State's Rights Seventeenth Amendment - Part 4
| |
By Devvy | |
On
February 13, 2021, the second obscene impeachment trial against
President-Elect (he has never conceded) Donald J. Trump was supposed
to open up with closing arguments and then a vote. It would be
another day of Kabuki performances by partisan buffoons who spent
four days strutting around the Senate Chambers with feathers puffed
and diarrhea flooding from their mouths.
In
the filthy, dirty world of politics Kabuki is to get maximum media
attention through theatrical antics. While it pained me greatly, I
watched a small amount because I couldn’t stand anymore than
that each day. Those House impeachment managers were the same bunch
of professional liars as the first round.
By
Thursday, Trump’s legal team finally put the screws to the
Democrats, proving without any doubt, Trump did not incite an
insurrection. On Friday & Saturday, defense counsel, Michael van
der Veen, obliterated them. Clearly
that “trial” was unconstitutional. The Constitution says
president. It does not say former president. The House impeachment
managers did their best to bring up past impeachments but all of them
skipped the clear and plain language of the Constitution, Art. II,
Sec. 4:
“The
President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United
States…” Didn’t
matter to these swamp scum GOP senators who voted that charade
“trial” was constitutional: Collins, Cassidy,
Murkowski, Romney, Sasse, and Toomey. All Trump haters so no
surprise. A
trial with no judge. Article I, Section 3, Clause 6: When the
President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall
preside.
In
the legal world, shall means you will. Chief Justice John Roberts
refused. No one knows why. My guess: Because Trump was cheated out
of a second term, he is no longer president. If Roberts had agreed,
then the language in the Constitution “The president…shall
be removed from office….” would apply to impeaching the
criminal impostor playing president, Cheater China Joe Biden.
Completely
ignoring the U.S. Constitution, 80-year old Sen. Patrick Leaky Leahy
[D] who has
been in Congress 54 years,
was chosen to preside. Let me see if I have this straight. Leaky
Leahy is a witness. He was in the capitol on Jan. 6th.
He’s a zealot partisan senator who is a juror during this
“trial”. Yes, all 100 senators were jurors deciding
guilty or not guilty. And, he’s also the judge. The person
presiding over an impeachment trial of a former president is the
judge, juror and a witness all rolled into one.
Elected
Democrats and their mouthpieces spent a considerable amount of time
on cable networks yelling the impeachment is to keep Trump from ever
holding federal office again. The goal from day one, not inciting an
insurrection.
Knowing
the Democrats had miserably failed in their bogus arguments, first
thing Saturday morning they pulled a fast one. Instead, King of the
Clowns, House impeachment manager, Jamie Raskin said, hold on a
minute. We need to call witnesses at the 11th
hour.
Why?
Because of some contemporaneous notes made by Rep. Jaime Herrera
Beutler [R-WA] stemming from a conversation she had with slimy House
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Those notes are about what Trump
allegedly said about rioters on Jan. 6th
and allegedly rebuffing calls for the National Guard. An
inconvenient fact: Trump offered 10,000 troops to DC on January 6 “Former
President Donald Trump offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops
in Washington D.C. prior to Jan. 6, the day of the Capitol building
breach, according to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. “Meadows
told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that
although Trump had been vocal about offering Capitol Police and
National Guard presence at the Capitol on multiple occasions last
month, his offer was rebuked “every time.” “We
also know that in January, but also throughout the summer, that the
president was very vocal in making sure that we had plenty of
National Guard, plenty of additional support because he supports our
rule of law and supports our law enforcement and offered additional
help,” Meadows told host Maria Bartiromo. “Even
in January, that was a given, as many as 10,000 National Guard troops
were told to be on the ready by the Secretary of Defense”
Meadows said. “That was a direct order from President Trump and
yet here is what we see … all kinds of blame going around but
yet not a whole lot of accountability.” With
good reason, Trump’s lead attorney, Michael van der Veen, went
ballistic in a somewhat controlled way. He correctly argued Trump
was on trial for “inciting an insurrection”, not
for hearsay after the incident.
He went on to lecture House impeachment managers that if witnesses
are now going to be allowed, he will have to depose them –
perhaps a hundred people. Yeah, and while he’s doing that the
American people just might learn Jan. 6th
was a well-planned operation. What
did Pelosi and McConnell know and when? The
FBI is still searching for whoever planted pipe bombs between 7:30 –
8:30 on Jan. 5th. Evidence

itself' could be targeted Capitol
Attack Was Planned Openly Online For Weeks—Police Still Weren’t
Ready BREAKING:
John Solomon says DC police keeping interviews with key capitol
security officials secret
I
hope every one of them sues the author of this piece as well as
Dailykos.com:
Evidence
shows Republican leaders directed occupation of Capitol, and provided
details for attack - “On Tuesday evening, Democratic Rep.
Mikie Sherrill indicated that some Republican legislators had been
directly involved in helping insurgents plan the Jan. 6 assault
on the Capitol.
“As
all the pieces begin to fall together, it’s becoming clearer
that Republican officials—from state and local party leaders to
members of Congress—were not just involved in encouraging the
insurrection through spreading lies about election fraud, but
assisted the coup plotters with information on how to best go about
causing harm. That includes how best to capture members of Congress
considered enemies of Donald Trump. “Evidence
is building up that Reps. Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, and Paul Gosar
were directly involved in planning events on Jan. 6. Others, like
Rep. Lauren Boebert, appear to have not just encouraged insurrection
actors in their assault but provided real-time updates
on the location of terrorist targets.” Okay,
Raskin, let’s depose those who wrote that Capitol Police intel
report as well as FBI agents. Here are the RINOs who voted to call
witnesses: Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Sasse, Graham. After
the vote one senator wanted to know, did they vote for one witness or
more? In Leahy’s own words caught on mic: This
is all f***ed up!
It was
then decided to take a quorum call so the ‘leadership’ of
both parties could decide. Drum roll, please. Democrats got a run
in their panty hose and, uh, maybe they’ll decide just to allow
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler’s notes be entered into the record
and move on to a vote. (Beutler, GOP, voted to impeach Trump.) When
the cattle call was complete, van der Veen stated Trump would agree
to allow Beutler’s notes be entered into the record. I
speculate the Democrats decided it wouldn’t be a good idea to
spend the next several weeks deposing witnesses and decided to end
that part of the farce. Liberal law professor Johnathan
Turley: “The Senate had reportedly decided against that
option but Raskin rose and, like a scene out of Perry Mason, claimed
that a new witness had emerged the night before: Rep. Jaime
Herrera Beutler, R-Wash. “Raskin
breathlessly described how the House just saw news reports that
Beutler had information on a phone call between Trump and House
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., during which Trump showed
support for the rioters. The problem is that the claim did not appear
to be true. Beutler’s account was public before the trial
began and the McCarthy call was known to the House for over four
weeks.” Jackass Raskin gleefully read her notes. Why
would Trump agree to the notes? His attorney stressed by agreeing to
submit them doesn’t mean there’s any truth to the
allegation and contends there wasn’t.
No
putting McCarthy on the stand under oath. McCarthy who threw Trump
under the bus: BETRAYAL:
Kevin McCarthy Throws President Trump Under the Bus - “The
president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack by mob
rioters,” McCarthy said about last week’s demonstration.
“What we saw last week was not the American way. Neither is the
continued rhetoric that Joe Biden is not the legitimate president,”
he added.” I
was then shocked to read: Kevin
McCarthy Meets with President Trump a Week after Throwing Him Under
the Bus and Blaming Him for US Capitol Riots - Their joint
statement was about working together to strengthen the GOP for the
next primaries. Yeah and the first one who should be primaried out
is McCarthy. Keep your enemies closer. Trump was also sending a
message, again: He does not support the newly formed Patriot Party
as it will siphon off critical votes in the primaries next year –
if that new party can even get on the ballot in states. In
any event, closing arguments began with professional liar Rep. Jamie
Raskin. I hit the mute button. Michael van der Veen pounded the
last nail in the Democrat’s coffin full of lies and hypocrisy.
Didn’t matter to every single Democrat senator or seven GOP
senators: Sasse, Romney, Cassidy, Burr, Murkowski, Collins &
Toomey. After Trump was found not guilty, dirty rat McConnell still
on the floor in the Senate kicked
Trump in the gut again:
“McConnell
did not hold back as he ripped Trump apart for a “disgraceful
dereliction of duty” and attempting to “overturn the
election.” He claimed that the protesters stormed the Capitol
because they had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful
man on earth,” and that Trump was “practically and
morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.” And,
THEY WANT HIM GONE! Republican Leader McConnell Hints That Trump Can
Still Be Charged in Criminal Justice System – “President
Trump is still liable for everything he did while in office as an
ordinary citizen. He didn't get away with anything. Yet. We have a
criminal justice system in this country. " Classic Pontus Pilate
move.” More
vomit from China Mitch: “McConnell also said that during
the riot, Trump “did not act swiftly. He did not do his job. He
didn’t take steps so federal law could be faithfully executed
and order restored.” “McConnell
said that the riots occurred because the rioters “had been fed
wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth. Because he was
angry he lost an election. Former President Trump’s actions
preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty. …
There is no question, none that President Trump is practically and
morally responsible for provoking the events of that day. No question
about it.” First
of all,
there is no “wild falsehoods” about the massive fraud
which denied Trump a second term.
Anyone from China Mitch to the braying Hollywood asses to uninformed
dullards across this country who continue to deny the election was
stolen are willfully
blind to the ocean of proven evidence. Second,
China Mitch: Storming the capitol was pre-planned. If you could get
your head out of rectal darkness and look at the time line, that
well-planned, well-timed incident could not be stopped by Trump since
he didn’t know what was going on until the situation exploded –
as planned.
Stop it, China Mitch? How was Trump supposed to do that? He left
after his speech. The capitol police moved barriers so in came
ANTIFA. I guess China Mitch missed
this short video of the capitol police OPENING THE DOORS AND
LETTING PROTESTERS INSIDE. One clearly says, “I disagree with
it but I respect what you’re trying to do.” Or
this video clip: “Capitol Hill police appears to be waving
in protesters to occupy the building” – He sure as Hell
is waving them in and some of them actually believed it was okay,
just follow the herd. The
plan worked. Instead of members of Congress challenging the
electoral college votes and stopping Biden from stealing the
election, gutless cowards like Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Sen. Ron
Johnson and others slapped 80 million voters in the face as well as
president of their own party. I
bring this up because all 100 senators are sitting in office under a
law that does not exist. Ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution was short two states. I proved it beyond
any legal threshold in a court of law. The first judge dismissed my
case without
looking at a single piece of evidence
obtained at the U.S. Archives in Washington, DC and from the
California State Archives.
This
“judge” was brought out of retirement to hear two cases
(while all other court rooms were overflowing), mine and a personal
injury case. Spit was exchanged between the judge and two attorneys
over in less than 10 minutes. Those two attorneys then left. That
huge empty court room was down to the “judge”, the clerk,
the two attorneys representing the State of Texas and me.
Arrogantly,
the “judge” said it all happened a long time ago so who
cares? That’s exactly what he said, case dismissed. He also
wanted sanctions against me by the state but the state declined. The
“judge” damn near crapped his pants, got up and left.
The Texas Appeals Court white washed it so I decided to skip the
Texas Supreme Court. No one wants to be standing two feet from a
hydrogen bomb. My
court filings are here. Pg 97 is the first so you work your way
up. Many
are not familiar with the Seventeenth Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution and why it’s so critical to get rid of it. When
the First Continental Congress was convened via a resolution of the
Congress of the Confederation, one
of the first issues discussed on May 29, 1787, was the balance of
power for a newly created federal government.
James
Madison wrote in The Federalist Papers #45: "The
Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State
legislatures."
John
Jay, co-author of The Federal Papers is quoted: "Jay then
informed Governor Clinton that, unlike the Senate, where the
two-thirds rule was in force for treaties and impeachment, the lower
house had nothing to do with treaties; it
represented the people whereas the Senate represented the states--for
the Federalists always a significant distinction." I
once read a comment below a news item regarding former senate
candidate, Joe Miller, [R-AK] after he came out supporting a repeal
of the Seventeenth Amendment. The useful fool who submitted the
comment said old Joe wouldn't have to run for office and worry about
getting beat. Miller's opponent and alleged eventual winner, RINO
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, opened
the pie hole in her face: "...was the first to criticize
Miller's comments, issuing a news release entitled “Joe Miller
reaching new extremes every day.” “We
have seen Joe Miller take some extraordinary positions in this
campaign, but I never imagined he would support disenfranchising
himself and every other Alaskan,” Murkowski said in a
statement. “Joe is no longer content with simply taking away
federal support for Alaskan families, now he wants to take away their
right to select our United States senators.” She’s
another blabbering bobble head in Congress. Yeah,
those who gave their lives and blood to create this republic reached
"new extremes" when they voted to create two separate
bodies for the U.S. Congress, one for the people and one for the
states. Think
Murkowski wants to give up her power as a U.S. Senator? When pig's
fly. That foolish hen votes for legislation that affects my life and
I can't
vote her out of office.
Another dangerous female, Sen. Olympia Snowe, RINO from Maine (now
retired), voted for the unconstitutional Obamacare declaring her
constituents wanted it! Well, I wasn’t her constituent and I
sure as hell don't want it. The vile, Charles Schumer, [D-NY] would
like to see the Second Amendment wiped off the books. I have no way
to send his "progressive" backside packing. The
U.S. Senate over the years has ratified treaties killing MILLIONS of
good paying jobs sending them overseas. This has had a direct impact
upon the states as far as growth, unemployment and so many problems,
it would take fifty columns to cover. All because of an amendment to
the U.S. Constitution that was not ratified by the necessary number
of states at the time - 36.
Article
V of the U.S. Constitution: The Congress, whenever two thirds of
both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this
Constitution…and
that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal
suffrage in the Senate.
In
1940, Alabama was only in session every four years.
No Action
taken at the time: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland,
Delaware. Georgia specifically based on an investigation ordered by
their governor at the time that the Seventeenth Amendment was not
legally adopted by Congress before it was sent to the states. Not
all states were in session at the time depriving
them of equal suffrage in the Senate.
However, as the movement to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment was
continuing to grow, an extraordinary thing happened:
On
April 11, 2002, the State of Alabama decided out of the clear blue to
ratify the Seventeenth Amendment - 89 years after the alleged
ratification. On July 1, 2010, 97 years after the alleged
ratification of that amendment, the State of Delaware ratified it.
On April 1, 2012, 99 years after the alleged ratification, the State
of Maryland voted to ratify the Seventeenth Amendment.
How
interesting that nearly 100 years after the alleged ratification of
the Seventeenth Amendment and after people like me have been pounding
on this issue for close to two decades, three states just up and
decided to vote on an old constitutional amendment. Why? Because
ratification was two states short. I know a former member of the
Maryland General Assembly, Don Dwyer, who told me he was completely
surprised one day while in session, out of the clear blue, they were
all to vote on ratifying that amendment. The shadow government’s
hand all over it. Only one problem: United
States Supreme Court - DILLON v. GLOSS, 256 U.S. 368 (1921) 256 U.S.
368 DILLON v. GLOSS, Deputy Collector. No. 251. Argued March 22,
1921. Decided May 16, 1921. "The
provisions of the act which the petitioner was charged with violating
and under which he was arrested (title 2, 3, 26) were by the terms of
the act (title 3, 21) to be in force from and after the date when the
Eighteenth Amendment should go into effect, and the latter by its own
terms was to go into effect one year after being ratified. Its
ratification, of which we take judicial notice, was consummated
January 16, 1919. That the Secretary of State did not proclaim its
ratification until January 29, 1919, is not material, for the date of
its consummation, and not that on which it is proclaimed, controls." Very
much the same as the Foster
v. Love
case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1997, 9 – 0: Federal
elections END ON election day.
Not three hours after midnight or six hours after midnight once
ballot dumps were finished or three days after midnight on election
day. Those votes by Alabama, Delaware and Maryland are meaningless,
but how many state legislators or Americans know that or even about
the Foster
v. Love
case? Think
the Arizona State Legislature would loved to have been able to recall
one of the biggest crooks and RINOs ever to serve in Congress, John
McCain? The bottom line is states that voted for ratification
foolishly voted to give up their rights and representation in
Washington, DC. It’s been a disaster ever since. The
criminal imposter in the WH is implementing the shadow government’s
plans for the final and complete destruction of this country in hyper
speed. Now many states are scrambling to fight back against the
tyranny coming out of the WH. I covered this in my last three
columns on state’s rights: nullification and Executive Orders.
Here
in Texas our AG filed a lawsuit over Biden’s EO to force states
to allow mentally ill “transgenders” to compete in
women’s sports. Feb. 3, 2021:
North Dakota Legislators Plan To Nullify Biden’s Executive
Orders At State Level – “Specifically, the proposed
HB1164, enumerates the following issues for nullification: Pandemics
or other health emergencies The
regulation of natural resources, including coal and oil The
regulation of the agriculture industry The
use of land The
regulation of the financial sector as it relates to environmental,
social, or governance standards The
regulation of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms “Additionally,
State Rep. Sebastian Ertelt (R), has introduced legislation that
would affect the same fate to unconstitutional legislation coming out
of the Federal Legislative Branch. Ertelt’s HB1282 would
create a “Committee on Neutralization of Federal Laws.
“South
Dakota has legislation similar North Dakota’s HB1164 targeting
Biden’s executive lawmaking. South Dakota’s HB1194 sets
up an executive board to review the constitutionality of all
presidential executive orders. It lists the six issues laid out in
the North Dakota legislation as well.” This
is what needs to get done in as many states as possible but it won’t
happen without patriots making the effort. See
sample letter here. Since
no court will touch the big lie – the Seventeenth Amendment was
not ratified by enough states – the only option left is an
amendment to repeal put forth from Congress. The 21st
Amendment repealed the 18th
which was prohibition. Enough people ignored it, toasted local
coppers, lots of money made bootlegging, paying no taxes. Congress
caved and repealed it.
That’s
what needs to happen with the 17th
and it can start with state legislatures hammering on their U.S.
House members and Senators to introduce an amendment. And, like
Prohibition, millions of patriots have to hammer on their Congress
critters. It’s too bad one state doesn’t just send two
new senators to DC and recall the current two. That
would make national headlines and bring this issue right to the
American people.
Of
course, that state would need their legislators to use the media to
explain why: You are already represented by the U.S. House. Explain
why the framers of the Constitution said senators should never be
voted into office. Explain how senators have destroyed economies
with their votes for “free trade” and so on. I’ve
been on this since 1993. The time is ripe for the states to really
stand up and fight back over that destructive amendment. As
I said, the movement to repeal the 17th
Amendment is bigger than Americans know. Now, we need to escalate
our efforts because the DemonRats in the Senate are hell bent on
destroying this republic with the help of their comrades in the
House.
