Far-right lawmakers to try to hold own special session, despite law, Constitution (Idaho)

BOISE — Under the Idaho Constitution, only the governor can call a special session of the Legislature — but the Idaho Freedom Foundation and an unregistered political action committee are calling one for Tuesday morning aimed at overturning the governor’s executive orders on the coronavirus pandemic, and roughly a dozen far-right House Republicans reportedly plan to participate.

Ammon Bundy says a group of his armed supporters will provide “crowd control” for the event, set to kick off at 9 a.m. at the state Capitol.

“We’re going to make sure that legislators don’t have any trouble and everybody is good and peaceful,” he said, adding that Idaho State Police likely will be there as well. Asked why additional security is needed if ISP will be present, he said, “What if they put their knee on someone’s neck? Who’s going to stop them?”

ISP Chief Kedrick Wills didn’t respond to a request for comment on Monday.

whatever they pass out as it will be a violation of said Constitution to allow anything they do with this unconstitutional session.

6. "flout", not "flaunt"

5. "flaunt" means to show off. I think you want "flout" which means to disregard. . . . nt

2. I wish all of these sick fuckers could be quarantined permanently.

They hate this country and their actions prove it everyday.

I wish they had their guns and bibles shoved so far up their asses

they could never take a dump again.

4. Unfortunately their heads would be in the way of doing that.

8. Ammon Bundy wants to keep everything "good and peaceful"

By threatening armed violence. Pretzel logic.

11. Remember when people started sending the Bundy's rubber dicks...

when they were holed up in the BLM office? They got all pissed off, we should do it again.

12. in this time of the coronavirus, future historians will refer to this era as...

the great republican culling.

13. There is a cancer growing in Idaho.

These Freedumb jackasses are extremists and Bundy is looking for martyrdom. Even though the Gov. is a Republican he is being more or less responsible when it comes to fighting the virus. It’s a shame my state as become a home for every Tom, Dick, and Mary with a confederate flag on their pickup.
