  1. An activist has filed a petition to knock Scott Perry off the Pennsylvania primary election ballot for [his role in trying to decertify the 2020 election results](https://www.pennlive.com/news/2023/12/trump-prosecutor-wins-a-deeper-look-into-rep-scott-perrys-cell-phone-communications.html).

    Gene Stilp, who ran for the state House of Representatives in 2014, filed the lawsuit in the Commonwealth Court saying that Perry’s connection to the Jan. 6 insurrection is enough to bar him from running for office under the Fourteenth Amendment.

  2. >Federal investigators have not charged Perry with a crime related to the Jan. 6 insurrection or efforts to overturned the 2020 election.

    Not a fan of removing people from the ballot without even being charged.

  3. Every House Rep that voted to try and use Fake Electors from any state should be invalidated. Insurrectionists cannot be allowed to serve in Government in any capacity.

  4. Anyone involved in the Jan 6th insurrection should be barred. If you hyped up the crowd, or marched with them and entered the capitol grounds, you were part of the *plan to stall congress and overthrow the government.* You heeded the call to rebel and then followed through. IT doesn’t matter if you weren’t part of the violence, your support that day is enough.

    Think of it this way. When an army attacks a target, does every soldier in the army fire a gun? There is aid and support, reserve, and logistics. Many armies win battles without ever firing a shot, and win through maneuver alone.

    If you were there, helped people get there, or were any way a part of the crowd… ***you were and still are an insurrectionist.***

  5. The GOP is losing their damn minds that people are wanting to hold others accountable.

    What a great start to ‘24

  6. Somebody should file a lawsuit to stop Mike Kelly from running also He’s a traitor too

  7. This is where it goes from being a shitshow to a full-on panic by the GOP. The Trump DQs didnt get summarily shot down in lower courts and are definitely going to SCOTUS. It’s emboldened people to start going after the other Republicans tied to Jan 6 and the insurrection.

    This isn’t going to be the last lawsuit. Expect more and an escalating rhetoric from Republicans. They have nothing left in their toolbox to fight this and it could very well unravel their whole party.

    At least that’s my armchair general opinion.

  8. Every single one who voted to “reject” should be removed.

  9. Can we also do it for Mastriano who was literally at J6?

  10. Pretty sure the founding fathers put the 14th amendment in there on purpose

  11. I’d love to see grass roots legal action against all the traitors.

  12. As a PA resident I’ve been waiting for this for a while now. I’d rather see charges brought against him but I’ll take it.

  13. Use the 14th amendment to ban all those idiots.

  14. This is a slippery slope that ends in civil war
    Calling it now

  15. Yes!! We need to do this to everyone involved. MTG, boebert, Cruz, everyone!

  16. I for one cannot wait until a court in a red state in bad faith decides someone engaged in insurrection and removes them from the ballot so we can finally get a SC ruling on how this should be enforced instead of each state deciding whether a federal crime in another state was committed based on whatever standard the state wants to use.
