Alaska’s constitution prohibits anyone “who advocates, or who aids or belongs to any party or organization or association which advocates, the overthrow by force or violence of the government of the United States or of the State” from holding public office.How exactly does it violate the Alaska State Constitution? The Oath Keepers all swear oaths to uphold the US Constitution. Which is how the organization got its name.
The ADN is not a "real source." It is a leftist piece of shit rag run by San Fransisco leftist filth. Half of their leftist propagandists don't even live in the State they are suppose to be writing about.
With regard to your bullshit mischaracterization of the ethics complaint against Eastman, he revealed that an ethics complaint had been lodged against Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux to reporters - that is it. Ethics complaints in Alaska, for very obvious reasons, are kept confidential. He was removed from his committee seat for that violation in 2017.
That is up for the court to decide, not you nor I,He is not disqualified from holding office, since the publicly stated goals of the Oath Keepers are to uphold the US Constitution that they all took oaths to protect. The leftist piece of shit judge needs to be impeached and disbarred for judicial misconduct for intentionally violating Eastman's First Amendment rights.
The only body that can violate the First Amendment is Congress. It's a single sentence that starts, "Congress shall make no law..."Source:

There would certainly appear to be judicial misconduct if the case was given merit based upon Eastman's individual right to freely associate with whomever he pleases. The case began on Tuesday, December 13, 2022. I do not have the details yet on how it is proceeding. I will post to this thread when that information becomes available.
Membership in the Oathkeepers (whose leader has been convicted of seditious conspiracy) is problematic. You can be an Oathkeeper, but you can't take the oath of office if you are a member. Freedom of speech and assembly have consequences beyond the individual.Source:

Perhaps you could dig up the stated goal of the Nazi Party or the Students for a Democratic Society and we could see what crap stated goals are?Except that the Oath Keeper's stated goals do not violate Alaska's State Constitution. This is the actual stated goal of the Oath Keeper's:
The Oath Keepers USA are a group of proud American Patriots who are dedicated to upholding the constitution of the United States.
@Glitch, handsome is as handsome does. Sorry, but the Oath Keepers showed their true colors on Jan 6 2023.
Publicly stated goals are not always the truth.That is correct. You cannot be a member of the Alaska State Legislature if you either advocate for the overthrow of the US, or any State, or are a member of an organization that advocates the overthrow of the US, or any State.
A lifetime membership with the Oath Keepers - whose publicly stated goals are to uphold the US Constitution which they have all sworn oaths to protect - does not meet those requirements.
So very sad. Right wing scumbag is being held responsible. A real tragedy in the making.Source:

You have no clue what is a commie.And they will use lameass arguments in an attempt to further the commie agenda. Pretty standard MO for them.
Sure, but one of those other amendments extended those rules to states.The only body that can violate the First Amendment is Congress. It's a single sentence that starts, "Congress shall make no law..."
Why would I do that? Knock yourself out!Perhaps you could dig up the stated goal of the Nazi Party or the Students for a Democratic Society and we could see what crap stated goals are?
Yeah, maybe.Sure, but one of those other amendments extended those rules to states.
I think?
The communist agenda is the abolition of currency and wealth, with the idea that labor will provide for everything. Basically, in theory, communism basically says that if you are willing to provide the labor and skills that you possess, you will get out what you put in. Put in a little, you get little, you put in a lot, you get a lot. Since there is no currency once communism is achieved, the people will provide for those who are willing to help provide for others with labor instead of currency/wealth. In communism...there are no freebies.And they will use lameass arguments in an attempt to further the commie agenda. Pretty standard MO for them.

Ahhh how MAGA loves 'alternate' facts...No, they are not, but I understand that is what the Democrat sycophants and leftist propagandists in the media are trying to push. It is both a freedom of speech and a freedom of association issue.
Peh former pigs more like. Got angry they cant groom German shepherds to bite off the faces of people they dont like. Tinpot tyrant wannabes. Why the **** dont they get harassed at gunpoint every day? White privilege. Its only minorities that have to fear being lynched, stalked, and tormented in murica.

AK judge to allow election certification of Rep. David Eastman
An Alaska judge said Wednesday he would lift an order that had blocked elections officials from certifying Rep. David Eastman as the winner of his state House race after ruling last month that Eastman, who is a member of the far-right group Oath Keepers, is eligible to hold the seat.
Superior Court Judge Jack McKenna made the comments during a brief hearing, a day after the plaintiff in the case challenging Eastman's eligibility filed notice that he would not appeal McKenna's December ruling that found that Eastman is not disqualified from holding office.
