The problem is our government. It doesn't matter who is in control, if you go down the rabbit hole the truth is money owns our government. Follow the money, find the cause. Chaos is a massive money maker. I think we are watching the decline of democracy as a whole. I hope I am wrong. My question is what will replace it. I don't think whatever does presently exists.

Waters is a product of her upbringing...she lived during Jim Crow and felt the bitterness and hatred of legal racism...her rails against injustice against blacks is personal...she still lives where she grew up and has the support of her peeps...

she's toned her rhetoric down some since her early days in politics in order to go along to get along

Been thinking this out. Here is the First Amendment law applicable to Waters' statements:

In Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969), the Supreme Court established that speech advocating illegal conduct is protected under the First Amendment- unless the speech is likely to incite “imminent lawless action.”

Advocacy of force or criminal activity does not receive First Amendment protections if (1) the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and (2) is likely to incite or produce such action.

Under the "imminent lawless action test" the speaker's speech is not protected by the First Amendment if the speaker:
1)intends to incite a violation of the law
2)the incitement is both imminent and likely.

While I don't condone what Waters said, I think it was protected under the First Amendment because it was not advocating likely or "immanent" action.

In other words, she wasn't inciting/did not incite a riot at the time she made the statements.

Democrats Block Censure Holding Maxine Waters Accountable For Alleged Incitement Remarks

House Democrats blocked a censure of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on Tuesday that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) introduced to hold Waters accountable for inflammatory remarks that she made over the weekend related to the trial of Derek Chauvin.

“Democrats held firm in their support for Waters with all party members voting to ‘table,’ or kill, the censure resolution introduced by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, 216-210,” The Washington Post reported.

Waters said at a protest in Minnesota over the weekend that “protesters” were “looking for a guilty verdict,” and if they don’t get what they want, then “we cannot go away.” Regarding what “protesters” should do if they do not get the verdict that they want, Waters responded that activists have “got to stay on the street,” “get more active,” and “get more confrontational.”

McCarthy announced on Monday that he was introducing a measure to censure Waters, which would have stripped Waters of position as chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee.

“This weekend in Minnesota, Maxine Waters broke the law by violating curfew and then incited violence. Increased unrest has already led to violence against law enforcement and her comments intentionally poured fuel on the fire,” McCarthy said in a statement. “We’ve heard this type of violent rhetoric from Waters before, and the United States Congress must clearly and without reservation reprimand this behavior before more people get hurt. But Speaker Pelosi is ignoring Waters’ behavior. That’s why I am introducing a resolution to censure Rep. Waters for these dangerous comments, and I hope that all my colleagues – both Republican and Democrat – will stand up for peace on America’s streets.”

McCarthy said during a Fox News interview on Monday night that he thought that there was somewhere between 10 and 15 Democrats who would vote to censure Waters over her remarks.

Waters’ remarks sparked a stern rebuke from Judge Peter Cahill, who presided over the George Floyd case. Cahill told the defense that Waters’ remarks could lead to the “whole trial being overturned.”

“I’m aware that Congressman Waters was talking specifically about this trial, and about the unacceptability of anything less than a murder conviction, and talk about being confrontational,” Cahill said. “But you can submit the press articles about that. This goes back to what I’ve been saying from the beginning. I wish elected officials would stop talking about this case, especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law, and to the judicial branch and our function.”

“I think if they want to give their opinions, they should do so in a respectful and in a manner that is consistent with their oath to the Constitution, to respect a co-equal branch of government,” he continued. “Their failure to do so I think is abhorrent, but I don’t think it has prejudices with additional material that would prejudice history, they have been told not to watch the news. I trust they are following those instructions, and that there is not in any way a prejudice to the defendant beyond the articles that we’re talking specifically about the facts of this case. A Congress woman’s opinion really doesn’t matter a whole lot. Anyway, so motion for mistrial is denied.”

So she gets a pass for learning how to run the plays of the KKK in reverse?

Really glad she sat at the foot of Dr. MLK. That leadership didn't get any better.

The DNC is a terrorist organization. That's who they were at their inception, that who they are today and that's what they will be tomorrow. They're not going to change. EVER.

Ya, she's single, lives in a $6 Million dollar mansion in a majority white district, outside of the majority black district she supposedly has been elected over and over again to serve. No one knows how she can afford to live there on a senators salary. Well she's been voted 4 times, One of the Most Corrupt Members of Congress, so we can only guess.
