Raskin: Claiming Trump Was Expressing His First Amendment Rights Is a ‘Deranged Argument
Breitbart ^ | 08/06/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/06/2023 8:17:08 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press” that the argument that former President Donald Trump did not break laws and was only expressing his First Amendment rights in the days after the 2020 election is a “deranged argument.”

Discussing the January 6 indictment, Raskin said, “A technical violation of the Constitution is a violation of the Constitution. The Constitution in six different places opposes insurrection and makes that a grievous constitutional event. Our constitution is designed to stop people from trying to overthrow elections and trying to overthrow the government, but in any event, there’s a whole apparatus of criminal law which is in place to enforce this constitutional principle.”

And yet Trump wasn’t charged with seditious conspiracy or “insurrection”. That commie bastard is talking out of his a$$...

“Insurrection”

Jamie, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Otherwise you would be swinging from a lamppost.

If lying was an actual crime, Ratskin and Schitt would be spending the rest of their lives behind bars. Of course they’d have the company of the Bidens, Clintons, 0bamas, Garland, Mayorkas, and thousands of others involved in politics and media.

Lawyers LIVE for “deranged” arguments and everyone knows it. Recall the trial where a brain surgeon is on the stand explaining that the patients brain was removed and in a dish on a table. The questioning lawyer asking that “could he still not be technically alive”? The confused attorney replies sternly “his brain was removed and on a table!”. The questioning lawyer asks the same question: “could he not still be “alive?” Finally the doctor says...”well...I suppose that he could be alive and practicing law somewhere!” -True story.

All we heard was....count every vote...over and over and over...and lo and behold...because Florida was trying to pull a fast one...Gore's protest wound up in the USSC.

And even afer the USSC decision, Gore said he disagreed with their decision.

A deranged argument. Trump, being Trump, has no 1st Amendment rights.

He makes a pretty good case for immediate Indictments against every last person involved in the Attempted Coup of Donald Trump known as Russia Trump Collusion. I would include every last presstitute and even personalities on TV, that pushed this Conspiracy with absolutely no evidence.

DREW ALLEN——While the Declaration of Independence lays out the reasons, rights, and justifications for our dissolution from Great Britain, and the abolishment of the monarchy, the US Constitution lays out the legal framework for the Nation formed to replace it.

An entirely new and independent country was conceived to reject tyranny, insulate itself from devolving into a tyranny such as it replaced, and to institute laws that regulated, limited, and reigned in the governing...... rather than the governed.

Our Constitution and Declaration — taken together — codify a very unique and fundamental tenet of Americanism; namely the principle of the ‘consent of the governed.’

Thanks to the perversity of Obaba and Joe Biden, “consent of the governed” is no more.

Maybe, just maybe, we need a new Declaration of Independence that lists how the Federal (Deep State) has abused its rights and set up a corrupt tyranny upon us. That, in the course of human events we must break the bonds that unite us...

The Stupid Party should run this video on an endless loop until Biden is dead or in prison.

Raskin lies all the time. If political lies were illegal he’d be in the clink for life.
