kallend 1,623 #27 January 6, 2021 A woman is in critical condition after being shot in the chest on the Capitol grounds, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The sources could not provide further details on the circumstances of the shooting. The Senate floor was cleared of rioters as of 3:30 p.m. ET, and an officer told CNN that they have successfully squeezed them away from the Senate wing of the building and towards the Rotunda, and they are removing them out of the East and West doors of the Capitol. It's not clear if any of the individuals have been taken into custody. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having 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 executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. Cori Bush is introducing a resolution doing exactly this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,048 #36 January 6, 2021 Hi folks, One of the reasons why I voted for Biden: Trump: ‘This election was stolen from you, from me, from the country. You'll never take back our country with weakness.’ Biden: ‘Let me be very clear, the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect a true America, do not reflect who we are.’ Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
