In reply to the discussion: If Drumpf isn't barred from office for *INSURRECTION* our pretense at LAW is over with. [View all]Frank D. Lincoln
(653 posts)The way I see it, it would be in the best interests of both Democrats and Republicans to block Trump from taking office.
It would:
A. block an aspiring tyrant who plans to completely dominate each and every member of both chambers of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans.
B. make an end run around Trump who plans to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 to have dictatorial power, which would render Congress obsolete.
C. (possibly) weaken Elon Musk's grip on Congress.
D. liberate Republicans from having to continually be threatened with primary challenges every time they turn around.
E. serve as a warning to JD Vance not to get too far out of line (unless this maneuver could get rid of him at the same time).
If Congress doesn't block Trump from taking office, then there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that each and every member of Congress (both chambers, both parties) will bitterly regret it.
If Trump gets back in, he's going to be "America's Hitler" and that's in no one's best interest.
My only wish is that all members of Congress had common sense.
