Foreword - The Constitution of the United States says clearly in Article II, Section 2: ” [The President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint…Judges of the Supreme Court.” President Trump is empowered by the Constitution, therefore those persons who threaten violence to prevent a top government representative from carrying out his duty are guilty of sedition. 18 U.S. Code § 2384 says, “If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.”
Pie G. made a bold prediction earlier in the article titled, You Ain’t Seen Nothin Yet.” Read that first if you haven’t already then read this. Look’s like Pie has a crystal ball.

LIBERAL writers and academics have threatened to burn down Congress if Republicans press ahead with plans to appoint a new Supreme Court judge before the election.
A former CNN host was among prominent figures who appeared to encourage violent uprising following the death of left-wing hero Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 
Former CNN host Reza Aslan joined several other verified Twitter accounts in threatening violence if Senate Republicans attempt to fill the Supreme Court seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“Over our dead bodies. Literally,” Aslan wrote in response to a tweet saying Sen. Mitch McConnell intends to fill Ginsberg’s seat, shortly after it was announced Friday that she had died at the age of 87.
Aslan also tweeted, “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f–king thing down.”
“If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots,” Washington Post and GQ writer Laura Bassett said.
Justice Ginsburg’s death on Friday left a vacancy on the Supreme Court – setting up an explosive battle over one of the most contentious issues in American politics.
Democrats are furious after Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell suggested the GOP would hold an early vote to confirm Donald Trump’s pick to replace her with a conservative.
Outspoken Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even suggested Democrats would try to pack the court with liberals by increasing the number of judges from the current nine.
As fury raged in Washington, high-profile leftists hinted at violent insurrection in posts on social media.
Trump-bashing former CNN presenter Reza Aslan tweeted to his 293,000 followers: “If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire f***ing thing down.”
Screenwriter Beau Willimon, who produced House of Cards and is the president of the Writers Guild of America, East, also vowed action. He told his 164,000 followers: “We’re shutting this country down if Trump and McConnell try to ram through an appointment before the election.”
‘THERE WILL BE RIOTS’
Emmett Macfarlane, a professor at the University of Waterloo in Canada, tweeted: “Burn Congress down before letting Trump try to appoint anyone to SCOTUS.”
Political commentator Laura Bassett, who writes for GQ and the Washington Post, said: “If McConnell jams someone through, which he will, there will be riots.”
Daddy Files author Aaron Gouveia tweeted: “F*** no. Burn it all down.”
Last night Ocasio-Cortez said Republicans were “violating” Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish that she should not be replaced until the next president is sworn in.
The firebrand congresswoman stoked the row still further by saying Democrats should “absolutely” consider packing the court.
She said: “We should leave all options on the table, including the number of justices that are on the Supreme Court.”
Democrat nominee Joe Biden is due to make a speech on the subject later today, but has so far resisted Trump’s call for him to name his own shortlist.
