Getting them away from the reins of power is of more immediate importance.

We wouldn't want vagueness or a misunderstanding of terms to "de-justify" the very necessary procedure of eliminating these creatures from the body politic.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.


they arn't guilty of that but can still be expelled or charged with sedition

What's the definition of "Enemies"? Seems pertinent to the case.

Include

Every one of them needs to be expelled.

I'm expecting a blue wave in November. Hoping for a big wave, but realistic.

Aren't there a few running who were involved in 1/6? Some of them are bound to get elected or reelected, or claim election fraud if they don't win. We should expell and prosecute them.

Called the establishment clause on religion and well regulated militia language in the 2nd Amendment that the Supreme Court has ignored.

Use the big hammer: 14th amendment. After all, convictions will wind up on appeal in Amy Corona Barrett's lap.

How about Lindsey Graham, Grassley, Gosar, Gaetz, Ronny Jackson, Jim Jordan, Rick Scott, Scott Perry, Louie Gohmert, and so many more. It's a parade of Treason Weasels.

Expel them all!
