Constitutional Originalists Advocate Barring Trump From Election

Two very conservative constitutional scholars have submitted an article that will be published in the prestigious, University of Pennsylvania Law Journal. They argue that Trump is already legally disqualified from holding office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment due to aiding and abetting an insurrection. Authors William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen are “originalists” and members of the conservative Federalist Society, as are two-thirds of the Supreme Court, including recent Trump appointees. The term “Originalist” means they believe in a strict interpretation of the Constitution as the Framers intended.

Conservative lawyers argue Trump is legally disqualified from holding office

Please forgive me for sharing a video from MSNBC. However, you can consider it intelligence information, because it shows what the plan of attack by the Democrats will be, to bar Trump from being a candidate. If this succeeds in only 1-2 key battleground states, it could become impossible for Trump to win the general election.

No conviction by trial is necessary. The appointed election officials in each state are authorized to decide who is qualified to be a candidate. The authors urge all officials and courts to uphold the Constitution in this matter. Of course, this would be challenged in court and probably go to the Supreme Court. In regard to this issue, Trump does not have a very good record of success in court. It appears that a couple of Congressmen and Senators could potentially be removed from office for the same reason.

Gavin Newsom already tried to bar Trump from the primary ballot in 2020 but was overruled by a court. This effort, though, will likely be much better received by the courts.

Of course, the idea of banning Trump from the ballot will greatly appeal to Democrats and Progressives. I expect a large movement of blue states seeking to ban Trump as a candidate for the presidency. If a precedent is created in court then probably many if not all of the Red states will end up going along with it, if for no other reason than a lawsuit is filed to compel them to comply and ban Trump as a candidate.

Six southern states also have there own state laws against insurrectionists holding office that may be used to assists those trying to ban Trump from the ballot in those very critical states, which might otherwise be considered solidly pro-Trump.

A federal court already ordered a county commissioner in New Mexico, Couy Griffin, to be removed from office and banned from future office, due to his participation in the J6 insurrection, found to be a violation of the 14th Amendment.

Will Hurd: Trump Is Running To Stay Out Of Prison

Presidential candidate Will Hurd said in Iowa that Trump is not running to make America great again, but to stay out of prison. One important point to keep in mind is that state crimes cannot be pardoned by the president.

Trump will be prosecuted in at least two state courts. In New York, he is charged with paying hush money to a porno star. Also, he is expected to be indicted any day now in state court in Georgia for racketeering in regard to his attempt to overturn the election.

It seems doubtful he would be sentenced to a prison sentence for paying off the porno queen. However, the racketeering charge is much more serious. If he is convicted before the election on racketeering, he stands a good chance of already being put in prison before election day.

The elected president cannot pardon him for a state crime. That also means, even if Trump is elected, he cannot pardon himself for a state crime. Trump could be the first president to serve out his term as president in Georgia state prison.

On the other hand, a sitting president cannot be prosecuted by a state court. So, he must try to delay the state trial until after the election. If he can do that, would expect that any state trial would be halted until he leaves office.

InfoWars’ Owen Shroyer Turns Prosecution Witness In J6 Investigation

Johnathan Owen Shroyer, a show host for Alex-Jones has turned witness for the prosecution in the Jan. 6 insurrection investigation. This was reported on several Left-leaning news outlets. Some people doubt and/or ignore anything that appears in media outlets with a left-wing bias. So, I downloaded it myself from the federal website, Public Access to Court Records System (PACER) and re-posted it here. Also, I have posted the complaint against Shroyer and the “statement of offense”.

Other defendants have been sentenced to more than four years in prison just for entering the restricted area and creating a disturbance. Owen Shroyer was already convicted a couple of years earlier for disrupting a congressional committee hearing and he was still on probation. He was probably looking at much more serious charges than the average person who trespassed in the Capitol building. That and his prior conviction would undoubtedly make his sentence much longer if he were convicted in a trial. Federal law does not provide for greatly reduced sentences for “good behavior”. If you receive a sentence of ten or fifteen years, you will be in prison for close to that amount of time.

Owen Shroyer is certainly one of a considerable number of persons who will plead guilty and thereby agree to be a witness against others in the attack on the Capitol building and Congress on that day, including Trump. Federal prosecutors have tremendous power that they can use to build up their cases. The ultimate target is, of course, Trump.

Shroyer Plea Agreement

Shroyer gave up the protection of the Firth Amendment when he accepted the plea agreement. He can not refuse to answer questions under oath, if he does refuse or lies, I believe his original charges can be reinstated.

Your client understands that the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States protects your client from the use of self-incriminating statements in a criminal prosecution. By entering a plea of guilty, your client knowingly and voluntarily waives or gives up your client’s right against self-incrimination.

Complaint Against Shroyer

The charges against Shroyer were the following:

18 U.S.C. § 1752(a)(1) and (2) – Knowingly Entering or Remaining in any Restricted Building or Grounds Without Lawful Authority,
40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(D) and (E) – Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct on Capitol Grounds.

Mentioned in the complaint, Shroyer had plead guilty to a similar crime almost exactly one year earlier and was put on probation by a superior court in D.C. As part of his probation agreement he promised to create a disturbance on the Capitol grounds again. His probation had not been completed when he committed a much worse crime at the J6 event. That is like just daring his judge for the J6 crime to let the hammer down on you.

On January 17, 2020, JONATHON OWEN SHROYER (“SHROYER”) was charged by an Information in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, Case No. 2020 CMD 000820, with a violation of (1) 10 D.C. Code Section 503.16(b)(4) (2001 ed.), Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct on United States Capitol Grounds, and (2) 10 D.C. Code Section 503.16(b)(7) (2001 ed.), Obstructing and Impeding Passage on United States Capitol Grounds, based on SHROYER’s disruption of a House Judiciary Committee meeting on December 9, 2019. During the incident, SHROYER, who was seated in the audience observing the hearing in the committee room, jumped up from his seat and shouted in a loud manner while the Judicial Committee was in session. The disruption occurred while the Chairman of the committee was speaking and caused the Chairman to hit the gavel and request that order be restored. SHROYER was removed from the room and placed under arrest.

Shroyer Statement of Offense

The statement of office describes the situation and crimes that the plea covers.

In this statement, Shroyer is quoted on January 5th as calling on people to fight, calling for a revolution and declaring they the have to stop the (constitutional) election certification.

11. Prior to January 6, 2021, the defendant traveled from his home in Austin, Texas, with his employer, InfoWars, to Washington, D.C. to attend the Stop the Steal rally and surrounding events. On January 5, 2021, the defendant addressed a camera and crowd at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C.: “Americans are ready to fight. We’re not exactly sure what that’s going to look like perhaps in a couple of weeks if we can’t stop this certification of the fraudulent election of Joe Biden.” He added, “We are the new revolution! We are going to restore and we are going to save the republic!” That day, the defendant also called into a live broadcast on the “InfoWars,” stating “What I’m afraid of is if we do not get this false certification of Biden stopped this week, I’m afraid of what this means for the rest of the month, I’m afraid of what this is gonna mean to these Trump supporters, and I’m afraid about what this is going to mean about January 21st … Everybody knows this election was stolen … Are we just going to sit here and become activists for four years or are we going to actually do something about this, whatever that cause or course of cause may be?”

At another time, Shroyer actually calls for the “death to the tyrants”. This can be understood to be a call for the murder of congressmen and also maybe vice-president, Mike Pence, or anyone who stands in their way. After broadcasting such garbage in public, you cannot just claim you really did not mean it and take it back a few days later when the FBI shows up at your door. Freedom of speech does not give you the right to incite the murder of congressmen and then help lead the storming of the Capitol building by the angry mob that you helped incite.

In 1776, the American patriots sent a loud message to the entire world: Tyranny will not exist in the West. And so now the Democrats are posing as communists, but we know what they really are: they’re just tyrants, they’re tyrants. And so today, on January 6, we declare death to tyranny! Death to tyrants! Death to tyrants! Death to tyrants!

Why Does Kanye ‘Ye’ West Admire Hitler?

Kanye West (or “Ye”) appears to have been influenced by the Black racial nationalist movement, which has a long history of antisemitism. Leaders of this movement such as Louis Farrakhan and Marcus Garvey have in the past also expressed admiration of Hitler, Nazism, the KKK and fascism, in general. Black nationalist religions typically feature the concept that blacks are the real Jews and those people who historically have called themselves Jews are evil impostors, “Khazars” they often call them.

There is a long history of black racial nationalists cooperating with white racial nationalists. Back in the 1910’s or ’20’s an early black nationalist, Marcus Garvey, wrote that blacks should emulate the KKK, because that was the source of America’s power. Having started his movement before Mussolini, Garvey also said that his movement was the first fascist movement.

Trump has other black racial nationalists in his camp, as well. See also, this post below.

Black Hebrew Israelites Bait Young Jewish Man

Black Hebrew Israelism started around the time of the Civil war in Kansas when the slaves were freed. Some saw themselves in the Bible as the Hebrew Israelites who were freed from “Babylon”. There are several other black, racial-nationalist cult movements in the US, which have similar theologies.

Louis Farrakhan Says Hitler Was A Great Man


See on Bitchute

Like Kanye West, Louis Farrakhan praised Adolf Hitler and saw some good in him. Kanye says he admires Louis Farrakhan, who is the head of the Nation of Islam. The NOI is not Islam at all, but a black-identity cult religion. Farrakhan has been called the black Hitler.

Neo-Nazi George Lincoln Rockwell Attends Nation of Islam Meeting

Founder of the American Nazi Party, George Lincoln Rockwell addressed the Nation of Islam in 1961 He was assassinated not long after this event, probably due to this cooperation with black racial nationalists.

Tom Metzger collaborated with the Black Panthers.

In this video Tom Metzger includes a quick review of the history of cooperation between white racial nationalist and black racial nationalists. There is a desire for separation of the races on both sides.

Conclusion

Whether they believe in his genocide of Jews or not, some people admire Hitler for the power that he achieved over others and want to emulate him. This is apparently why Kanye West sees some good in Hitler.

It has been reported by several people close to him that Trump also admires Hitler in a like manner. This can explain why Trump associates with others with similar views, like Hitler-apologist, Kanye West and the neo-Nazi, Nick Fuentes, not to mention the black-racial-identity cultist, Michael the Black Man.

Even though Trump is not genocidal against Jews and has a Jewish son-in-law, he has a fascist mentality and seems to admire fascists, neo-Nazis and totalitarians, in general, such as Putin and Kim Jong-Un, the dictator of North Korea.

How Can Trump And MAGA Movement Be ‘Fascist’?

A Facebook user asked me, as below, how I define Trump / MAGA fascism, because people use such terms to label politicians and politicians that they do not like. I was a Trump voter both 2016 and 2020 primary and general elections. I never have liked him as a person, but I voted for him because I supported a secure border. Others activists said that I had to vote for him, because he is the only candidate saying he would secure the border, so I did. I did appreciate a couple of things that he did with regards to securing the border and appointment of judges. However, I cannot support him any longer, no matter who his opponent is, because I believe he has shown himself to be a serious risk for the American constitutional republican system. I believe in the principles of the Founders, not absolutely in any individual politician.

Jerry W Price (Facebook) Please define what you mean by MAGA Fascism. Fascism has become a catch-all word for people having ideas or policies you do not like. {Fascism, Socialism, Naziism, and Communism all call for total government and total control of the economy.}

I began to consider Trump literally fascist, due to his response after the 2020 election and his inspiration of the attack on Congress on January 6, 2021. I believe he fits the definition of a “fascist” as highlighted below in the way that he tries to autocratically control the Republican party absolutely and punish those who just have different opinions. He would extend his control to the entire government if given the chance. If he were to be able to gain sufficient control, I believe he would become a true, fascist, ultra nationalistic ruler.

His movement is fascist, because the ultra nationalistic hardcore at least follows him without any question or criticism. I think most of his followers are just following him blindly and do not realize the implications of it.

Definition of Fascism

Trump fits the definition of fascism. as in section 2b below in his attempt to control the Republican party and vindictively punish any candidate, who criticizes him or his policies.

fas·cism:

  1 The principles of the Fascisti; also : the movement or governmental regime embodying their principles   

2a: any program for setting up a centralized autocratic national regime with severely nationalistic policies, exercising regimentation of industry, commerce, and finance, rigid censorship, and forcible suppression of opposition  

2b: any tendency toward or actual exercise of severe autocratic or dictatorial control (as over others within an organization)

Merriam-Webster. Webster’s Third New International Dictionary Unabridged, Kindle Edition.

Definition of Autocrat

Trump has largely been successful in his attempt to rule the Republican party with absolute power as in section 1:b below.

au·to·crat: 
1a: a monarch ruling with unlimited authority  1b: a governor with absolute power    

2: one who rules with undisputed sway in any relationship
