File lawsuit claiming members of Congress are ‘insurrectionists’
Leftists in Wisconsin have gone to court with a strategy that already has been rejected by a federal judge, claiming that members of the Republican Party are “insurrectionists” and therefore are unqualified to hold public office.
Local Fox 6 is reporting that the allegations include that the GOP members are in violation of the U.S. Constitution for their support of Donald Trump in the days prior to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
The action, by liberals, cites the “Disqualification Clause” of the 14th Amendment in charging that Republican Sen. Ron Johnson and U.S. Reps. Tom Tiffany and Scott Fitzgerald cannot hold office.
However, WND already has reported on a federal judge’s rejection of virtually the same allegations in a case involving Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a Republican from North Carolina.
