The Political Left will just find a new judge and a new law.

They never get tired.

They never get frustrated.

They never, ever stop.

Why is it illegal to question an election anyway?

[blackdog]

26% of America’s colonial population favored independence from Britain and King George. How come the 74% of loyalists didn’t lock up the 26% of independence seeking patriots on their 4th of July insurrection?

"...is protected by presidential immunity for the statements he made creating doubt..."

Who the hell needs immunity. What happened to The First Amendment?

“There must be some way out of here”
Said the joker to the thief
“There’s too much confusion
I can’t get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth”

[cymbeline]

“I don’t recall the Democrats needing approval from a judge to question the outcome of the 2016 election.”

Someone needs to explain to both of us what’s illegal about complaining about an election.

[fruser1]

So only a sitting president can doubt an election?

[Eleutheria5]

Um, ‘cause they had guns, and the loyalists mostly didn’t want to fight; they just wanted to sit around being loyal?

Nore those hanging chad’s in Florida...

[Alas Babylon!]

You left out the 1/3 who didn't give a rat's rear end. Only 1/3 were Loyalists.

Go with the flow, go along to get along people probably were the largest minority in that 3 way division.

Does this means it’s illegal for everyone else to doubt the election?

[CodeToad]

Small, yes, but it does open a point I have yet to hear, and that is that the President, as chief executive officer of the executive branch of government, has the right and duty to question such things.

[Fledermaus]

Or 2004 and 2000.

[newzjunkey]

Got to say “Sore Loserman” didn’t are well on the right all things considered. Gore opened this Pandora’s box

[aligncare]

No, this is America, you are allowed your doubts. You’re just not allowed to express your doubts or you’ll be targeted by DOJ for plotting/participating in an insurrection.

First amendment be damned.

[Zathras]

I was in Portland visiting friends after the election.
Wall to wall protests.

[blackdog]

How long until some grand jurors with prosecotors going after Trump begin to talk about the coercion to charge?

[StAnDeliver]

"2020 election worker James Savage"

"But this case is not the proper place to do so. Here, Trump is entitled to Presidential immunity."

That's what you call, a Savage burn!

AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA*rimshot*

[arthurus]

How the hell can anything he said as President or after not be protected by 1st Amd??? He never called for Revolution or any sort of violence. The Jan 6 charges are based entirely on what he was believed to be thinking, even, imputed thought crime!

[left that other site]

Since when is it a crime to doubt?
