If you don’t remember, Trump actually tried to sign the insurrection act several months ago, but Esper talked him out of it.
I thought, at the time, that this was a positive because public opinion was turning away from BLM, there would be no kent-state-esq shooting, and people would overwhelmingly vote Trump to stop the riots.
Well people did overwhelmingly vote red, but because the left’s teeth weren’t kicked in when they tried their little rebellion, SCOTUS is using it as an excuse to not stop the steal.
So, officially, fuck Mark Esper. I’m glad he was fired.
No shit. A bunch a ball-less boomers and Gen-Xrs fucking it up. At least liberal Millennials aren't afraid to Boog.
Roberts is afraid of GEOTUS. He couldn't care less about riots.
And afraid of being exposed for the sick traitor he is. Riots is just something to say out loud.
Wait, hold on: was Trump prevented or convinced to not sign the Insurrection Act a few months ago?
I tried looking it up, and what I’ve found is just that ‘Trump wanted to use the insurrection act, but Esper publically disagreed with using the military’.
I haven’t found a source saying Trump actually signed it a few months ago, so I think he only threatened to use it, and Esper cut the rug out from under him.
Either way, Esper was an obstacle, the act wasn’t used, and now SCOTUS is ‘allegedly’ using it as an excuse not to rule along with the constitution.
I wanted to double check that he was not PREVENTED from using it (keyword).
Ah, I see. So I looked it up more and nothing I found suggested he was prevented from doing it. He was totally in the legal right to do it, there were certain things he has to do.
“In order to invoke the Insurrection Act, the president “must first issue a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse within a limited time, 10 U.S.C. § 334.4. If the situation does not resolve itself, the President may issue an executive order to send in troops,””
Also: “A really important limitation in the event that there is martial law is that it’s highly unlikely to be tolerated in a situation where our civilian institutions are working,” Banks noted. “Martial law requires a complete meltdown. It requires the inability of our civilian institutions to manage government. It’s hard to imagine that.”
‘Hard to imagine that’ was a statement from before the election, where that exact thing happened.
So no, I don’t think Trump was ‘prevented’ from doing it
Kent state what a good thing- put the fear of the bullet in the minds of the faggot hippies. “Are you sure you wanna hold your campus hostage today, boomer?”
I'm not at all convinced about these rumors concerning SCOTUS. No hard sources, no evidence at all, just people "saying so". The Texas case from the start was a novel and unprecedented tactic, and it's not that surprising that it was turned down. The argument was that other states had no standing because there was no actual injury yet, and that is true. Electors had not been sent and no real outcome existed except according to MSM, which doesn't matter a hill of beans.
Texas also was not what the Trump team was even working on. I don't at all trust Roberts, but I don't think the other 5 would hesitate to hear a solid case, and I think they will soon.
Well, they did officially reject two of Sidney Powell’s suits with no reason given, and the other two are being slow walked until after inauguration. Based on that, I totally believe the rumors, unsubstantiated though they might be
Well yes, but Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Texas, the groups in MI and WI, etc are all "extra", and no matter what they simply aren't as important as the actual Trump legal team's cases. Especially Sidney Powell, who is really barking up the criminal law tree and doesn't have much power to get anything done in civil court. But none of it is useless. A lot of information has been uncovered by these people and exposed to the public. They aren't just tossing things at the courts to see what sticks. It's purposeful.
At this point it is even questionable whether the SCOTUS is even needed for remedy. There is a clear, Constitutional path that doesn't depend on SCOTUS at all, and things seem to be aligning in that direction.
I suspect most of the 5 "conservatives" on the court don't want to muddle things with multiple cases and would rather stick to ruling on whatever Trump's team brings to them.
I 100% agree that nothing these patriots are doing is useless. They are gathering new evidence all the time.
I’m just of the opinion that the most important thing they’ve done is show the people that the courts are illegitimate, thus showing normies that extreme measures must be taken to safeguard the country.
I also don’t want to rely on congress and state legislators to not cuck out. I’m waiting for martial law, basically.
