Is there some compelling reason for keeping Idaho?

[John Q. Public]

BOISE, Idaho - The Idaho Republican Party will consider 31 resolutions at its three-day convention starting Thursday, including one already adopted by Texas Republicans that President Joe Biden isn’t the legitimate leader of the country.

The Idaho resolution in the deeply conservative state that Donald Trump won with 64% of the vote in 2020 is nearly identical to the Texas resolution that was passed last month, stating: "We reject the certified results of the 2020 presidential election; and we hold that acting president Joseph Robinette Biden was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States."

Both the Idaho and Texas resolutions contend that secretaries of state circumvented their state legislatures, even though both states have Republican secretaries of state.

They forgot to tack on "...with absolutely NO proof whatsoever." on the end

Nullification, succession then Civil War. At some point the fetish and the fantasy becomes reality.

Assuming you meant "secession", are you truly afraid that Idaho will secede and start a civil war?

[John Q. Public]

I don't know that secession would really be a problem in Idaho's case. Lots of other places people can fish.

Spokane might as well be Idaho.

SPOKANE, Wash – A man from Stevens County who says he’s the chief justice of an independent nation state faces kidnapping charges in Spokane.

As he tried to assert this information in court this week, Spokane County Court Commissioner John Stine told him, “Sir, I don’t want to hear any of your constitutionalist crap. Save it for somebody else who’s stupid and believes in that.”

~snip~

Police say it started last September when Danil Bagmet was arrested for strangling his teenage daughter. He’s charged with assault and charges are still pending.

The child was taken into protective custody and, according to a Spokane County judge, placed with another Russian family.

The foster parents say the child’s mother came to their home with a man claiming to be a lawyer. Court documents say the man’s name was Howard O’Padden (identified in court documents and the jail roster as Howard Padden.)

Court documents say O’Padden presented paperwork to the foster parents saying the child was to be returned to her parents. The foster father said the paperwork “looked official.” Police say the documents mentioned “the 1860’s, kings and queens, dissolution of the United States, etc.”

Wrong example on my part, not secession and civil war but a modern version of the Redemption Era. Adam Serwer predicted it back in 2018.

With Anthony Kennedy’s retirement, there is no discriminatory voting restriction the justices will be unable to sanction, no immigration law born in animus they will be unable to approve, no expansion of corporate power they will be unable to accept, no grant of presidential immunity they will be unable to uphold, no financial or environmental regulation they will be unable to strike down, no religious objection to an antidiscrimination law they will be unable to recognize, no worker protection they will be unable to repeal, no limitation on abortion they will be unable to allow, and no abuse of power by law enforcement they will feel compelled to restrict. While the Roberts Court will never explicitly endorse a white man’s government in the way the Redemption Court did, in pursuit of other cherished ideological goals it will be asked to pave the road for a white man’s government by another name.

In the short term, that means that in states where Republicans dominate the government, women and religious and ethnic minorities will find their rights further curtailed. Where it is necessary to restrict the electorate in order to maintain political dominance, Republicans will be able to do so without much interference.

Thanks for that, Broman. I didn't know that period had a name. I thought it was just "when Reconstruction fell apart."

Nice article, but I'm not sure I see where Idaho plays a part in this movement.

They prove more and more every day how much they hate America.

"Or any other mammal...."

The "IDAHO, USA" is also kind of funny, considering it's a Boise station.

IDAHO, USA — Two Idaho lawmakers have introduced a bill to charge those who administer mRNA vaccines with a misdemeanor.

Sen. Tammy Nichols, R-Middleton, and Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, sponsored HB 154. It was introduced in the House Health & Welfare Committee on Feb. 15 by Nichols. According to the bill text, "A person may not provide or administer a vaccine developed using messenger ribonucleic acid technology for use in an individual or any other mammal in this state."

That person would then be charged with a misdemeanor.
