Il Fatto Quotidiano: Iran, Schlein al governo: “Dovete dire di no già adesso all’utilizzo delle basi, sarebbe contro la Costituzione”

“Noi diciamo no all’autorizzazione delle basi per appoggiare in un nessun modo questa guerra che viola il diritto internazionale. Il punto non è che tornerete qui se ve le chiedono. Dovete dire di no già adesso, perché sarebbe contro l’articolo 11 della Costituzione“. Lo ha detto la segretaria Pd, Elly Schlein, in un passaggio del suo intervento nell’Aula della Camera nel corso delle dichiarazioni di voto sulle risoluzioni relative alle comunicazioni dei ministri degli Esteri e della Difesa, Antonio Tajani e Guido Crosetto, sugli aiuti richiesti dai Paesi del Golfo.”Oggi non basta riferire, oggi serve una linea politica, e non dovevate essere voi a darla, doveva essere qui la presidente del Consiglio Meloni a parlare al Paese, che è giustamente preoccupato”.

Iran, Schlein to govern: “You must say no now already to the use of bases, it would be against the Constitution.”

We say no to authorizing bases to support in any way this war that violates international law. The point is you don’t have to come back here if you’re asked. You must say no now, because it would be against Article 11 of the Constitution.

That’s what Pd Secretary Elly Schlein said in a passage of her speech in the Chamber of Deputies during the voting statements on resolutions related to the communications of Foreign Affairs and Defence Ministers Antonio Tajani and Guido Crosetto regarding the aid requested by the Gulf countries.

“Today it’s not enough to simply report, today we need a political line, and you shouldn’t have been the ones to give it, it should have been Prime Minister Meloni who spoke to the country, which is rightly concerned.”

“Iran, Schlein at the government: ‘You must say no now to the use of bases, it would be against the Constitution’ ” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.

Fact: party democracy serves the malignant interests of corporations before the ethical constitution of the people! Proof: the democratic rights of diverse interests do not have elected representatives or delegates #Proof #PartyDemocracy #TheConstitution #TheRepublic

Remember when #Congress used to pretend the #RuleOfLaw meant something? Remember when #Republican #Senators used to pretend #TheConstitution had to be followed? No.. neither do I

@ReggieHere The case for #TheConstitution is that the rights of corporation succeed those of the people’s interests. Being competitive, the corporations put the investors control and ownership of capital before the people’s interests in it. Hence the growth of corruption and monopolies over the democratic representation and delegation of those interests for and by the people. Republic sovereignty, is not only ethically but morally far greater than Corporate Sovereignty, as the former is sustainable whereas the later drives Nationalist wars, authoritarian purges, civil war and revolutions; tends towards extreme inequality and injustice as is evident from our recent history.

"…the “growing gulf between the #left and #right and the #shrinkingmiddle.”
I want to re-frame this, because it’s a mischaracterization.
When we talk about political ideology, the center of the spectrum in the United States is meant to be #theConstitution and the rule of law. That is the standard, the baseline, the bare minimum of agreement against which the full right-to-left spectrum of policy negotiations and compromises must ultimately be tested.
The gulf that has developed today is not about polarization. The left and right are not migrating further apart. The right has launched off the edge of the chart into violent #authoritarianism. There is no corresponding leftward lurch towards social revolution."

🌿This note has struck a chord and gotten some attention, so I just wanted to say that anyone who wants to share from this note, please feel free, in any way you like :)🌿 Last week, I wrote to my Senator, Angus King, asking him to please focus on three priorities in the new year: 1) Stop invading foreign countries 2) Release the Epstein files 3) Restore ACA subsidies. Senator King wrote me back, because he’s actually really good about answering constituent correspondence. And one of the things he said is that he is increasingly concerned with the “growing gulf between the left and right and the shrinking middle.” I see this argument a lot, actually, from all these avowed “centrists.” And I will tell you, it pisses me off. It’s an entire mischaracterization of this moment in history. This is what I wrote: Senator King, Thank for your recent response. One of the concerns that you expressed was regarding the “growing gulf between the left and right and the shrinking middle.” I want to re-frame this, because it’s a mischaracterization. When we talk about political ideology, the center of the spectrum in the United States is meant to be the Constitution and the rule of law. That is the standard, the baseline, the bare minimum of agreement against which the full right-to-left spectrum of policy negotiations and compromises must ultimately be tested. The gulf that has developed today is not about polarization. The left and right are not migrating further apart. The right has launched off the edge of the chart into violent authoritarianism. There is no corresponding leftward lurch towards social revolution. The overwhelming and growing public reaction, these thousands and millions of protestors flooding the phones and taking to the streets to demand that the law and the Constitution be followed - we ARE the center! I tried to explain this to Congressman Jared Golden, too. He really, really wants me to be a far-left activist extremist. But I’m just a wife and a mom living in a cabin in the Maine woods. We chop firewood for heat, we harvest maple syrup tree by tree, our kids work on local shellfish farms. We are deeply ordinary. But our most basic and fundamental civil rights and liberties are increasingly under assault. If an ICE agent doesn’t like the way I follow their instructions, they will shoot me in the face, call me a f****** b****, and the President will say that according to his own morality in his own mind, that was legal and I deserved it. As I asked Jared months ago, just how far right do you have to travel to start believing that asking elected officials to follow the Constitution and the rule of law is Progressive Activism? We are not far left extremists becoming increasingly polarized. We are masses of Americans asking for adherence to the Constitution and the rule of law. We are asking for the bare minimum. The center is not supposed to be negotiated ever rightward into fascist dictatorship. The center is supposed to be uncompromisingly anchored in the Constitution and the rule of law. This is supposed to be the line of absolute principle. That is why I am disappointed every single time you vote with the regime. It’s not because I’m polarized. It’s because you’re negotiating with people who don’t believe in the center at all. You are negotiating with terrorists. What you are witnessing today is not a shrinking middle. The center is actually growing in a rising tide. Millions of Americans are suddenly deadly aware that every Constitutional right that they thought was firmly enshrined is threatened by one single group of far-right, power-hungry, violent rogue extremists. So if the center is really what you stand for, I have good news for you. Now is your time! The center is the largest it has ever been! Millions of dead-center Americans are as awake, as alert, as active as they have been in a generation. We are demanding the absolute center of political ideologies, and the bare minimum of governance - the restoration of Constitutional democracy. So join us! But understand this about the center. It is not the place for compromise.

#TheConstitution and #RuleOfLaw establish that no man is above the law. The 6 MAGAts on the #SupremeCourt have failed their oaths in making a president immune to law. They should be removed, charged with sedition, convicted, & incarcerated. #FailedRobertsCourt #Politics

this is probably the point I think that bears repeating most.

people get to thinking the signs and slogans and orders and uniforms and a head honcho are what the loyalty is to

rather than an ideal that permits us to form a society and government for our collective benefit

and which we've chosen to formally lay out in a couple documents
