Twenty eight Republican Senators voted to obliterate the US Constitution in favor of Article 5 of the NATO Agreement

By Anonymous

On July 19, two days before his Senate Office in Kentucky was firebombed, Sen. Rand Paul offered an amendment to the 2024 NDAA (S 2226).  It was the legislative intention of the Senate to clarify that “Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty does not supersede the constitutional requirement that Congress declare war before the United States engages in war.”  

Article 5 is a key pillar of the 1949 North Atlantic Treaty and is based on the principle of collective defense. It means that an attack on one member of NATO is deemed to be an attack on all.

The Senate vote was 83 – 16 against the amendment with all Democrats voting “No” and twenty-eight Republicans joining the Democrats to vote in favor of NATO and against the U.S. Constitution. 

Each one of those Senators need to resign immediately.  They have disgraced their office and are no longer qualified to service honorably.  They do not take their oath of office seriously as they have destabilized and weakened the authority of the US Constitution, the most essential of America’s Founding Documents. 

In other words, the US Senate not only failed to confirm their support for the US Constitution; they in fact voted to desecrate the Constitution.  

Those twenty eight Republican Senators are Sens. Blackburn *(Tenn.), Britt (Ala), Boozman (La.)  Budd (NC), Graham (SC), Grassley (Iowa), Hoeven (ND), Hyde Smith (Miss.), Ricketts (Neb.), Risch (Idaho), Romney (Utah,)* Round (SD), Scott (SC), Scott (Fl.),* Capito (W.Va.), Collins (Me.), Cornyn (Texas), Cassidy (La.)  Crapo (Idaho), Ernst (Iowa), McConnell (Ky,) Fischer (Neb.),* Moran (Kansas), Young (Ind.)*, Wicker (Miss.)*, Tillis (NC), Thune (SD), and Sullivan (Alaska)

The * Senators are seeking re-election in 2024; they must all be turned out of office.
