Despite years of complaining about threats to democracy, Democrats are plotting to thwart the collective will of the 77.2 million Americans who voted for President-elect Donald Trump in a fair and free election. are.
in December 26 editorial In The Hill, Chicago investment banker David Schulte wrote, “Congress has the power to block President Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now.''
friend Both Barack Obama and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have joined the former Democratic president of the New York City Bar Association. Evan Davisechoed Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.)'s call for Congress to block President Trump from taking office in February.
The two Democrats initially accused Trump of being an “oath-breaking insurrectionist” who is against the Constitution, not the government, after Democratic lawmakers tried unsuccessfully to convict Trump on sedition charges in early 2021. He tried to launch this claim on the basis of what he had done. Rebellion; Regarding remarks by Democratic appointees to the Colorado Supreme Court. and about the partisan rhetoric of Democratic Jan. 6 committee members.
Apparently the pair were convinced that appealing to the perceived wisdom of their Trump-hating brethren was enough to justify their plan, and sent a letter to the president of the Senate who had failed the president. Candidate Kamala Harris claimed it was still possible to invalidate Americans' electoral votes — and give the Washington establishment the mysterious victory they so desperately crave.
According to Schulte and Davis, the U.S. Supreme Court:
9-0 verdict in Trump vs. Anderson Democrats' attempt to keep Trump from voting in Colorado does not prevent Congress from rejecting the electoral votes on January 6, citing 14th Amendment disqualification.
“Watching Trump's most fervent opponents claim they have the right to reject Trump's Electoral College victory on January 6th is one of the funniest things ever. ”
Schulte and Davis said the high court's conservative majority held that “a new federal law must be passed based on the enforcement powers provided by the Fourteenth Amendment.” He accused the court of “going too far” and argued that the Supreme Court had no right to speak. The counting of electoral votes “because the rejection of a vote for constitutional reasons is a political matter that cannot be reviewed.”
The Democratic duo then identified a way to steal the 2024 election and install Harris as president.
Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022;
rewrite The Election Counting Act of 1887 provides: two grounds to Congressional objections to the Electoral College vote. The first objection questions whether the electoral votes were “regularly cast” and whether the voters qualified as presidential candidates under the Constitution. Another basis on which the Legislature could object is if the documents submitted by the governor identifying the electors are flawed.
Schulte and Davis believe the solution is to uphold the initial opposition.
“A challenge under the Count Act would require a petition signed by 20 percent of members in each chamber,” the Democratic duo wrote. “If a dissenting opinion is supported by a majority vote in each chamber, the vote will not be counted and the number of votes needed to win will be reduced by the number of disqualified votes.If all votes for Mr. Trump are not counted, Kamala Mr. Harris will be elected,” the president said. ”
Democrats may have the numbers to voice their opposition in both the House and Senate, but numerically this strategy is nothing more than the wishful thinking of anti-democratic radicals. Congressman Raskin considered going down this path during a panel discussion on February 17th at a Washington, D.C., bookstore.
Raskin correctly, and reluctantly, predicted at the time that the U.S. Supreme Court would rule that Trump could not be disqualified from Colorado's presidential primary. Section 3 of the 14th Amendmentcalling the impending decision an “abdication.” [the court’s] A very clear mandate to disqualify Donald Trump. ”

said With the camera,[The justices on the Supreme Court] They want to tell Congress, so it's up to us to tell the rampaging Trump mob on January 6, 2025, that he is disqualified.”
While clearly open to the idea, Democrats noted that overriding the will of the people in counting electoral votes “could really lead to something akin to a civil war.”
Raskin went on to say that after lawmakers disqualified the next presidential nominee, “not all nine justices need bodyguards for everyone in a state of civil war, but they hear too many cases each year.” It's for the judges who don't have it.” They have a lot of work to do, a huge staff, and strong protections, and they just don't want to do their jobs and interpret the meaning of the great Fourteenth Amendment. ”
