Trump, the Republican party, Republicans in Congress, and Musk with his DOGE are engaged in an ongoing insurrection that violates federal law (18 U.S. Code § 2383). Democrats should adopt an ACTION PLAN WITH FORCE that begins with enacting and enforcing a new state law modeled after the federal law in 7 states that have Democrats in control of state government. California could be the first state to enact and enforce the law within 90 days which would remove the 9 Republicans representatives from California in the Congressional House. The House would then have a Democratic majority in 2025 with Jefferies as Speaker of the House to stop the Big Beautiful Bill and make sure Ukraine and Medicaid are fully funded and there will be no tax cuts for the rich. The PLAN is described in the following paragraphs with actions that will remove conservative justices from the Supreme Court.
An insurrection led by Trump occurred on January 6, 2021, but continued as another illegal insurrection in the 2024 election led by Trump with support by the Republican party and the 77M who voted for Trump. Trump promised, if elected, he would act against the laws of the United States, reject the Constitution and become a dictator on Day One. Now the insurrection has continued led by Trump during his presidency with support by Republicans in Congress and oligarchs including Musk. According to the federal law on insurrection (18 U.S. Code § 2383), a felony crime is committed by “whoever assists or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof or gives aid or comfort thereto shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the united states”.
All votes for Trump in the 2024 election were illegal violations of federal law (18 U.S. Code § 2383) because the votes were support of the insurrection.
STEP 1 – Enact a new state law on insurrection modeled after the federal law on insurrection, 18 U.S. Code § 2383, in 15 states in 2025 so that Democrats would have a large majority in control of the House of Representatives by the end of 2025. The 15 states which have Democrats in control of state government with Democrats as governor, attorney general and a Democratic majority in the state House and state Senate. The 15 states are Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine.
The new state law would define a felony crime and penalties for whoever is a resident of the state and has assisted, or engaged in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof or has given aid or comfort thereto by being a registered voting member of a political party that (1) had supported the election of an insurrectionist to the presidency and (2) remained a member of the political party after the insurrectionist was elected president and engaged in leading the executive branch to violate the Constitution of the United States and the laws thereof. The new state law would also define a violator of the law as being incapable of voting in any future election in the state or holding office as a representative of the state in Congress or holding any office under the state.
STEP 2 - In 2025, following the enactment of the new state law on insurrection in 7 of the 15 states, the new state law should be enforced. Governors and attorney generals in those states should order the arrest of residents of the state who are holding office as Republican representatives of the state in Congress or holding office as Republicans in state legislature as suspected violators of the new state law, immediately remove them from office, to be indicted, prosecuted in state court, and imprisoned following conviction. The change in representatives in Congress should immediately create a new large Democratic majority in the House and reduce the small Republican majority in the Senate. The 7 states are California which could remove their 9 Republican representatives in the House, Colorado has 4, Illinois has 3, Maryland has 1, New Jersey has 3, New York has 7, and Oregon has 1 for a total of 28. Maine has one Republican senator in the Senate who could be removed.
STEP 3 - In 2025, following the enactment of the new state law on insurrection in Maryland, New Jersey and Colorado, the new state law should be enforced by governors and attorney generals in those states who should order the arrest of the four suspected violators of the new state law who are residents of those states and justices in the Supreme Court. Roberts & Kavanaugh are residents of Maryland, Gorsuch is a resident of Colorado, Alito is a resident of New Jersey. After arrest and confinement in the state, the attorney general would remove from the Supreme Court to prosecute them in state courts and imprison them following convictions for up to ten years. After removing the four conservative justices from the Court, the Court would change from 6 conservatives and 3 liberals to 2 conservatives and 3 liberals with four vacancies. The Supreme Court would not be able to function and hear cases with the reduced number of justices. Trump will try to replace the justices, but that attempt should be challenged in federal and state courts and would be blocked until Democrats win the presidency in 2028.
STEP 4 - In 2028, a national election would be held in which Democrats should be elected as president/vice-president because of the harmful damage done to the public and the federal government by Trump/Musk and Republicans in Congress. The new president should invoke the Insurrection Act to enforce federal law, 18 U.S. Code § 2383 and have the military arrest and remove any remaining conservative justices on the Supreme Court, then arrest and remove all remaining Republicans in Congress (House and Senate) and all Republicans in state governments as violators of federal law 18 U.S. Code § 2383. Violators would be prosecuted and convicted in federal courts. The president would appoint new justices to the Supreme Court who would be confirmed by the Senate. A revised federal law on insurrection would be enacted as modeled after the new state laws on insurrection to permanently block citizens in any state who violated the law on insurrection from ever voting again in federal or state elections. Following elections in 2030, all 435 members of the House and 100 members of the Senate would be Democrats. All 50 states would have only Democrats in state governments.
STEP 5 – In 2030, Democrats could begin passing laws and restructuring the federal government to repair and correct the damage caused by Trump, Republicans and oligarchs over the last 50 years.
William Miller, you have come up with an amazing and brilliant idea!
I read your short version in Robert Reich's post about the Continuing Resolution now before the Senate. Its fate could be decided in literally hours, so I ran into this at '11:58 pm'!
I want this idea implemented ASAP, so need to spread it as far and wide as possible. Of course. it's yours, you certainly deserve and will get the credit!
Though I discern that you want this to work, I still am requesting your permission to copy your work, with credit, for purposes of strategy implementation.
I only wish I had seen this at '11pm' instead of 11:58 pm!!!
Sending my full support (sadly, moral only) from the South Pacific! It is a brave move and these times call for brave people to make such moves. We all, on this small globe, rely on the USA to remain as a leading light for good, not creating a leadership vacuum where evil can reside.
