By law and precedent, the Speaker of the House is responsible to protect the Capitol Building and Grounds. Read the example I previously posted in reply to your comment and tell me your opinion as to what this states. Please.
I just presented facts with quotes from laws and precedents. You need to start quoting, instead of misdirecting.I really don't know what your point is.
You say those that broke the law--MAGA supporters-- are responsible for breaking the law when earlier you indicated that the capital police were somehow responsible.
so, I never said different and that is not what this thread is about.The people who broke the law are responsible for breaking the law. Not the Speaker of the House.
Further, precedents are set, and followedThe people who broke the law are responsible for breaking the law. Not the Speaker of the House.
Sec. 1.2 Federal troops have been called upon to guard the Capitol and
its facilities on several extraordinary occasions.
On Apr. 5, 1968, in response to the widespread civil disorder that
arose in the District of Columbia following the assassination of Dr.
Martin Luther King in Memphis, Tennessee
The deployment of troops was in accordance with the Emergency Plan
for Protection of the Capitol, which had been previously approved by
the Speaker of the House and the Vice President of the United States.
Specific authority was neither requested by nor received from the
Speaker or other Capitol officials prior to the assignment of troops to
guard the Capitol.
The precedents also give examplesThe people who broke the law are responsible for breaking the law. Not the Speaker of the House.
Mr. Speaker, I am utterly amazed at my colleague from
Minnesota, a man usually of splendid judgment and absolute fairness. We have on this hill $180,000,000 worth of property. . . . . . . It happens to be the business of the Speaker of the House of Representatives to protect the property on this hill, and it cannot be protected by a few Metropolitan Police. . . . Some dayor some night somebody may come into this building and destroy a million dollars worth of property. As long as I have the responsibility, I am going to keep somebody here to protect these buildings.
That is all that matters.Nobody is arguing that those who broke laws is not responsible for their actions.
Yes, following the rules is all that matters, especially when you are 2nd in line for presidency of the united states, after the vice-president.That is all that matters.
Could it be that the situation got way out of control, and it is that the Democrat's caused it because of their possible guilty mind's upon how the presidential office was won during their highly controversial election methods used ?????so, I never said different and that is not what this thread is about.
Nancy Pelosi was the derelict of duty to protect the Capitol Building.
§1970. Assistance by Executive departments and agencies
(a) Assistance
(1) In general
Executive departments and Executive agencies may assist the United States Capitol Police in the performance of its duties by providing services (including personnel), equipment, and facilities on a temporary and reimbursable basis when requested by the Capitol Police Board or in accordance with paragraph (4) and on a permanent and reimbursable basis upon advance written request of the Capitol Police Board; except that the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard may provide such assistance on a temporary basis without reimbursement when assisting the United States Capitol Police in its duties directly related to protection under sections 1922, 1961, 1966, 1967, and 1969 of this title and sections 5101 to 5107 and 5109 of title 40.1 Before making a request under this paragraph, the Capitol Police Board shall consult with appropriate Members of the Senate and House of Representatives in leadership positions, except in an emergency.
There are millions and millions of people who recognize what authoritarianism is. No matter the political affiliation. If you got ph uked with, then you owe nothing to them. So, the truth is, scorched earth will contaminate many areas of our nation when crisis hits them.That is all that matters.
Much like the other terrorists that have attacked America (the 9/11 hijackers for example), we're ready for the next insurrection attempt (hopefully) whether it comes from the left or the right.
While I would prefer they do it at an undisclosed location to prevent such shenanigans in the future, I'm confident that the capitol hill police are ready for the certification that will still, for some bizarre reason take place 6 weeks after we know who won. There is zero reason why it should take so long to do this. But that is a topic for another time.
After 9/11 what security measures were implemented by the Speaker of the House?Much like the other terrorists that have attacked America (the 9/11 hijackers for example), we're ready for the next insurrection attempt (hopefully) whether it comes from the left or the right.
I'm certain that most will not be disclosed.After 9/11 what security measures were implemented by the Speaker of the House?

Yeah....the Senate and the house have sub committees with senators and congressmen which guide their own sergeant of Arms, who are on the Capitol Police Board.Do you see that claim made anywhere in my thread, I will help you, NO!
But now that you ask, I can explain this to you, as I explained to you that the Majority leaders of both the House and the Senate are not automatically the Speaker of the House nor the President of the Senate.
This link and quote is the basis of my thread. My thread is strictly fact with links and quotes from the laws, the rules, and the precedents. My links are to the .gov sites. I am not using secondary sources that can be questioned.

then why wasn't the National Guard sent when CP requested and Pelosi requested, on 1/6 during the emergency?Pence was not the acting president of the Senate.
The safety of the Senate is established by laws, rules of the house, and precedents. As well as the Emergency Plan for the Capitol.
To continue my previous comment, and add the relevant subparagraphs from the previous link we can see that by law Federal Troops can only deployed with a written request. In an emergency, the written request is in the Emergency Plan for the Capitol
Yes.Are you claiming that if the Executive Branch decides to attack the Legislative Branch there is no way for the Legislative Branch to protect itself?
What document supports your opinon?
He was the Senate Majority Leader at that time. But you’re right neither he nor Pelosi controlled the NGMitch McConnell? Mitch McConnel is not in charge of the Senate. Mitch McConnel is not involved.
---------------------------------------------------"When Trump pardons or commutes these bullshit sentences, he should keep the base charges of trespassing and vandalism."
There were no dirty tricks committed by Pelosi relative to Jan. 6. That distinction belongs to Trump.Pelosi thinks she is so smart that she can get away with fooling the American people with her dirty tricks... but the fact is she isn't very smart and doesn't think long term....
Fuck off.I just presented facts with quotes from laws and precedents. You need to start quoting, instead of misdirecting.
