‘Paramilitary Ban’ Just Another Democrat Plot to Secure Monopoly of Violence

The issue as far as Raskin and Markey’s latest affront to liberty goes, is that nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government delegated authority to ban paramilitary activities. They are usurping power – or trying to. And though Raskin cites authority including the Supreme Court’s admission in Heller “that the Second Amendment ‘does not prevent the prohibition of private paramilitary organizations,’” it would be interesting to see how that would hold up against the more recent Bruen standard of the understanding at the time of the Founding. Especially noting historical examples like Allen, or more to the point, Capt. John Parker at Lexington Green… [More]

“I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for few public officials,” George Mason asked and answered. Curious, how public officials are bent on destroying that…

Why, Indeed?

Because he’s the legacy forwarding heir of a treasonous communist, of course…

Not that the statist apologists at USA Today (a Gannett Publication) will tell you that.

Do as I Say, Not as I Do

U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., was a key player behind ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s snap impeachment of President Donald Trump… Now Raskin is insisting that Joe Biden be considered exempt from even being investigated for impeachment… [More]

That second-generation communist subversive again…

I don’t suppose this could be a “Please don’t throw me in the briar patch” move? Maneuver the Republicans into achieving a Pyrrhic victory and doing the heavy lifting for the young radicals in the Democrat party to advance their power …?

Speaking of ‘Debunking’…

To debunk MAGA’s “insurrectionist” theory of the 2nd Amendment, just read the Constitution. Everywhere it rejects insurrection, including in the 14th Amendment which bans insurrectionists from ever holding office again. The Constitution does not provide for its own destruction. [More]

True. It provides for its restoration after oath-breaking insurrectionist officeholders push the people beyond their limits of tolerance, all with an understanding at the time of ratification informed by the Declaration’s insistence “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Then again, what else would you expect a born-and-bred Marxist agitator to argue?

A Predetermined Outcome

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was convicted Tuesday of seditious conspiracy for a violent plot to overturn President Joe Biden’s election, handing the Justice Department a major victory in its massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. [More]

You know the questions I haven’t seen answered?

What order did he give to attack the Capitol? When did he give it? Who did he issue the order to?

Attorneys vow to appeal. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that would go to these judges. Noting who appointed most of them does not fill me with optimism, and all the Supreme Court would have to do to let a verdict stand is…nothing.

Leftist propagandist Raw Sory is quoting Constitutional joke Jamie Raskin to say Trump will pardon Rhodes and the other defendants. At this point and without what the conviction lacked, that is, specific substantiation, that seems more like a political tactic to influence the next presidential election.

Speaking of Disturbingly Persistent Ideas…

“Elegant and important essay by @RepRaskin debunking the disturbingly persistent idea that the 2nd Am gives citizens the right to take up arms against the government.” [More]

For being an “LATimes Legal Affairs Columnist. Former US Attorney, DOJ official. Teach con law at UCSD& UCLA” you’d think this f***ing idiot would know the Second Amendment doesn’t “give” any rights.

As for Marxist weasel Raskin, the rotten fruit doesn’t fall far from the corrupt tree.

It’s funny that the Democratic Underground uses a web archive link to avoid the NYT paywall. It’s dangerous that no one there understands the basics of the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

Speaking of a Constitutional Joke…

“My friend from Texas, Mr. Roy, advances the so-called insurrectionist view of the second amendment, that the second amendment’s purpose is to give the people the right to overthrow or fight our government or fight the police or threaten armed resistance if the government is somehow being unfair or unjust,” Raskin said. “This reading is totally and absolutely absurd and flies in the face of the place text of the constitution.” [More]

Don’t tell us. Tell Alexander Hamilton:

If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government…

That and he’s not your friend, buddy…
