Revenge Of The Swamp: DC RINOs Attempt to Sabotage President Trump’s Re-Election With Retirements, Insurrection Legislation – President Trump Must Work On Counter-Strategy Before It’s Too Late | The Gateway Pundit
The Uniparty is quietly scheming (once more) to rig the system and stop President Trump from ever turning into President. This scheme entails a two-part technique: utilizing a mix of strategically deliberate retirements of Republican Home members, coupled with the passage of rigorously tailor-made laws to take away President Trump from the poll on bogus Revolt grounds that will probably cross muster with average justices on the Supreme Courtroom, like John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, preferring to keep away from deciding on “controversial” authorized questions and danger being seen in a nasty gentle by their liberal friends.
The truth that over a dozen House Republicans have not too long ago introduced their early retirement, or their intention to not search re-election, ought to elevate alarm bells for everybody, as a result of these choices are usually not by happenstance. They’re coordinated and serve the precise goal to maintain President Trump off the poll. As their makes an attempt at lawfare seem like falling aside one-by-one, from the debacle in Georgia involving Fani Willis’s rendezvous with the special prosecutor Nathan Wade, to the kangaroo show trials in NYC, with petty judges and prosecutors resembling Letitia James, Arthur Engoron, and Juan Merchan, being uncovered for the unconventional, far-left operators they’re – President Trump’s political enemies are getting more and more determined, and on account of that desperation, are strategizing to now change management of the Home of Representatives earlier than election day. In the event that they handle to tug off that feat, which is turning into more and more probably with a diminishing Home Republican majority, the product of intra-party squabbling and normal incompetence of Republican management, and Democrats retake management, President Trump’s enemies will be capable of extra simply cross laws that will disqualify him from the poll. It is because if the Home flips to Democrat palms and Speaker Hakeem Jeffries takes the reins, he’ll be capable of coordinate with Chuck Schumer within the Senate extra simply, who already controls a majority within the higher chamber. At the least up till the November election, there will likely be no divided authorities: Democrats may have majorities in each congressional chambers, plus the White Home. Thus, the Home, Senate, and White Home can collude to cross laws that will exclude President Trump from the poll as a result of, in response to their absurd building, Part 3 and Part 5 of the Fourteenth Modification permits them to take action.
Because of this the early-announced retirements of Home members like Mike Gallagher (WI) and Ken Buck (CO), and the compelled ouster of former Congressman George Santos (NY), have obtained (rightful) criticism from the MAGA motion, together with a number of the most stridently pro-Trump congresspersons, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. The Mike Gallagher case is especially illustrative of RINO subversion – and MTG was no-holds-barred in her criticism of the transfer. Gallagher, fairly than step down instantly, introduced that he would delay his retirement till April 19th. Beneath Wisconsin regulation, particular elections to fill seat vacancies can solely happen up till the second Tuesday in April – after which level, the regulation requires the seat stay vacant by way of the November election. Thus, if Gallagher postpones his retirement till the 19th, after the second Tuesday in April, there will likely be no particular election: Republicans will merely have to simply accept dropping one other Home seat. Democrats will likely be one seat nearer to reclaiming majority management. Gallagher’s refusal to step down earlier than the second Tuesday in April is unnecessary in anyway: it may well solely be defined as an act of deliberate sabotage. MTG took discover. On March 23rd, she posted that Gallagher “must be expelled if he refuses to go away instantly,” recognizing how his delay may in the end price Republicans the Home majority.
It’s no coincidence that the identical forces so deeply essential of George Santos’ ouster late final yr are those most vocal concerning the information of those early retirements. They observe the writing on the wall: the need is to maintain President Trump off the poll – and out of workplace. Offering additional assist for this concept is the truth that of the 14 or so members which have introduced early retirements, at the very least six of them have obtained vital funds from infamous anti-Trump megadonor, Paul Singer: Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Patrick McHenry, Drew Ferguson, Kay Granger, Blaine Luetkemeyer, and Greg Pence. Singer, as neatly reported by investigative journalist Troy Smith, and veteran political operative, Roger Stone, additionally donated a whopping $5,000,000 to Nikki Haley’s failed presidential bid – which marked one other try by the deep state to derail President Trump in his tracks.
Singer’s assist for anti-Trump, RINO candidates has a well-documented and intensive historical past. The billionaire has been unsuccessfully making an attempt to thwart the President ever since he descended the Trump Tower escalator: in 2016, Singer poured over $2.5 million into Marco Rubio’s failed presidential marketing campaign. Singer additionally supported analysis into the universally discredited, bogus Steele File after Trump was elected to the presidency, and has been actively making an attempt to cease the 45th President in his tracks ever since.
What Singer and his RINO allies – and different anti-Trump curiosity teams within the DC Swamp – try to perform is kind of blatant: push sufficient Republicans into early retirement in order to offer Democrats management of the Home earlier than the November election. The timing is essential: the rationale Democrats must retake management earlier than November is to make sure sufficient Supreme Courtroom justices will rubber stamp any laws that may forestall President Trump from getting on the poll on Fourteenth Modification grounds.
However, you is perhaps considering, didn’t the Supreme Courtroom already rule, in a unanimous (per curiam in Courtroom-speak) judgment, that Colorado’s Secretary of State couldn’t do precisely that within the latest resolution, Trump v. Anderson? Not precisely.
One should choose aside the choice with a fine-tooth comb, however the attentive reader will discover the language of the Courtroom fairly worrisome. That is notably true for the three liberal justices: Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson, who wrote a separate concurrence – agreeing with the Courtroom’s majority “solely within the judgment.” Including additional fear is the separate concurrence of Justice Barrett, who additionally wrote her personal 1-page judgment, agreeing with the bulk for “Components I and II-B” of the opinion, whereas additionally stating her perception that the 5 justices who absolutely signed onto the bulk went too far.
In easy phrases, the Courtroom was solely unanimous on the brink problem – that Colorado’s Secretary of State couldn’t have the facility to unilaterally take away President Trump from the poll. However settlement ends there. Ought to the Home change palms, and a Democrat-controlled Congress passes enforcement laws, pursuant to Part 5 of the Fourteenth Modification to take away President Trump from the poll, it is rather probably that at the very least 3 justices will uphold that laws. And, based mostly on the language of her resolution, Justice Amy Coney Barrett could be a tossup – which means she will doubtlessly facet along with her liberal colleagues. If she winds up siding with the Courtroom’s three liberals, it would solely require one different justice – like John Roberts or Brett Kavanaugh, who’ve been identified to be delicate on politically hot-button points, to leap ship. The truth that not one of the judges have been prepared to rule on whether or not President Trump really engaged in Revolt on January 6th, 2021, can be troubling – as a result of it means that the Courtroom would fairly stay “above politics,” fairly than risking embroiling itself in a massively vital political controversy, offering readability within the regulation, even when it meant alienating radical Leftists, who incessantly resort to worry mongering, bullying, and even violent threats to get what they need out of squishy justices.
Whereas it’s true that the Courtroom paid some consideration to the prospect of the Home switching palms earlier than the election and passing laws to exclude President Trump from the poll, it didn’t go far sufficient. Certain, the Courtroom took off the desk the concept Congress may cross laws between Election Day and Inauguration Day, when the results of the 2024 election is presumably already identified, to forestall the duly elected president from taking workplace. This language clearly has President Trump in thoughts and is successfully stating that if Democrats have management of Congress – and if President Trump is re-elected – they can not try and ram by way of last-minute laws to forestall him from taking workplace on alleged Fourteenth Modification grounds, in a last-ditch try to dam him out of the presidency.
Though that seems smart on its face, already 4 justices – the three liberals and Justice Barrett – clearly signaled that they might not, at the very least at this level, be snug taking that possibility off the desk. In brief, 4 justices have instructed that they could uphold a last-minute legislative effort by a Democrat-controlled Congress to oust President Trump even after he had already been re-elected. If that’s true, then actually the 4 would assist enforcement laws to take away President Trump from the poll whereas he was nonetheless Candidate Trump. They’d probably do that regardless of the protection measures included within the majority’s opinion to forestall congressional laws from going too far – such because the language from the opinion that stipulates for “‘congruence and proportionality’ between stopping or remedying [the alleged misconduct] ‘and the means adopted to that finish.’”
How President Trump May Cease RINO Makes an attempt To Knock Him Off The Poll Earlier than It’s Too Late
So, what now?
Nicely, the primary – and certain most vital step – in planning a counter-strategy, is to pay attention to the issue. This piece goes a great distance in direction of spelling out a possible problem; by highlighting Republican chicaneries within the Home – and calling it out in its tracks, resembling what MTG did with Gallagher, that would nicely go a great distance in direction of subduing one thing that has the potential to blossom right into a 5-alarm hearth.
If President Trump, for instance, calls out Mike Gallagher’s antics of their path – that may power him to step down early, and never wait till past the deadline to offer Democrats one other seat. Placing a nationwide highlight on the problem, by the use of President Trump and his marketing campaign, may also forestall different would-be Home RINO turncoat members from pulling off an identical trick – and may also put stress on Home Speaker Mike Johnson to reprimand, or doubtlessly even expel, members that don’t fall in lockstep. (And if Mike Johnson proves incapable of stopping this plot in its tracks, then one other movement to vacate – of the kind MTG proposed just recently – is perhaps simply what the physician ordered.)
As a matter of coverage, if, God forbid, Home Republican antics proceed, they usually wind up dropping management over the decrease chamber to the Democrats, President Trump can and may coordinate with 41 Senators, the quantity wanted to prevent cloture of a filibuster, to make sure blockage of any would-be Revolt laws that will get handed. This may be finished, however it would contain strategic planning with sympathetic Republican ears within the Senate – at the moment, Democrats maintain onto a slim 51-49 seat majority within the Senate and are poised to lose management of the higher chamber on this November’s election cycle on account of a extremely favorable Republican map.
Accordingly, if President Trump and his group can coordinate with sufficient Republicans to dam cloture – they will forestall any Revolt laws from being handed. Present guidelines require 60 votes to finish a filibuster, so Republicans can afford to lose eight of their members, and nonetheless forestall any such laws from going to Joe Biden’s desk. And whereas it’s true that if ever such laws have been handed, the Supreme Courtroom would virtually actually mechanically evaluate it for its constitutionality, given how high-pressure the scenario will likely be – and different elements which might be outdoors anybody’s management, such because the circumstances during which such laws is handed – it’s best to forestall such a dire state of affairs from occurring forward of time, in its tracks, fairly than go away it as much as the Supreme Courtroom, a wildcard, to resolve when it would already be too late.
