Traitors lurking in congress

[Beachnutt]

[Richard D]

1. I think I lost 20 IO points . . .

. . . just looking at those photos.

[Wounded Bear]

25. LOL!!! nt

[niyad]

2. They are not lurking. They are loudly and proudly in plain, arrogant view.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. And fund-raising on it

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Damn - took the words right outta my mouth!

Saw the OP title and was like "They're not lurking. They are loudly proclaiming their intent to overthrow the government (while they continue to serve in it )!

[Maine Abu El Banat]

3. There is no justice

Fuck this unequal under the law country.

[mgardener]

4. Elise Stefanik R-NY 21

Picture should be there too!

[rubbersole]

5. Don't forget Rick Scott and l'il Marco. Lindsay and Rand don't hide their love of Mother Russia.

Just for the sake of being thorough - all the repubs that didn't vote to certify the last election.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. and the group that went to Russia on July 4...

[yellowdogintexas]

9. If only that would make voters turn against Rep Granger!!

She is my Congressperson and she has two voting methods:

No and Didn't vote.

I would be willing to bet a steak dinner that the majority of TX-12 voters have no clue that she was on that flight with all those Senators. She was the only woman and only House member.

She has an opponent, who does not have good exposure now but he is laying ground for a run when (if)she retires or dies. It may take 2 or 3 cycles, since she will be carried out of the House on a stretcher before she will retire.

Her latest stunt was voting No on a bill she helped craft. When asked why, she had no answer which is par for the course.

[Lonestarblue]

13. I feel for you, yellowdog. My representative is Roger Williams.

I think he spends more time running his car dealerships than in the House. And Democrats have no chance of defeating him in our gerrymandered district. Even if he finally retires, or dies, someone just as bad will replace him because Texas Republicans now recruit only the most extremist right-wing candidates they can find.

[summer_in_TX]

28. Ugh. I've had the unestimable Roger Williams for the last decade.

But now, oh joy, I've been redistricted into Chip Roy's congressional district starting next year. At least Williams wasn't mean, even if his policies were.

[Evolve Dammit]

24. It was barely noticed in MSM and nobody cares about much. That's why we had a coup that lots of

folks are OK with. Not lookin' good for the home team..

[BOSSHOG]

27. Marshall and laturner

From Kansas. I proudly stand and nominate those two treasonous bastards to the list of treasonous bastards.

[AllaN01Bear]

6. all levels of society and gvt.

[czarjak]

10. Don't forget Jodey Arrington. He's as bigga one. Ask him!

[brooklynite]

11. Prove it

Not being facetious. None of these people have been convicted of insurrection. Our legal system is not built on "we know they did it" assertions.

[mitch96]

16. Also as Rachel pointed out it is very hard to get a conviction in a sedition case...

I would love it to come to fruition but for now it is just "wish casting"
as the weather peeps say.

[rubbersole]

17. Dems being fair and technically correct have helped these nazis...

turn elections into culture war referendums. I'm very guilty of ignoring the effectiveness of avoiding policy issues in lieu of manufactured fear issues. CRT? WTF? Never taught in secondary schools.

[FoxNewsSucks]

18. Right. We should sit back quietly and just watch.

I'm sure there's a laptop or email somewhere that we should be worried about instead of these apparent traitors.

[Midnight Writer]

22. Our legal system isn't, but our political system is.

Folks don't vote on a legal level of proof.

[brooklynite]

23. True, but our political system requires a 2/3 vote of the House or Senate...

A meme isn't going to get you the votes you need.

[summer_in_TX]

29. Absolutely.

Hope a number of them lose their seats, and that the investigation into J6 sniffs out any conspiracy in which they may have participated. (BoBo!)

Those who participated should be charged and hauled off to jail.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

33. For guidance, see ppg 29 - 39 (32 - 42 of the pdf) of this judgment ...

(Sorry, can't copy and paste the relevant parts).

The judge lays out what is an insurrection and what it means to be engaged in an insurrection.

[mountain grammy]

14. Meantime the local Denver news station

didn't invite Boebert and Frisch to debate because Boebert is a "sure win" in her district...

[FoxNewsSucks]

20. Boobert's campaign probably asked them not to have a debate

because even though she'll win via the rigged district, she would look like the total fool that she is.

[Joinfortmill]

15. Yup, their comeuppance is coming.

[Warpy]

19. Lurking? Their treason is out in the open and they're proud uvvit

but until and unless they're charged, tried and convicted of insurrection, they'll be able to stay where they are.

Well, unless the voters catch a clue, but don't bet the rent on that.

[ancianita]

[Kid Berwyn]

26. Bunch o' Traitors on the Supreme Court, too.

Many of the Replacements are worse.

[Cha]

30. Sure as HELL are.. who's that

first one? Runner Hawley

[Jack the Greater]

31. What exactly makes them traitors?

They may be despicable human beings, but that does not rise to treason.

[Jack the Greater]

32. United States Constitution. Article III, Section 3 clearly defines treason:

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.
