You don’t get rich by standing in line, either.

I’ve noticed that every time Higgens speaks about his evidence he refers to Jan. 4th, 5th, and 6th.

Now you’re being obtuse. You quoted nothing.

Yeah, I know who built the gallows. Just like I knew you were ignorant of the evidence, or you wouldn’t have said something as imbecilic as “To hang Mike Pence.”

Who built the gallows? I’ll give you a hint. They arrived well before daylight, assembled the gallows, and promptly walked to the coffee shop across the street from the FBI Building, where lots of FBI agents frequent. This is all on video, yet their identity remains as elusive as the bomber’s.

Better supervision would have prevented law enforcement firing on peaceful protesters.

He’s not gonna watch the video.

I saw a policeman utilizing his training to subdue a criminal resisting arrest, who died of a drug overdose before the paramedics could prevent it happening. I saw a police officer shoot and kill an unarmed, 115lb woman who was not threatening him and he did this without any attempt to arrest her. Guess which one went to prison, where he was nearly killed?

Who threw their headgear?

You and one other.

Travis! Wow!

I believe this is Fix’s third match of the season.

Looked good getting it done. Advantage Cowboys.

How many Suspicious Activity Reports were initiated?

It’s been less than four weeks since Jamison’s injury so he may not be ready yet.

Bless your little heart.

Incorrect. It is textualist/originalist to read and interpret the entire Amendment, as well as anything else that would explain the writer’s intent. At the time it was written it was perfectly understood that it pertained to the Civil War. The men affected by it were well known to have been associated with the Southern war effort. They didn’t, nor could they, deny it. Even so, enough controversy arose that Congress found it necessary to write a statute the next year. A statute that the Colorado court ignored. I believe that when the Supreme Court deals with this case it’ll be said to be textualist/originalist, and will go against the Colorado court, and you.

Do you believe that it also empowers state courts in Alabama and Mississippi to determine who is insurrectionist and kept off their ballot?

Best advice I ever got was reading that Paul Polosi bought a bunch of Nvidia stock. It was around 17, now 45.

This is a good example of how most people understand this preposterous ruling. If each state followed suit it would be chaotic. How supposedly intelligent people can study law, and be considered good enough to make it to the bench, only to churn out this kind of partisan garbage is what destroys the people’s confidence in the institutions of our civilization.

Interesting history of your self-execution theory: “Jefferson Davis contended in 1868 that Section Three was self-executing and barred his treason prosecution, and Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase agreed with those arguments as a circuit judge presiding over the proceedings in Virginia.[8] But shortly thereafter, the Chief Justice issued the first opinion on Section Three and held that the text was not self-executing in Virginia and—in the absence of congressional action—did not apply to a Black criminal defendant there.[9] Following these inconsistent rulings, Congress enacted a Section Three enforcement statute and federal prosecutors brought many actions to oust ineligible officials, including half of the Tennessee Supreme Court.” https://constitutionalcommentary.lib.umn.edu/article/amnesty-and-section-three-of-the-fourteenth-amendment/

So, where’s the conviction?

Maybe. Maybe it indicates how difficult it is to get a straight deal.
