Tired of hearing let the voters decide

[Smackdown2019]

When I hear or read that the voters should decide, they are gambling MY rights away when there is a clear law forcing the system to prevent those who violate their oath of office or was found "in court of law" to be an Insurrectist.

If they took arms or support against the United States, then they should never have any doings with the United States, that should include pensions.

14th amendment is quite clear, its for preservation of the United States from those who tried to hurt or Nation.

So next time you hear someone says they should let the voters decide, replied back, they tried to take your vote away on Jan 6 and they lost they rights after that.

1. Enforcement of a law is never up for a vote.

Should the people in your town hold a vote to decide whether the law should be enforced against this individual or that?

Of course not. The law's the law, and the courts are where questions about it are settled.

8. This right here.

Rule of law was set up to protect us from both the whims of leaders AND the whims of the crowd. The latter is why we're not a "direct democracy" that votes on everything every day, but rather a "representative democracy" that is supposed to respect said rule of law.

2. "Voters decide" is just as weakly intended as "we report, you decide"

We go to court with the law we have, not with the law the next election imposes.

[SilverDawg]

3. Well I would

Say the voters DID decide and the loser sought to deny the will of the voters by violently disrupting a Constitutional process. If we are indeed a nation of laws, it’s now time for a jury to decide.

4. We know how Trump treated the voters

He tried to overturn the election he lost by lying. It got him disqualified from holding office again. That should be the end of the story.

[Beartracks]

9. Right??

Same as when the Republicans stole President Obama's supreme Court nomination with that same excuse. The voters HAD ALREADY DECIDED they wanted Obama as President, fulfilling those duties for the full length of his term.

5. We already did. That's why he tried a coup.

For fucks sake. Keep up media. Why in the hell do you think we are here? Do they think it would be okay for a Dem to have done what that Orange sub human did and face zero consequences.

15. They're on his side

He makes them money

[KS Toronado]

6. Тяцмp wanted his MAGA rioters to decide, not the ballot box.

[Bev54]

7. The voters already decided in 2020 and he committed his crimes trying to overturn

the decision of the voters. So he should just be allowed to repeat his crime, that is ridiculous.

[TNNurse]

10. Oh, I think the "voters" who were eligible

when the 14th amendment was added already decided. They put it in the Constitution.

[Wonder Why]

11. oh, stop whining and let the voters decide if it's too much!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. tRump wouldn't let voters decide in 2020. He burned his last chance Jan 6 2021. . . . nt

[GoodRaisin]

13. It's a Republican talking point.

Ignore the obvious. Let partisan assholes decide if he did what we all saw him do.

[AncientOfDays]

14. In the criminal justice system ...

... 12 voters decide.

[lastlib]

16. Yeah! WTF is wrong with FOLLOWING the friggin' LAW??

Should we "let the voters decide" if a 21-year-old should be president? Should we "let the voters decide" if a Russian should be president? (wait, they did that in 2016....)
Answer: NO. The Constitutional command is UNAMBIGUOUS, so there is NOTHING for voters to decide. Insurrectionists are NOT qualified for any office under the United States.

[kacekwl]

17. As long as we

Let the Electoral college decide letting the people decide is moot.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Yep. Seems like an excuse by the criminal justice system to avoid dealing with a celebrity criminal.

One who is powerful.

[Polybius]

19. What about abortion rights?

The referendums on choice all passed. Voters all decided it.

[Elessar Zappa]

22. Abortion shouldn't ever have to be put to a common vote.

It’s a right that voters should have no right to take away. It’s only because of the shitty SC decision that we’re having to put it up to a vote. But it’s not right.

[Wounded Bear]

20. Would be less hypocritical if they weren't simultaneously suppressing voting rights...

but, yeah, how about we "let the justice system decide" regarding all of the indictments against?

[ChoppinBroccoli]

21. The Voters ALREADY Decided They Didn't Want Trump TWICE, Yet Here We Are

Like a bad case of herpes, he just keeps flaring up.

[Takket]

23. the voters did decide. in 2020. the possibility any American might run for president does not entitle them to lifelong

immunity from prosecution. otherwise every single murderer could just run for office and say "let the voters decide"

[D23MIURG23]

24. They'll keep saying that until shithead loses to Biden again.

Then it'll be their "1st amendment right" to steal the election and incite rebellion again.

We need harsher penalties for treason.
