Michael Moore Instagram – The other day on my podcast I read aloud 121 names of members of Congress, all of them Republicans. They each share two things:
1. On January 6, 2021, they all voted to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election, effectively participating in an attempt to stage a coup, overthrow the U.S. government, prohibit Joe Biden from entering the White House & reinstall Donald J. Trump as an unelected president of the United States; and
2. On November 8, 2022, their actions to stage this coup & commit sedition were rewarded when the voters in their mostly gerrymandered districts returned them to a new term in Congress that begins two weeks from this Tuesday. And now, on January 3, 2023, all 121 of them will each put their hand on a Bible and, lying through their teeth (perfectly fixed & whitened, thanks to their free socialist Congressional health care), will “swear to protect & defend the Constitution of the U.S. against all enemies, foreign & domestic.”
Does this strike anyone as a bit odd? Doesn’t it seem like if you tried to overthrow the gov’t you should no longer be allowed to be a part of it? That if you provided aid & comfort to those who ransacked Nancy Pelosi’s office and spray-painted “C**T” on her wall, or if you, as a member of Congress, stood and voted for sedition through legislative action (either to secede from the Union or to prevent an elected President from taking office), you are Constitutionally prohibited from taking your seat on January 3, 2023?
Yes, that is exactly what the 14th Amendment of the Constitution says, ratified by both Houses of Congress AND three-quarters of all the states in the summer of 1868.
14TH AMENDMENT
Section 3: Disqualification from Holding Office
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress who, having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress to support the Constitution, shall have [then] engaged in insurrection or rebellion or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof…”
There are few clauses in our Constitution, though written & amended through more than two centuries, that could not be more clear and more relevant to the threat we face today…
