A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has put on hold a Nashville judge’s ruling that Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett and State Election Coordinator Mark Goins ran afoul of federal law by not informing thousands of convicted felons that they may still be eligible to vote. The 2020 lawsuit was brought by the Tennessee chapter of the NAACP, the Campaign Legal Center, Brave Hearts and the Nashville-based Baker Donelson law firm. The three-judge panel said it would not be heard at the appellate level before the election. https://bit.ly/3XLU9Tm

As you know now, the media (not fox) is exposing 2025 and revealing the Fascist Dictatorship plan for America under Trump and tha neo-Nazi GOP. In 2021, I was in Budapest, Hungry where l saw and heard from individuals that were there on pay from GOP underground activists such as the Heirtage Foundation and The Federalist Society. Observations of how to destroy a Constitutional Democracy and replace with a Dictatorship was/is the ongoing effort with help from Viktor Orban and Vladimir Putin, both close friends to Trump. This is destruction and replacement in plain sight. For our Forefathers who built it, and for future generations, save the United States of America by defeating Trump and Project 2025.
SCOTUS is doing their best to pave the road for Project 2025 and the destruction of Democracy...WAKE UP! VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot in EACH and EVERY election moving forward until this court is reshaped to represent the people and not corporations. VOTE BLUE!

A solution to this madness would be to have the Federal Government conduct Federal Elections pursuant to a uniform standard of verifying eligibility, similar to how the Social Security Administration (SSA) verifies eligibility for registration and benefits. As such, congress should pass a law mandating the the Social Security Administration to conduct voter eligibility for Federal elections. At that juncture, the States can take whatever action they deem necessary for individual State elections.

Not political at all just stating facts here: First, our Constitution, Fourteenth Amendment is very clear that: “anyone who ‘engaged in insurrection or rebellion’ after taking an oath of office to support the Constitution is forbidden from holding any public office.” Trump absolutely planned, organized, funded, incited and then defended those domestic terrorists who attacked our democracy and Capitol. I don’t understand how his followers can stand by the Second Amendment and ignore the Fourteenth. It’s an all or nothing thing. Second, our Supreme Court, has but one job, their ONLY job is to rule by protecting and upholding our constitution. This should be clear and straightforward.
The decision makes Maine the second state in two weeks to disqualify Trump’s candidacy due to the constitutional bar on officeholders who supported or “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.” Last week the Colorado Supreme Court barred Trump from the state’s Republican primary ballot under a similar interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

Finally, we are hearing about how Authoritarian Leaders look upon democracy and free-speech. Apparently, the Trump campaign and the Republican Party feel that lies, disinformation, fraud, slander, libel, false-claims, & false-advertising are all protected free-speech. PLEASE NOTE: Donald J. Trump is not defending/proving his 'Stop-the-Steal' lies. He is arguing that he has the right to lie to me, to you, to your Children/Grandchildren, and to his fellow Americans about Election Fraud & Stop-the-Steal, and that he cannot be held accountable for lying to us. I wonder how January 06 Insurgents who are doing jail time feel, knowing that Trump has mislead them about 2020 Election Fraud and Stop-the-Steal, while letting them take-the-fall in jail because they believed Donald J. Trump's lies??? — We have laws which PROHIBIT fraud, slander, libel, false-claims, and false-advertising too. Con-Men usually end up in jail. ... Ask Fox News Channel about their $787 MILLION settlement with Dominion, when Dominion challenged FNC reports of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud ... Bernie Madoff died in prison after lying to investors & defrauding them out of $18 Billion. ... The leaders of the Genesis II Church are behind bars because they sold 'Miracle Mineral Solution' (containing Bleach) to their congregation, lying to them as they claimed efficacy in treating COVID-19, Alzheimers, Autism, AIDS/HIV, etc. -- Then again, there is always God's Commandment: Thou Shall Not Bear False Witness ** SO, what's it going to be? Are Con-Men free to lie, to mislead, to injure our fellow Citizens, & to harm our great Nation? Who needs rule-of-law, when you have caveat emptor?
When a lawyer in the USA can argue that intentional lying is just free speech, it’s obvious we need legal reform. Any lawyer who would bring such a frivolous action should be either sanctioned, fined, or disbarred. “Donald Trump’s lawyer argued Thursday the former president can’t be prosecuted Georgia for trying to steal the 2020 election because his alleged conduct was political speech that must be protected under the First Amendment − even speech that was lies. Prosecutors argued Trump’s statements contributed to a wide-ranging conspiracy of making false statements to government officials, submitting false and forged documents and impersonating public officials. Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, to "find" the votes he would need to carry the Peach State. “It’s not just that he lied over and over and over again,” said prosecutor Donald Wakeford. “It’s that each of those was employed as part of criminal activity with criminal intentions.” U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has already rejected Trump’s argument that his statements are protected by the First Amendment, in a federal case with similar charges of election interference. Wakeford directed McAfee to her reasoning for a detailed explanation for why Trump is wrong.” #legalreform #nooneisabovethelaw #justice #commonsense #accountability #stoptheinsanity

The Colorado Supreme Court didn't ban Trump from the presidency: 1) The decision only pertains to Colorado's Republican primary election in March. 2) The Colorado GOP party can reject the state-run primary and just run a caucus, like Iowa does. 3) The Colorado Supreme Court made it so that If Trump appeals the decision and seeks Supreme Court review, then he will appear on the Republican primary election ballots. This means, as it stands now, it will have effectively no impact on his candidacy for President. I read all 213 pages of the Colorado Supreme Court decision, and here is what actually happened and what it means for the country. I also breakdown how the Colorado Supreme Court made its decision, if it was politically motivated, should courts be able to determine elections, and what the "win at all costs" mentality towards our elections means for our democracy. https://lnkd.in/e83rY_iz

BREAKING: SCOTUS Largely Rejects GOP’s Request To Reinstate Parts of Arizona Voter Suppression Law. You know we never had these kinds of problems until Donald Trump entered the scene. VOTE BLUE ACROSS THE BOARD OUR FREEDOM DEPENDS ON IT. We have had early mail-in voting since the 90's, put in pace by Republicans. Much used and loved by all most residents. UNTIL the orange clown lost. Early voting and mail-in voting is not why Republicans are losing SOME races (many still win). The problem is candidate QUALITY.

If the legal profession can disbar their fellow lawyers when they clearly do illegal things, why can’t politicians also prevent their lawbreakers from continuing to work in their professions?! This same standard should definitely apply to Trump (and many other politicians although none quite as egregious in their illegal activities as our former president). It is even spelled out in the 14th amendment to our constitution, if only SCOTUS would use common sense in interpreting the law. “Rudy Giuliani, who once served as New York City’s mayor and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, has been disbarred “effective immediately” for his efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election, a state appeals court ruled Tuesday. A panel of judges in New York’s Appellate Division, First Department wrote that Giuliani “flagrantly misused” his position as an attorney for former President Trump and his campaign to make “intentionally” false statements to courts, lawmakers and the public. “In so doing, respondent not only deliberately violated some of the most fundamental tenets of the legal profession, but he also actively contributed to the national strife that has followed the 2020 Presidential election, for which he is entirely unrepentant,” it says.” #nooneisabovethelaw #justice #accountabilty #stoptheinsanity #voteoutMAGARepublicans #ethics #commonsense #leadership #integrity
