The "Tea Party Nation" formally has called for the disbarment and/or election removal of Angela Corey. https://www.onekingslane.com/join-b...geting)&utm_content=Content(demographic)|PPCA
Actually they have good reason:
This is the oath of office Angela Corey took, word for word:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States and of the State of Florida; that I am duly qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the State, and that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of District Attorney on which I am now about to enter, so help me God. (If the official is only affirming may delete "So help me God.)
This is the exact wording of the Constitution of the United States:
United States Constitution's Bill of Rights
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
There is no infamous Crime than Murder and Zimmerman is charged with the a first degree felony offense of murder.
Get rid of Angela Corey.
Interesting. It's not a capital crime, of course (second-degree murder); but it is most certainly infamous.

Each state structures terms differently. For example, in Florida "SECOND degree murder" is a FIRST degree felony. A first degree felony is THE most serious crime EXCEPT a "capital" offense - "capital" means death penalty.

The fifth amendment applies to the FEDERAL government, not the states... Learn the constitution teabaggers!
"While the Fifth Amendment originally only applied to federal courts, the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the Fifth Amendment's provisions as now applying to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."
Fifth Amendment | LII / Legal Information Institute
oops.
No, some elements of the fifth have been incorporated to apply to the states because of the due process clause of the 14th amendment, but the grand jury requirement is not one of them:
Hurtado v. California - 110 U.S. 516 (1884) :: Justia US Supreme Court Center
Palko v. Connecticut - 302 U.S. 319 (1937) :: Justia US Supreme Court Center
You claimed the 5th applies only to the Federal government. Are you now modifying your claim?
Which states allow indictments on Capital crimes without a GJ?
Well, let me explain it in more detail. The 5th does only apply to the federal government. However, the 14th amendment also uses language about "due process" like the 5th does. The courts interpreted "due process" as meaning the same thing as is spelled out in many of the provisions of the bill of rights. Over the years the courts have gone through most of the core protections in the bill of rights and said this one and that one also apply to states not because that amendment directly applies to the states, but because they think it is part of due process. But only the fundamental ones. Things without which you couldn't be said to have due process. The specifics about grand juries was found NOT to be one of those fundamental requirements in those two cases I cited for you, so it was not incorporated into the 14th.
Dunno.
Well that is changing your claim and that is fine. I asked which states use them because the only way it would be incorporated is if it was challenged. With 1937 being the latest date of an example given, I suspect it hasn't been challenged lately.
What gave you that idea?I thought the Tea Party was just about spending and taxes.

To some tea partiers (not all) it's all related. Some of them see all the talk about welfare and taxes and whatnot as a process of defending white "Real Americans" against black people. Black = welfare = socialism and white = taxpayer = "Real American". It's all idiotic of course. Only 1% of blacks are on actual welfare. More whites are. But, whatever, that's how they see it. So, to those types, this is just another venue in which "Real Americans" are fighting against "socialism".
1%??? Where do you get that number from?
I seriously doubt your 1% figure, but whites better be, considering they make up a larger portion of the population.To some tea partiers (not all) it's all related.

Thanks. Your post wasn't there when I initiated mine.I posted the proof one post again. Again:
1.723 million people get actual welfare (TANF)
Of those, 33% are black
So, that's 568k black people getting welfare
There are 39 million black people in the US.
568k / 39 million = 1.4%
Yet it doesn't include food stamps or section 8.
Yeah there is a disproportionately more blacks are on Welfare than whites by percentage of their respective population.
That stance really isn't wrong.Right. This is for welfare only. Not food stamps, section 8 or anything else.
Yep, that's right. A higher percentage of blacks are on welfare, but a higher percentage of the people on welfare are white. So, you get why the black = welfare stance of at least some tea partiers is bs, right?
