling about the guy effectively obstructs due process of that section imo.

“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

Consider that the post-Civil War congressional Republicans who drafted Section 2 made it to discourage southern Democrats (my word) from rigging the ballot boxes that Democrats are now alleged to have done for 2020, and now 2022 elections!

"Because slavery (except as punishment for crime) had been abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment, the freed slaves would henceforth be given full weight for purposes of apportionment. This situation was a concern to the Republican leadership of Congress, who worried that it would increase the political power of the former slave states, even as such states continued to deny freed slaves the right to vote." —Apportionment of Representatives

Next, ALL the states desperately need to effectively "secede" from the unconstitutionally big federal government by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A).

If the repeal 16&17A amendment was strictly limited to that purpose, then relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification imo.

Well I never considered that method of protecting the perpetrators of vote fraud. This method could even work with Biden.

If he is incompetent to stand trial, does that mean that the judge is also ruling that:

Just how far does this in competence extend, or is it some special kind of limited and specific incompetence?

Could any court find Biden competent to stand trial?

How can any Democrat ever be convicted of anything if you also have to prove they’re competent?

If he were competent he wouldn't be a DemocRat.

“It’s not a death penalty case or even one in which he would serve prison time.”

There’s the problem.

That ship left the harbor a long time ago. Many elections are fixed now. It’s a sham.

The crime is certainly serious, but life sentences and executions are usually reserved for violent rapes or murders. Since the sentencing would be comparatively mild to those, why worry about how competent he is to stand trial when he’s considered competent enough to vote? Also, he doesn’t sound incompetent, and why does he have to understand every proceeding in court when that’s what his lawyer is supposed to do?

Whatever happened, and I’m not sure he’s at fault since the voting machine technician could just as easily been the culprit, a paper ballot system would have prevented this. My county uses paper ballots which you slide into the scanner under the watchful eye of a poll worker.
