Lawsuit Filed To Remove Scott Perry From The Ballot For Violating The 14th Amendment
Perry helped incite the January 6th insurrection, the lawsuit alleges
J.D. Wolf

..."A lawsuit has been filed to remove #Congressman Scott Perry, the former chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, from the ballot for violating the 14th #Amendment's #insurrection clause. The lawsuit alleges that Perry engaged in a conspiracy to incite a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. It was filed by a local Democratic activist and comes just weeks after Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained Perry's personal text messages in furtherance of his investigation into January 6, 2021.

This latest news comes amid a significant legal battle over the meaning of the 14th Amendment. The Colorado Supreme Court has already ruled that former President Donald Trump should be removed from the state's ballot, while other states like Michigan and Minnesota, have defined the confines of the 14th Amendment differently. One key issue that is distinct in Perry's case, however, is that Perry is not running for President. All of the courts that have decided the issue have assumed that members of Congress are subject to the insurrection clause. The key issue here will be whether the courts are the proper avenue to remove someone from the ballot for violating the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. "...

Proposed Espionage Act Reforms are Vital for Investigative Journalism

#Unconstitutional #prosecutions of #journalists and their sources under the #EspionageAct pose an #existential #threat to #pressfreedom in the #US. An #amendment to #reform the #100+ #year-old-law could finally change that.

Proposed Espionage Act reforms are vital for investigative journalism

Amendment would stop unconstitutional charges against journalists and whistleblowers without impacting real espionage cases

What did Confederates want to preserve?

A #Constitutional #Republic that #Lincoln ultimately destroyed.

If they wanted to “preserve” slavery (which was not unconstitutional and not illegal above or below the Mason Dixion Line), they could have simply accepted The Northern backed Lincoln endorsed #Corwin #Amendment which passed both houses of Congress with NO SOUTHERN VOTES if they ended “the secession crisis” and returned to the Union which would have granted the South free access to slavery in perpetuity.

Later in the war the same offer was made twice only if those times the South laid down arms and returned to the Union.

All three times the offers were refused making the ongoing #lie the South ”fought to keep people enslaved” revisionist poppycock, but said #revisionism and 160+ years of Northern falsehood has 95% of the nation's population convinced the South seceeded and suffered the worst war in American history so that a fraction of their upper class could retain something they were already eliminating through peacefull manumission.

The #Left doesn't care about your rights.

Boom! Joe Biden's #Government directly instructs #Twitter to violate Alex #Berenson's Civil Rights:

In a #WhiteHouse meeting in April 2021, four months before Twitter suspended my account, the company faced “one really tough question about why Alex Berenson hasn’t been kicked off from the platform,” a Twitter employee wrote.
.
The employee recounted the meeting discussion afterwards on Twitter’s internal Slack messaging system. The message, and others, make clear that top #federal officials targeted me specifically, potentially #violating my basic First #Amendment right to #free #speech.
.
The First Amendment does not apply to private companies like Twitter. But if the companies are acting on behalf of the federal government they can become “state actors” that must allow free speech and debate, just as the government does.

The White House privately demanded Twitter ban me months before the company did so

Federal officials targeted me specifically; when they met with Twitter in April 2021, "they really wanted to know about Alex Berenson"

A quotation by Jefferson, Thomas

Some men look at Constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, & deem them, like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. they ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well: I belonged to it, and labored with it. it deserved well of it’s country. it was very like the present, but without the experience of the present: and 40. years of experience in government is worth a century of book-reading: and this they would say themselves, were they to rise from the dead.

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) American political philosopher, polymath, statesman, US President (1801-09)

A quotation by Jefferson, Thomas

I am certainly not an advocate for frequent & untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because when once known, we accommodate ourselves to them, and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. but I know also that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times. we might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilised society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.
