    And no, border issues are not an insurrection and the Republicans know that it isn’t. They are not challenging the Constitution or the supreme Court on this? They are simply trying to brainwash and con their voter base. You are giving them entirely too much power and I can’t understand why.

      Here is an excerpt from the 14th

      shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

      Does Biden’s “open border policy” allow terrorists or foreign agents to sneak into the country? Is that not aid and comfort to our enemies?

      Sure, you and I think that is a ridiculous interpretation, but will a judge in Mississippi? Do you really believe that the current Republican party wouldn’t abuse the fuck out of this? Republicans started using that rhetoric the moment people started talking about applying it to Trump. This needs to be defined at the Federal level.

      I am not giving them power. In red states, they are the power.
