I see, and the state authorities has to threaten them with jail to make sure that happens.
Again this is the law.
The law says what it says. It isn’t new. It isn’t something the Left created in the last couple days. It is something that was passed long ago to insure that County Officials did not engage in misconduct. That’s all.
It is a premise of this nation that no one is above the law. There is no legal authority for those County Officials to refuse to do their duty. If they choose to do so, and they are free to do as they want, they face consequences.
It is easy to be courageous when nothing is on the line. It is much harder when you have skin in the game.
Ask yourself this. Why won’t these election officials risk it? If they believe so completely they feel they must act why does a threat of legal consequences get them to fold their hand immediately.
Why not take the risk and stand before the Jury and say they could not in good conscience participate in a theft.
They could quote St. Augustine who taught that an unjust law was no law. They could count on Jury Nullification. If Lake is Sworn in they could be looking at a full Pardon.
But they get a phone call and immediately surrender. For two year’s maximum penalty.
These guys are not heroes. And they don’t believe they are right. They are acting up to try and placate the more militant idiots who see conspiracies everywhere. People like you. If they truly believed they would take their chances.
History is not made by those who risk nothing. It is made by those who risk everything.
Charles Lindbergh risked his life to fly across the Atlantic. Astronauts risked everything to fly in space. Soldiers risk their lives to do their duty. These heroes won’t risk a trial to do what you think is right. What they claim is right.
What does that tell you?
