Look what happens when the GOP says the quiet part out loud... i think we shoudl discriminate against hypocritical Christians who believe in a fantasy figure and then ignore everything their idol says for them to do... wait until atheists start discriminating against christian karens and kens... Virginia State Senator Mark Peake, a Republican has courted significant controversy after he admitted that the "whole point" of religious exemption bills is to legalize discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. Peake made the remarks in regard to S.B. 177, a bill he proposed that would create a religious exemption to a ban on discrimination in housing, effectively giving people who are part of a “religious corporation, association, or society, or any nonprofit institution or organization” free license to discriminate against anyone who doesn't abide by their "religious principles."
What is the meaning of insurrectionist? : an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.
lot of comments agaisnt the bill all over social media were like that haha.. I think people should just discriminate against the christians like him starting now and see how he likes it..
Madison Cawthorn sues NC to stop inquiry into his role in Jan. 6 attack on Congress https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article257917708.html North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn, whose eligibility to run for reelection to Congress is being formally challenged, has now begun his legal fight against that effort. Aside from a blanket one-sentence denial, Cawthorn does not address the allegations against him — namely, that he supported and possibly even helped plan the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress by supporters of Republican President Donald Trump attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Rather, his lawsuit says the N.C. State Board of Elections has no authority to keep him off the ballot in the first place, and so the challenge against him should be dropped and the state law allowing for such challenges should be ruled unconstitutional. “Running for political office is quintessential First Amendment activity and afforded great protection,” his lawsuit says. Cawthorn, a Republican who represents Western North Carolina, has created a national following among the far right wing of the party. In an interview with the conservative Daily Caller website Monday, the same day he filed the lawsuit in federal court, Cawthorn advanced the conspiracy theory that the Jan. 6 attack was conducted by the FBI or other parts of the Trump administration to discredit Trump. “There were members of the federal government who were deeply involved in this,” he said. Those challenging his eligibility said that if any members of the government were involved in the attack, it was actually Cawthorn and potentially other GOP politicians helping far-right militias and other groups plan the attack. Specifically, they say there’s reason to suspect that “Cawthorn was involved in planning efforts to intimidate Congress and the Vice President into rejecting valid electoral votes and subvert the essential constitutional function of an orderly and peaceful transition of power.” He should have to undergo a deposition to answer questions about his role in the attack if he wants to be able to run for office again, the challenge states — something Cawthorn’s lawsuit Monday says violates his constitutional rights.

I fail to see the downside to this... Cawthorn Whines That if 14th Amendment is Successfully Used Against Him, Trump Can Never Be President Again https://hillreporter.com/watch-cawt...him-trump-can-never-be-president-again-124547
So if you want Trump as president again, Madison must be killed to block this case proceeding. Hear that boys?
North Carolina Attorney General & Board of Elections to insurrectionist: "Did we stutter?" North Carolina officials reject Cawthorn claim that Constitution’s insurrectionist ban no longer applies The case is an important early test for those seeking to impose consequences on members of Congress who embraced false claims about the 2020 election results. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/...wthorn-constitution-insurrectionists-00010944 The North Carolina attorney general’s office says a constitutional prohibition on insurrectionists seeking federal office could be applied to GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn if a state board determines he aided or encouraged the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. In a late Monday court filing, state attorneys said a provision of the 14th Amendment — disqualifying insurrectionists from holding federal office — is not a defunct Civil War-era relic meant to apply only to former Confederates but a guard against future acts of insurrection. As a result, Cawthorn, who is fighting a challenge to his eligibility to run, could face that prohibition if the North Carolina State Board of Elections determines he meets the criteria, the state attorneys said. The state’s filing came in a motion to dismiss Cawthorn’s lawsuit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections. Cawthorn is suing to prevent the board from even considering the challenge to his eligibility to seek a second term in the House. In his lawsuit, Cawthorn claims the 14th Amendment provision was intended to apply only to former confederates who fought in the Civil War, and he cited a subsequent 1872 “amnesty” law that waived the 14th Amendment prohibition for those confederates as evidence of his claim. But the state AG’s office, led by Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, disagreed with Cawthorn’s interpretation, citing comments from legislators who helped pass the 1872 law and noting that Congress itself had applied the 14th Amendment prohibition in 1919 against a man named Victor Berger, who was barred from office for violating the Espionage Act during World War I. “Plaintiff’s argument is meritless, as it would invalidate the expressed intent of the legislators who enacted both the Fourteenth Amendment and the Amnesty Act of 1872,” Special Deputy Attorney General Terence Steed wrote in a filing joined by three other officials in the state attorney general’s office. The case is an important early test for those seeking to impose consequences on members of Congress who embraced former President Donald Trump’s false claims about the results of the 2020 election. Those claims helped fuel unrest that led to the attack on the Capitol last year, leaving scores of police officers injured and disrupting the transition of power from Trump to President Joe Biden. North Carolina features one of the most permissive laws permitting challenges to candidates’ eligibility — typically for things such as age, residency or citizenship. Under the statute, candidates facing challenges must affirmatively defend themselves, and the elections board determines whether the evidence supports disqualification. A challenge to Cawthorn’s eligibility for office was filed last month by attorneys representing constituents in Cawthorn’s district. They said Cawthorn “was involved in efforts to intimidate Congress and the Vice President into rejecting valid electoral votes.” And they said when he appeared at a Jan. 6, 2021, rally that preceded the Capitol attack, Cawthorn would have known it was likely to be a prelude to the violence. These factors, they said, trigger the 14th Amendment prohibition on Cawthorn’s eligibility to serve in Congress. In addition to his claim that the 14th Amendment prohibition is obsolete, Cawthorn’s suit argues the North Carolina law giving the state the ability to evaluate his eligibility is an unconstitutional qualification for federal candidates, who are only subject to criteria set out in the Constitution. Congress has the ultimate authority, he notes, to determine whether to seat any incoming lawmakers. “[T]he public interest is served in choosing the People’s representatives by democratic processes, not by state bureaucrats, which Challengers propose here,” Cawthorn argues in a brief filed by prominent conservative attorney James Bopp Jr. “The undemocratic scheme contained in the North Carolina Challenge provisions supplants voters for state bureaucrats who will determine who can represent the People.” But the state attorneys say Cawthorn’s complaint is misguided. The state elections board merely prevents ineligible candidates — those who fall short of the constitutional requirements to run — from appearing on the ballot. Congress can determine later that an elected lawmaker is ineligible to be seated in the House. But state authorities have power to evaluate potential candidates for office, the state attorneys say. The bulk of the state attorneys’ argument is simply that Cawthorn’s lawsuit is premature. The state elections board gives candidates ample opportunity to defend themselves against challenges and has made no ruling in Cawthorn’s case. In addition, Cawthorn’s challenge comes amid a court-ordered redistricting that could affect the district Cawthorn is running to represent, which may make the challenge against him moot. If the challenge against Cawthorn moves forward, it first goes to a three-member investigative panel — appointed by the state elections board — for a determination. After the panel issues a ruling, the parties may appeal the ruling to the five-member state board. This process, state attorneys say, offers Cawthorn multiple chances to defend his eligibility. His lawsuit should only be filed after this process is complete, they argue. “[Cawthorn] has made his claim before he has suffered any harm,” the attorneys say. “Any candidate challenge proceeding may result in Plaintiff successfully demonstrating that he is not disqualified; in that case, he would suffer no injury whatsoever.”
The little Nazi wants to confiscate your social security and force old people to work. Madison Cawthorn reveals his “contract with America” and Americans tell him to STFU https://www.queerty.com/madison-cawthorns-reveals-contract-america-americans-tell-stfu-20220224 U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn has unveiled his “New Contract with America” which calls for abolishing the Department of Education, making English the official language of the United States, and most incredibly, defunding Social Security in order to “incentivize” the elderly to work. Cawthorn, 26, who happens to be the youngest member of Congress, would like to “turnaround the mismanagement of Social Security, because Americans want to help the needy by incentivizing people to work and get off entitlement programs.” Try explaining that one to your retired parents or grandparents. The plan even came with its own hype video. “The Green New Deal is a disaster…It’s a trojan horse for communism in America,” Cawthorn says in the video. “I am tired of watching the D.C. swam and political insiders capitulate to socialism. This is why I have come up with a bold Constitutional plan. It’s called the New Contract with America.” (More including the video at above url)
