That must be the war that the writers meant in Article 1 of the Constitution. Words have meaning, and they matter. You also can't parse parts of the same clause, "or engage in War, unless actually invaded". I love how they even used the word, "actually". It's almost like they saw the Constitution thrashing GQP coming hundreds of years in advance, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiGoose Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Ok, since it’s obvious that the GOP doesn’t want to solve the border crisis and they admit that they won’t do it for political reasons, yet so many here seem to believe both that the Dems want the border crisis and that the issue hurts them: What is the alleged Dem theory of the case here? Get more immigrants in so that people like Dems less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of frustrated and angry people that are tired of getting crapped on with this nonsense. we know. we are preparing. soooooo maybe the word "insurrectionist" isn't overused and meaningless.

It's tough to argue with people who think the world is flat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz28 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 minute ago, Doc said: The only reason anyone calls J6 a "mostly peaceful protest" is to clown those who used that phrase to describe the far more destructive riots during the Summer of 2020. And ask the "sanctuary cities" who are now crying because they can't support all the illegals being sent there whether it's an invasion. Are those same people "clowning" us with, "hostages" now? It's not an invasion by the writing/meaning of the Constitution. They make it clear that the clause is about an actual war. In fact they literally said, "engage in war" right before invasion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've been saying, J6 was an embarrassment and never should have happened and certain people deserved to be charged, but it wasn't an "insurrection," planned or otherwise and people who did nothing other than enter into open doors at the Capitol shouldn't be punished.

Yeah we saw your best and brightest during insurrection 1.0. Led by a 1 eyed man who, of course, shot his own eye out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More people to do menial jobs? “Let’s do something that makes us very unpopular because a generation or two from now, we could have some more voters” -The brilliant Dem immigration plan, apparently I think that the border crisis cannot be solved except for by Congress. Simply militarizing the border will be insufficient because not only would it require an insane amount of resources, many immigrants cross into the US legally and then overstay their welcome. So even if the border was super secure with a bit scary fence and people shooting anyone who gets close to it, you’re still going to have a sizable problem. You need a comprehensive solution that actually gets to the root causes of the issues in addition to more security. But the Dems can’t do that without the GOP who repeatedly admit that they don’t want to solve it. You can do patchwork attempts to mitigate but without Congress taking action, you’re not going to be able to handle the numbers we are currently seeing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're glossing over the whole fake elector coup d'etat part, but anyways back to the topic. Is the southern border the "invasion" the writers of the Constitution intended? If so, then Texas is in imminent danger of "war", right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta love when the Fox/GQP narrative doesn't even make any sense, but that doesn't stop them from parroting it anyhow. The whole things is a giant complex mess, that both sides are using as politics. It's disgusting, because it's human beings, that are their pawns. Ted Cruz is literally grandstanding on raped children, but I think both sides know he's a putrid person. What good are new laws going to do if they aren't enforced or funded properly? This is really just a big American political joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." And would you say that securing the border would cost more than, say, $150B annually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
