Jim Jordan Played A Lead Role In Trying To Overturn The Election According To Newly Published Texts


A trove of more than 2,000 of Mark Meadows’s texts was published today, and they show that Jim Jordan played a lead role in Trump’s plot.

Jordan was one of 34 Republican members of Congress communicating with Meadows about overturning the election.

Rep. Jordan wrote to Trump’s chief of staff:

On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all — in accordance with guidance from founding father Alexander Hamilton and judicial precedence.

�No legislative act,� wrote Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78, �contrary to the Constitution, can be valid.� �The court in Hubbard v. Lowe reinforced this truth: ��That an unconstitutional statute is not a law at all is a proposition no longer open to discussion.� �226 F. 135, 137 (SDNY 1915), appeal dismissed, 242 U.S. 654 (1916). � Following this rationale, an unconstitutionally appointed elector, like an unconstitutionally enacted statute, is no elector at all.

Jordan was trying to use the Federalist Papers to say that the election was illegal and Mike Pence had the power to overturn it via the recognition of Trump’s fake electors, which is not what Alexander Hamilton meant.

[Faux pas]

1. Not

SURPRISED. Old gym is as scuzzy as they come. I want to see mass arrests of ALL of those government employees. Sooner rather than later.

[Septua]

22. No surprise is right.

Every time he was asked a question about Jan 6, he skirted it somehow or had amnesia. He refused to sit before the Jan 6 committee which is IMO an admittance of complicity.

Peter Navarro said on TV there were 100 congressman involved in the Green Bay Sweep...I never doubted Jordan was in that bunch.

[Botany]

2. Jordan did not write that

I wonder who did?

Btw electors are appointed by the state after the state certifies the vote and that state's vote is based on the
framework directed by the US Constitution.

"Unconstitutionaly appointed elector" is just gibberish.

As I read earlier on DU today this was not about trying to
overturn the election but overthrowing our government.

[mountain grammy]

6. my guess is John Eastman

who makes up all kinds of shit about Constitution, Federalist Papers, etc, etc..

[Botany]

24. Thanx! Eastman makes sense as per a person who would forward that gibberish

BTW Gym sure seemed nervous when asked about J 6th.

&t=2s

and now that shit is going to be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee?
he should be in jail for what he did and that was trying to overthrow our government
in order to keep Trump in power.

15. All were searching for a legal fig leaf. To present to The Thing and counsel for approval. Simple.

[KPN]

18. Yup. In their minds, that's not just what was required, but all that was required.

They believed all he needed was some good bullshit. Who more likely than knucklehead Gym Jordan to forward bullshit. Well, there were quite a few likeliest — but Gym was among the most qualified in that regard.

[KPN]

19. Yup. In their minds, that's not just what was required, but all that was required.

They believed all he needed was some good bullshit. Who better than knucklehead Gym Jordan to forward bullshit.

[sprinkleeninow]

17. "...overthrowing our government."

[Septua]

21. Gibberish is all that ever comes...

..out of Jordan's mouth.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

31. Yes. But a torrent of gibberish so fast and thick there is only time for the listener to

to think…A Fool…and move on to something more interesting!?

[NutmegYankee]

3. Hubbard v. Lowe Has nothing to do with this.

It’s a case arguing that a bill raising taxes didn’t originate in the house and therefore was thrown out. It became moot when the house raised the bill again and it passed both houses.

That has fuck all to do with electors.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

16. Yes. Clutching at straws to find a fig leaf. All total QAnon quality. All doomed in Law.

Could find no fig leaf. Solution?

…invoke national emergency, using fig leaf…which they didn’t have.

[aeromanKC]

4. Liz Cheney knew from day 1

Hopefully Gym is one of the referrals.

[Traildogbob]

8. The new chair of the Judiciary in January.

All in on ending the J6 investigation. Wonder why?

[housecat]

5. We really need to get rid of fascists in Congress. if we don't kick them out they will kick us out.

[moonscape]

11. Maddow's Ultra was shocking, until I

realized how our current reality is even more so.

[housecat]

13. Yes. Ultra was depressing. Rachel did a wonderful job making us look in the mirror

[triron]

29. She is trying to wake us up.

[Emile]

7. Lock him up!

[WVreaper]

9. Jim 'go to jail' Jordan

Let me shorten that to Jim JAIL Jordan.

[YoshidaYui]

10. I am willing to bet MTG was up to her

Elbows in the insurrection!

[Whiskeytide]

12. And he was almost on the J6 commission. Thanks ...

… our House leaders for saying nope on that BS.

[usaf-vet]

14. Gym Jordan doesn't have the ability to put together the "evidence" he pulled out of his rectum.

Hell, he missed the evidence of the misdeeds that were going on right under his nose even though he was told but chose to ignore it all.

[Kid Berwyn]

20. Benedict Jordan, the Peeper's Choice

[IcyPeas]

23. Liz Cheney quote:

[malaise]

25. Of course he did

Rec

[panader0]

26. What irks the shit out of me is that we all know this a-hole was guilty since the get go.

We all knew the Gosar and Gaetz and Greene were guilty almost right away. We all knew that 140 (?)
repubs voted the night of Jan 6th not to certify--they too were guilty. Yet here it is almost two years later
and all of these asses are in our government, reelected because no charges were ever brought against
these people who supported or took a more active role in the insurrection. The R's now control the House.
It irks the shit out of me. Real justice would have had many of these people arrested and not in our House.

[triron]

30. Me too.

[Emile]

27. So when is this traitor going to be arrested?

[Hortensis]

28. Wonder if this could "overturn" Gym for GOP chair of the Judiciary Committee.

Losing that very powerful postion would cause Gym pain.

One of the texts from Treason Caucus member Ralph Norman saying tRump needs to invoke "Marshall Law." to the revelation of how unfamiliar he is with the written term, not to so to his call for a military takeover of the nation.

Btw, WHY do some refer to these people as "congress," falsely equating our Democratic members with them?

[UTUSN]

32. K&R

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. And this asshole will be heading the House Judiciary Committee

[Hassler]

34. At every Gym Jordan hearing, every Dem need only use all

Their time to keep repeating Gym's treason and Gym's wingman for a predator behavior, with a sprinkle of Jared's Saudi payoff
