The Danger Facing House Speakership

Fran knows me to make connections between sometimes widely diverse observations. Today’s connection is far from diverse. I hope its importance reinforces his inclination of providing me this platform in which to speak out.

Here, in a nutshell, displays the warning of the problem the Uniparty is preparing to exploit.

But wait. The situation is even worse than simply losing votes on bills.

Using my recall of California majority manipulation, I see the potential for a 5 alarm fire being created to thwart President Trump this term. For all stolid Trump worshipers — you better pray he is as expert at 4-D chess as you claim he is. Here is the worrisome precedent from California, the testing ground for all assaults on America as a whole.

“When Willie Brown ran for re-election in 1994, California’s newly-enacted term limits assured that it would be his last stint in the legislature.

Although Brown easily retained his Assembly seat in 1994, Republicans won a one-vote majority in the California State Assembly and it appeared that Willie Brown’s record-setting tenure as Speaker was finally over.

Brown pulled off a remarkable upset, clinging to his leadership of the Assembly by a margin of a single vote, cast by a Republican member whose loyalty Brown had won in an earlier session.

When the Republican dissenter was recalled in a special election, Brown stunned the opposition again, by persuading another Republican member to stand for Speaker against the Republicans’ chosen leader.

Brown’s choice won the votes of all Democrats and a single Republican in the Assembly. When Brown’s chosen successor was also recalled, he persuaded Democrats to support the candidacy of the one Republican [GOPe] who had supported Brown’s choice for Speaker, thereby dooming the hopes of Brown’s Republican rival for a third time.

The Republican majority were forced to withdraw their first choice and elected a fourth Speaker for the brief remainder of the Assembly session.” — https://berggruen.org/people/willie-lewis-brown-jr [emphasis added — PF]

It took me a good deal of searching to get the above details to reinforce my memory. It should surprise nobody that Leftist Wikipaedia provided far less detail. But as you will see, it did end with a far more ominous observation which I will emphasize.

“The 1994 California State Assembly elections were held on November 8, 1994. California’s State Assembly in its entirety comes up for election in even numbered years. Each seat has a two-year term and members are limited to three 2-year terms (six years). All 80 biennially elected seats in the Assembly were up for election this year. Republicans gained a net of eight seats from the Democrats, taking control of the chamber by a slim margin. However, Assemblyman Paul Horcher soon left the party to become an independent, allowing Speaker Willie Brown to remain in power for a few months until Horcher was recalled.
As of 2024, this is the last time the Republicans won control of the California State Assembly.“

And mind you, unlike California, SCOTUS reads the constitution as not permitting recalls of turncoat members of Congress.

We’d better have a lot of people on our side, in addition to President Trump, prepared for all Uniparty treachery that is being set up.

I hope this thought gains some traction and wider notice, because we on the Right need all hands on deck to provide pressure to combat what has a high likelihood of coming our way.
