Gene Stilp, an activist who previously ran for Congress in Pennsylvania as a Democrat, is seeking to have the Republican banned from running for office over claims he violated the U.S. Constitution's insurrection clause by supporting Trump's false 2020 election fraud claims.

Mark Levin mis-titled his last book. It should have been titled “The Democrat Party are Morons who Hate America”

#1. “the individual State legislatures have plenary authority to establish and alter election rules and regulations.” (cf US Constitution, para).

#2. According to the 14th Amwndment, Congress alone is the arbiter of who can and cannot \hold\ federal elected office. And correspondingly, Congress is to determine whether an insurrection existed.

In #1, the Pennsylvania courts are KNOWINGLY usurping the prerogative extended solely to the Pennsylvania Legislature. The Legislature is the party harmed.

In #2, Congress has not moved that an insurrection happened and therefore no insurrection can be proven.

I thought as much back when the Colorado thing first happened--that it wouldn't stop with Trump. And here we are.

It was obvious that if they could remove a presidential candidate, Representative and Senate candidates would be no problem at all...........

If our candidates are kept off of ballots, there is only one suitable response.

Rats sure know how to act like like low-life scum. Must be in their DNA.

None are fit to hold office.

As I've mentioned before concerning Perry, the attack on him -- as the LONE conservative Republican in Congress from the entire northeastern U.S. -- even if this illegal move to bar him from the ballot does not succeed (fully aided and abetted by the corrupt PA Secretary of State, the corrupt PA Democrat Supreme Court, etc.) the idea is simply to generate as much negative publicity for Perry as possible and jeopardize his re-election chances as much as possible.

His district is only slightly right-leaning and getting worse by the day. It was a safe district as configured back in 2011 and Perry first won it in 2012 when ultra-squishy Republican Todd Platts retired.

PA District 10 Demographics & Election Results

The thoroughly corrupt PA Democrat Supreme Court seized control of the redistricting process in 2018 -- when no redistricting was even called for -- and implemented a severe Democrat gerrymander which flipped several congressional seats from R to D and greatly endangered 2 others (Perry's district being one of those).

Actions such as these by black-robed Democrat tyrants in places like PA, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia were the ONLY reason the Democrats controlled the House after 2018. Think about the impact that had on the Trump presidency and its aftermath.

In the next redistricting in PA, the corrupt Court AGAIN seized control away from the GOP legislature -- which, thank to the Court's state-level gerrymander is no longer in GOP control -- and then screwed the Republicans AGAIN by taking away one more seat.

Perry has managed to survive so far, and the Rats inexplicably didn't even seriously challenge him in 2022.

But they are taking no chances this time.

Not to give the left any more ideas, but how close are they from banning all Republican voters for somehow being affiliated with the J6 “Insurrection” that was worse than Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Pearl Harbor, the Civil War, a case of the crabs, and 9/11 combined?
