Makes it a Federal Crime. Murder is a local prosecution, unless there is a federal hook. So this bill would be for, you know, when local DAs don’t prosecute the lynching of a black man because the good ol’ boys were just acting in self-defense.Originally Posted by cajunrevenge
It’s also extremely important that this country reckon with its history of lynching, so this bill was symbolic as well. If you haven’t been to the memorial in Montgomery, it really is striking.
What a load of ****. He voted against it because he is a states rights libertarian, and he thinks states should handle murder.

I am skeptical there will be an election

Yeah, hard to argue "death penalty" is the main reason when it's like 10 tweets down in his explanation.

The Lynching recognition movement was the brainchild of EJI and Bryan Stevenson. To claim that the bill was mainly about "expanding the death penalty" is to be offensively and moronically uninformed. Again, I will recommend the EJI memorial in Montgomery.
This bill was almost purely symbolic, basically a token recognition of the country's complete historic failure to grapple with this issue, and Amash chose to grandstand against it because of "federalism." The irony is that is was Amash's beloved federalism that allowed all the lynchings in the early 20th century to go unprosecuted.
Mother calls Larry King. Says Tara did not go public "out of respect" for the senator.
Ex husband writes of sexual harassment in his Biden's office. And of a deal with chief of staff.
Chief of staff says nothing of the sort happened.
What's enscheffs view on Biden and Reade?
I wonder.
Then the Speaker of the House becomes President on inauguration day. The constitution is clear, his term ends on January 21st 2021, if no new election is held the speaker of the House becomes President until the situation is resolved.

And when (R) takes it to court who does the judging ? Who defines what Trump Administration would undoubtedly call "extraordinary circumstances"
Rudy tried this in NY after 9/11 and failed.
Lesson I am sure they take from that was, dont give the law a chance. Bury it.
Like the Mueller Report, like the 25-30 women claiming sexual harassment, like the myriad of impeachable offenses committed by this administration
etc etc etc
When the Speaker turns to the court to uphold her (his) constitutional standing
Who is sitting on the bench ?
yeah, McConnell's installed judicial system
face it, we"re ****ed

Thats called a coup. Really on the Democrats to force the issue at that point.

History tells us whatever Trump accuses of others he is himself
"Lyin' Ted" "Crooked Hillary" "Lil Marco"
Hunter Biden Ukraine

Agreed. We found out that the Hussein administration tried to install tyranny but failed.
Right after we found out Trump and Melania had an orgy with Vladimir Putin and a unicorn.

The lawyer for Biden's accuser donated money to Trump. According to Trumps own logic this proves it's a coup by Republicans against Joe Biden.

Install tyranny
That’s a phrase someone in 2020 tries to use
And also tries to call other people idiots

Exactly what can the incumbent President run on?
He can’t run on the economy.
He can’t run on healthcare.
He can’t run as a moral leader.
He can’t run on bring the country together.
He can’t run on leaders he put in power.
He can’t run on justice.
Exactly what can he run on?
