Capitol rioter who wanted to 'hang' Nancy Pelosi says she can't be prosecuted because God..

[634-5789]

...gave her ‘dominion over the law’

A Pennsylvania woman who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has filed court documents claiming she is immune from earthly laws thanks to her faith in Jesus Christ, the Daily Beast reports.

Pauline Bauer, who allegedly told a Capitol police officer during the riot to “bring Nancy Pelosi out here now… we want to hang that f***ing b*tch,” is charged with multiple counts of violent entry, disruptive conduct, and obstruction of Congress. According to the Beast’s report, Bauer demanded to act as her own lawyer and seemingly threatened a court clerk with prison time, and declared herself a “self-governed individual” with special legal privileges.

“I am here by special divine appearance, a living soul,” she told a judge on June 11.

“I do not stand under the law,” she said. “Under Genesis 1, God gave man dominion over the law.”

She's going to find out that her 'God' is a judge and 12 of her peers. Good luck in jail, dumb ass.

1. If she has renounced her citizenship, deport her - after she completes her jail term

[thucythucy]

2. Is this the same Jesus Christ who was reported to have said:

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's...."

Let's just hope that aren't any Trump appointed judges who will buy any of this zealot's nonsense.

6. This insurrectionist only made it to the first book of the first book...

Definitely, not a reader.

Old Testament kind of person. Most of them are in a cafeteria sort of way.

[thucythucy]

9. I suspect she gets her "theology" from some carnival barker's mega church.

Or the TeeVee.

This is my 6,000th post!

[Hugin]

13. Congrats, thucy!

And may there be many many more!

[thucythucy]

14. Thank you!

And best wishes to you as well!

[HuskyOffset]

35. That sounds like sovcit legal mumbo jumbo (NT)

[niyad]

38. It is.

[KentuckyWoman]

54. Bingo.

You understand exactly.

[everyonematters]

3. Good luck with that.

[PJMcK]

4. Some Christian

I no longer believe in Christianity but I did actively attend church for over 40 years. Inside those sacred walls, I never heard anyone say, "...bring (her) out here now... we want to hang that fucking bitch!"

Nice language for someone who claims to be a Christian.

More importantly, there's a Commandment that says, "Thou shalt not kill." Yet Bauer wanted to hang an elected official. She's something special!

Bauer is either going to prison or to a mental health facility.

[thucythucy]

12. If she does end up in a mental health facility

I will feel bad for her fellow patients.

They no doubt will have enough problems in their lives without having to deal with all these Trumpanzees while in treatment.

[Escurumbele]

15. That is most probably what she is working at, going to a mental facility to avoid jail.

She most probably hopes that going to a mental institution that she can be let out sooner, one she proves she is not insane.

I hope the judge doesn't buy any of this bull, she belongs in jail for attempted murder.

A guy in England successfully used the insanity defense. He spent more time in the mental institution than he would have in prison. Said it was much more difficult to prove yourself sane than insane.

[keithbvadu2]

34. Law & order had a show about that.

Law & Order had a show about that.

At the end of the show he realized that he had placed himself in with genuinely insane people.

[multigraincracker]

5. "Under Genesis 1, God gave man dominion over the law."

Wait a minute, it says "man".

Just give me a minute and I'll find a loop hole.

[Hugin]

7. Is that the same Old Testament which says women are chattel?

No ERA in there, man.

[raging moderate]

21. Except it doesn't say that.

It doesn't say any such thing.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. In what case was this precedent established?

Take your time. It hasn't.

[Hugin]

11. There's probably a few hard timers she can consult with, but, she probably won't...

Because, she's smarter than everyone on Earth.

41. Time to change attorneys when yours claims to know everything.

And I should know: I'm an attorney.

[Brainfodder]

10. All gall no brains?

Sick of the tolerance of, yet, afforded these mental defectives?

[-misanthroptimist]

16. That's fine

All she has to do is have God bring his immortal butt into the courtroom and testify on her behalf. Should that happen then even I, an atheist of 45 years, will support acquittal. Barring that unlikely event, throw the book at her self-righteous ass.

[bedazzled]

17. She can call in George burns!

23. I refuse to acknowledge any god that smokes cigars

and stands away from the building

18. Religion is control.

Don't be controlled. Is that ok moderators?

[Vinca]

19. I think this is my favorite defense of all. Hope her trial is televised.

She'll probably be sent off for a visit at the happy hotel first because the woman "ain't right."

50. Republicans

Will not read that part of the constitution while they think it only applies to them.

What happens when right to persue happiness,is happiness when people are abused.

Sociopaths are happy when other people suffer and die.

[SergeStorms]

22. God and jesus must be subpoenaed.....

and be made to testify. Let's clear this up right now. They're called down on republicans' side in most arguments, so it's time to put up or shut up.

They must testify, or never be allowed as admissible evidence in anyone's side of an argument from here on out.

[Jon King]

24. These right wingers are certainly a 'diverse' group.......

You have your white supremacists collection, your driven crazy by religion sect, your anti women coalition, your I love my 30 big guns more than my 2 kids group, and a bunch of people who are either rich and don't want to pay taxes or think some day they just might be rich and just in case won't want to pay taxes when they get rich.

Quite a collection they have cobbled together.

[COL Mustard]

25. What A Dumb Fuck Thing To Say

Trouble is, she probably sincerely believes it, like the rest of the loony goober brigade.

[robbob]

28. So, the insanity defence?

[NewJeffCT]

29. look, if I went around saying I was Emperor

just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away...

[Chainfire]

42. Unless of course, you were a defeated president.

[PCIntern]

49. I saw what you did there....

😄

So she would accept that defense from someone who burned down her house and seriously injured her family members?

31. The portrait of an average Trump supporter

Someone forgot their morning dose of Thorazine.

[MrModerate]

32. The woman is nuts, but not in a way that relieves her of responsibility for her crimes. n/t

[area51]

36. Next up,

a psychiatric exam for her.

[True Blue American]

37. With that filthy mouth she done got Religion?

[Another Jackalope]

39. Another garden-variety Dominionist

Those fuckers scare me.

[Demnation]

40. The olde evangelical scriptrure mix-n-match technique. Makes you look stupid, but what the heck?

[hadEnuf]

43. So she thinks she is above the law....

Sound familiar?

[milestogo]

44. God gave Nancy Pelosi dominion over the House and made her 3rd in the line of succession

to the American presidency.

[clementine613]

45. All Rethugs are SovCit nuts

[maxsolomon]

46. Sad, but this level of delusion is not unprecedented in America.

Despite her antics in court, she'll get the same deal and sentence as the rest of Trump's pawns: time served and probation. Sorry to be cynical about it.

[Martin68]

47. She demanded to act as her own lawyer. LOL! Good luck with that!

[LakeArenal]

48. Hey lady, render under Caesar what is his.

Render under god what is his.

Obey law, pay taxes, get vaxed and go to church and thank science for saving lives.

[RainCaster]

51. She would not like it if I was on her jury

I have little patience with terminally stupid people.

[Hassler]

52. She will soon learn that God's divine law will give her baloney sandwiches each week.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

53. "Special Divine Appearance", huh? Is there a floor show? How long will you be in town?

Should i try the ecclesiastical veal?

[PoliticAverse]

55. "self-delusional individual" n/t

[nolabear]

56. Yeah, Jesus thought that too.

Tbh I like Jesus. He was a communist revolutionary who might have had some delusions but seems to have been what the Buddhists would call a bodhisattva. Someone who “gets it.” Those guys are despised by authoritarians and killed off at the first opportunity.

[GulfCoast66]

57. All the post here saying she is insane are insult to the truly mentally ill.

Plenty of totally sane people believe stupid shit.

Saying the earth is 6-7K years old is not much crazier than what she is claiming. Yet 20% of Americans believe just that.

Wonton ignorance and faith in the unprovable is not insane. But common.

I’m sure plenty of people on DU believe in ghosts or spirits or something. That not insane. To me it is belief in something totally unscientific. Now, if those who belief in ghost or spirits for some crazy reason thought those spirits led them to try to overthrow the government and hang the speaker they would not have an insanity defense.

I’m a free thinker. Most Americans, including a large majority of democrats aren’t, they are religious and I’m cool with that. But to me most Americans believe unbelievable ideas.

[Johonny]

58. Given the typical judgment of GOD in the bible, I'd stick with the American justice system

God is harsh.

[Iggo]

59. I don't believe there are any gods.

But I know for a fact that you can fuck up so bad to where the only higher power that matters is the criminal justice system.
