2 Political Junkies: Hill v. Mastriano 4:22-cv-00556

Nicely, I have noticed it.

An astute reader was type ample to email a PDF of the lawsuit in.

Enable me body this in the typical caveats. I am not an lawyer. I have never taken a legislation study course, opened a law book or researched to be a lawyer/authorized assistant/paralegal/legal secretary in in any case. Apart from just one very small stint on a jury in the mid-90s, I have no practical experience in any respect as a law firm.

I’ve in no way even performed one on Tv.

In any case, back to Hill v Mastriano.

This is the deal with sheet:

Yea. Hill’s heart is surely in the right place but I cannot see this going anywhere.

For instance, he flubs a reference to the PA Constitution:

Pursuant to Modification 14, Area 3 – PA Structure, Pennsylvania point out Senator Doug Mastriano must be barred from managing for Pennsylvania governor in 2022…

That is in the to start with page. He’s referencing the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, although he gets the reference appropriate on the fourth but nevertheless it’s not a great way to open a lawsuit.

Hill does have a level, of training course. That segment of the US Constitution reads:

No individual shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector
of President and Vice-President, or maintain any business office, civil or military,
less than the United States, or beneath any Point out, who, obtaining previously
taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United
States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an government or
judicial officer of any State, to aid the Constitution of the United
States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion versus the
identical, or given assist or comfort to the enemies thereof.[Emphasis added.]

Hill then lists all the stuff we currently know about Mastriano lied about how prolonged he wandered all over the Capitol that day, Mastriano’s place of work chartered buses to the January 6 rally, Mastriano experienced his image taken with fellow RWNJ Rick Saccone and so on.

All of these matters are pretty pretty poor politically. I’m just not so positive they are ample to bounce him from the principal ballot.

But at the heart of the issue is this: to the extent that PA Point out Senator Doug Mastriano was included in Trump’s tried coup, he is disqualified from managing for community office environment, any public office environment, ever once again.

Senator, any word on when you’ll remark about that congressional subpoena you been given?
