>Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Wyoming Republican, told Semafor that the First Amendment, which protects free speech, should no longer be considered the „ultimate right“ in America.
Fuck that bitch. Saying something like that should be an automatic removal from office.
Now lets see her say that about the 2A.
That’s an interesting way to honor your oath of office.
If she doesn’t adhere and obey the US Constitution then she needs to be thrown out of office.
The purpose of the first amendment is to allow people to speak truth to avoid tyranny. It was never to protect lies to usher in tyranny, but that’s closer to what is happening.
Whatever we have currently is aiding and abetting an authoritarian takeover of the US. We’ve got to figure out how to deal with the tolerance paradox here.
The right to freedom of speech, the right to peacefully protest and the right to hold power accountable through satire are all hallmarks of a healthy and robust democracy. To dismantle these rights is to dismantle democracy itself
>I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend Donald Trump ~~the Constitution of the United States~~ against all ^woke enemies, foreign and liberal ~~domestic~~; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation ~~freely~~, ~~without any mental reservation or~~ ^with purpose of evasion; and that I will ^not well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter ^unless ^it ^helps ^me ^profit. So help me ^supply ^side ^Jesus ~~God~~.
They must have changed the oath.
This is an anti-American sentiment. To be anti-First Amendment is to be anti-American.
>“Under normal times, in normal circumstances, I tend to think that the First Amendment should always be sort of the ultimate right. And that there should be almost no checks and balances on it.“
When you abridge freedom of speech, it stops being normal times and circumstances.
Sounds like something a Nazi would say
In a sense, she’s right. Ultimate actually means „last.“
And these MAGA types won’t stop screeching about how they’re PAtriOts.
If they don’t want to respect and uphold the friggin’ *Constitution*, they’re welcome to leave.
Then why was it the First amendment?
Wyoming values aren’t American values.
Wyoming only has half a million people living in it. It would only take a small incentive program from CA to encourage enough relocations to permanently shift the vote there. Hell LA alone could probably do it.
Does she realize that she is able to say that because of the First Amendment?
Being an elected official saying you don’t believe in the Constitution should be an immediate removal from office and a ban on ever serving for the US government ever again. In a sane and just world she’d be on LinkedIn by this evening.
It’s the first amendment for a reason:
>“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances“
Look at all the rights it protects. Opposing the 1st amendment is tyranny of the worst sort.
Republicans fail their oath of office daily as they wipe their ass with the constitution. These fascists need to go!
Rights are those basic freedoms through which all other freedoms, including other rights, are secured. If one right is in jeopardy, they are *all in jeopardy*. There is no „ultimate right“, they are all *fundamental* to a free and secure existence.
She says this with no concern of retribution from the government
We must always remember , maga politicians took an oath to trump not the constitution
‚Republican Senator Outs Herself as a Traitor‘
Fixed the title.
Only in free societies should it be the ultimate right.
Republicans HATE America for its freedoms. Hate it with a seething irrational hatred, want to ban anything that rubs their religious anti-American selves the wrong way like they’re in Iran.
She’s a traitor.
It’s literally the first one.
The most annoying part is that it’s pointless to call them out for their hypocrisy because they have no shame.
„*I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.*“
One again these godless Republican fascists invoking His name in vain.
She just betrayed her oath to uphold the constitution. She should be removed from office immediately and jailed.
Dear Leader is taking too much heat. Time for low level minions to debase themselves as a distraction.
She’s free to say that and I’m free to say that’s an unconscionable take for an elected rep who swore to uphold the constitution to have.
To be fair it’s not the ultimate right. It’s the first right. So exactly the opposite
Republicans: Guns are fine. Jokes are not.
Also republicans: support a billionaire pedophile president.
If she believes that then she should do us all a favor by setting an example and shut the fuck up.
Seriously, fuck these assholes.
Just stop listening to them. Stop giving them air.
MAGA is nothing more than the 90 lb airplane hijacker with a box cutter holding an entire plane hostage.
The moment this country wakes the hell up and realizes this, MAGA is dead.
And I say arrest her for being a fascist.
