Maryland used to be known as “The Free State.”

Now it’s “The Freak State.”

I agree that the 17th Amendment needs to be repealed.

However, I think Mr. Manning would have a better chance of being elected Senator by the state legislature of Maryland than he does of being elected by a majority of the voters of Maryland.

Manning did not give his country 'humane treatment'....at taxpayer expense and demands made as if by right is stunning. Manning is now He-she-it". How sick to think He-She-It can mess with our government...even the LGBTQ should be leery of this sick person.

Has MD had anyone good since Spiro T. Agnew? He does look a little better in retrospect, and he fooled Nixon for a while.

Milo at least knows who he is; doesn’t demand the government pay his medical bills.

That makes sense because there are petitions to get on the ballot and Bradley hasn't produced anything.

I'd say we're in for a book soon....and that's what this is really about.

“Cardin is running for re-election. Anyone who thinks Manning has a chance is crazy, and that includes Manning itself.”

Maryland Democrats are very leftist. Manning is a favorite of Obama and other influential Democrats. Cardin is in his mid 70’s. Cardin is a Clinton stooge with no career achievements and no strong support. Some Soros money and leftist organizing could give Manning the nomination.

Cardin is definitely the favorite, but stranger things have happened among Maryland Democrats.

At least Benedict Arnold was a Patriot before he wasn’t.

Anyone who runs against this IT had better use the word Traitor in the same sentence every time they mention IT’s name.

The Republicans need to paint Manning as “the face of the democrat party”

Did I say the Constitution says that?

(besides, I didn’t hear anything)

Point out where the Constitution says that.

But there's this:

18 U.S. Code § 2071 States That A Violator Of This Statute:

"Shall Forfeit His Office And Be Disqualified From Holding Any Office Under The United States."

Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.

(18 U.S. Code § 2071)

The Constitution lays out the qualifications for a U.S. Senator. Felony convictions aren't included and states can't ban candidates because of them.

"However, I think Mr. Manning would have a better chance of being elected Senator by the state legislature of Maryland than he does of being elected by a majority of the voters of Maryland."

This is why patriots need to get state lawmakers up to speed with the major constitutional problem that the corrupt feds are stealing state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

The state legislatures need to elect federal senators who will kill appropriations bills that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

"Chelsea Manning would like to have us believe that her purpose in releasing the classified information was noble.

It is NOT a "her". nor a "she". It is a mutilated, chemically altered male.

Why are you referring to a man as “it”?

There are two sexes. He’s a man. Is that confusing?

a U.S. Senator

Is a US Senator an "office under the United States"?

Who signs their paychecks?

Is the only reason Manning wasn’t executed was because of mental illness?

5.56mm

No. It was because of Obama. Obama set him free and restored his military pension and other benefits.

What is to stop Congress from passing a law that says nobody may be an officer under the United States unless they are a military veteran? That would prevent the current president, current vice president, most of the cabinet, and a good percentage of the House and Senate from running again would it not? Under your interpretation of the law that is.

Statutory law cannot override the Constitution.
