Trump seeks federal law overriding state’s rights?

I feel like I’ve heard a complaint or two about this before…but from where?

It was Trump’s efforts that led to it being banned in the first place

The system didn’t fail them, voters did.

If being convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud and civil liability for rape did nothing to persuade voters then there was nothing Jack Smith could have done to change their minds either.

Can’t happen

Congress: A two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is required

Constitutional convention: Two-thirds of state legislatures must call for a convention

Ratification

Three-fourths of state legislatures or conventions must ratify the amendment

Each state legislature must vote on the amendment in an up-or-down vote

State legislatures cannot change the language of the amendment

This bill is DOA, it’s just (more) political theater

If anything it’s an admission of the realization that Trump won’t be able to accomplish much of anything in just 4 years at the pace government functions

Why are they called “rioters” now?

They’re insurrectionists

Anyone else not only not watch, but actively avoided any possibility of even catching a glimpse of it?

“The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me.”

He called Ulbricht’s prison sentence “ridiculous.”

I clearly recall Trump being president from 2016-2020, Ulbricht was sentenced to life without parole in 2015.

If it was so ridiculous, why didn’t he pardon him on his first term? What changed to make it such an immediate priority now?
