Rep. Jody Hice (GA-10) voted to overturn the November 3 election results and to nullify the votes of over 35,000 Clarke County voters, of nearly 2,500,000 Georgia voters, and of over 80,000,000 American voters. His actions went beyond protected speech and voting decisions. On the morning of Jan. 6, Hice urged supporters to “FIGHT” and stated “This is our 1776 moment” hours before thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building in an attempt to overthrow an election, resulting in 5 deaths.
Reflecting President Biden’s call for unity, the Athens-Clarke County Democratic Committee (ACCDC) feels it is important to listen to and work with Republicans to make life better for all Americans. Hice fanned flames with misinformation, intentionally or unintentionally helped to start a riot, and still objected to honoring election results after the attack. Section 3 of the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution is clear on the penalty for when a Congressm
Biden s Orders Continue the Presidency s Slide Toward Elective Monarchy
If the refusal of lawmakers to enact a president s policies is justification for unilateral executive action, then a slide toward elective monarchy is inevitable. Ease up on the executive actions, Joe, The New York Times urged recently inaugurated President Biden last week. While supportive of the president s broadly progressive agenda, the newspaper s editorial board found his flurry of executive orders and other unilateral actions both troubling and vulnerable to easy reversal by future presidents. This is no way to make law, the Times added.
Unfortunately, creeping rule-by-decree has become common for presidents, and Biden s impatience with the normal frustrations of the legislative process builds on the conduct of his predecessors. While partisans tend to pick sides on executive power depending on who holds the White House, the devolution of the presidency into something resembling elective monarchy s
Hearing date for Marlenaâs Bistro owner By Peg McNichol

HOLLAND MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – Marlena Pavlos has a chance to defend the license for her restaurant, Marlenaâs Bistro & Pizzeria, 909 Lincoln Ave. in Holland, on Monday, Feb. 1, 2021. She’s kept the restaurant open for dine-in service, despite a statewide ban. The restaurant has been in business for more than five years.
In December, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) issued a notice of license revocation to Zante, Inc., Marlenaâs Bistro & Pizzeria’s parent company, which also belongs to Pavlos.
State health officials barred dine-in service intermittently since the pandemic started last March, with the most-recent order from Jan. 16 through 31 in an effort to reverse a surge in COVID-19, attributed to Christmas and New Year’s gatherings.
Will Congress Move to Censure Donald Trump?
The censure resolution would classify the Capitol assault as an insurrection against the Constitution, including elements of the 14th Amendment that lead to disqualification from future office. But will it happen?
A bipartisan duo is crafting a censure resolution that would condemn former President Donald Trump for his role in the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, serving as an alternative to his impeachment charge, since the Senate trial is likely to end in an acquittal.
Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) initiated the effort after just five Republicans united with Democrats in a 55–45 Senate test vote over Trump’s impeachment trial. The tally indicated that the trial will most likely end without a conviction, as Democrats fell short of the sixty-seven votes needed to convict the former president for “incitement of insurrection” and to potentially disqualify him from holding office in the future.
