Raskin and the Agents of Chaos: Democrats Prepare to Resume Disqualification Efforts in Congress
Jonathan Turley.org ^ | Mar. 5. 2024 | Jonathan Turley

Posted on 03/05/2024 5:13:50 AM PST by Lakeside Granny

Calling it “one on a huge list of priorities,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) announced that he will be reintroducing a prior bill with Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swalwell to disqualify not just Trump but a large number of Republicans from taking office.

The alternative, it appears, is unthinkable: allowing the public to choose their next president and representatives in Congress. It appears that the last thing Democrats want is for the unanimous decision to actually lead to an outbreak of democracy. Where the Court expressly warned of “chaos” in elections, Raskin and others appear eager to be agents of chaos in Congress.

Soon after the decision, Raskin went on the air at CNN to assure people that he and his colleagues would not stand by and allow the right to vote be restored to citizens in the upcoming election. He pledged to offer a prior bill that would declare Jan. 6 an “insurrection” and that those involved “engaged in insurrection.”

I previously wrote about these “ballot cleansing” efforts because it would not just disqualify Trump but potentially dozens of sitting Republican members of Congress. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) sought to bar 126 members of Congress under the same theory. Similar legislation offered by Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) to disqualify members got 63 co-sponsors, all Democrats.

Raskin’s participation in this effort is crushingly ironic. In 2016, he sought to block certification of the 2016 election under the very same law as violent protests were occurring before the inauguration.

Of course not. Demoncraps fight to win. Republicans fight for a desk to hide under.

Raghead Raskin and agents are using the only stopgap measure they have left. They will still lose.

Remember Chajin's Rule of Present-Day Politics: nothing is ever settled until it is settled the way the Left wants it settled, and only then is it to be considered settled, until the Left moves the goalpost.

Let them embarrass themselves further.

Look how petrified they are about Trump being allowed on a ballot. Why are they so frightened? They have the illegal alien vote...they have the fraud votes....they have a booming economy....they have DEI....Biden has it in the bag...lol

Those named in this measure are truly the scum of scum. They are loci of disaster for our country. What a collection of hidebound IDIOTS! Ratskin is an avowed commie, just like his father. He is absolutely despicable, as is Wasserman-Schultz and Swallowell.

I don’t see how any court would let them do anything like this.

FTA ….

…. Of course, the Democrats would need to craft the legislation correctly to satisfy the standard and secure the support of both houses. Neither appears likely at this point.

However, Raskin is succeeding in one respect. He and his colleagues have bulldozed any moral high ground after January 6th. Most of us condemned the riot on that day as a desecration of our constitutional process. Yet, the Democrats have responded with the most anti-democratic efforts to prevent voters from exercising their rights in the upcoming election.….

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Neither recrafting legislation NOR winning over both Houses appears likely.

And, who is this “most of us” who “condemned the riot on that day as a desecration of our constitutional process”, that Turley speaks of??

Riot??

Really???

The unhinged left only has fear to run on (We won’t certify Trump! We’ll disqualify Trump, somehow!! Iranian assassin is on the loose, for revenge of Trump’s 2020 Iranian air strike!! Yada, yada, yada.)

MAGA merely needs to carry on, under full protections of our US Constitution.

This is outstanding and could lead to GOP sweeping more seats in congress, if handled correctly. Take this to the house floor ASAP. Get an on the record vote for who supports our constitutional republic and who wants to destroy it.

It will be a great wake up call for the American people.

The worst that could happen is democrats would chicken out and not vote for it.

By November they will come out and say they will refuse to work with Trump in anyway, shape or form. The minions that push the pencils for the DC bureaucracy will walk off the job if Trump is elected, riots and mayhem will be the order of the day. Jan 6, 2025 will be the left wing starting gun for their revolution. Stay prepared, stay prayed up.

When will we see the RNC and republican leadership on TV shows and ads - exposing and condemning the lawfare and gaslighting of Raskin and his democrat ilk?

Today, I heard a number of SOSs and other government officials still referring to Trump as an "insurrectionist". Trump has never been indicted or tried for insurrection. Why aren't these government officials being sued for liable and slander?

These kooks get crazier everyday.

Imagine their mental state around October/November.

“Remember Chajin’s Rule of Present-Day Politics: nothing is ever settled until it is settled the way the Left wants it settled, and only then is it to be considered settled, until the Left moves the goalpost.”

That is the most succinctly accurate statement I have ever read.

No one should be surprised. Once Mueller’s Russia investigation collapsed, pecker puss Pelosi and Schiff cooked up the Ukrainian phone call impeachment scam. The Dems are betting big on the hyped J6 insurrection narrative. They’re going to milk it as best they can.
