Andy briefly discusses the latest COVID outbreak in China, tests a new mic on this episode, and is still thinking about the batteries in his carbon monoxide detector when he discusses getting vaccinated and wearing masks to protect yourself and others (this will be self-explanatory when you hear it...DOH!)Former Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that the Republicans had a candidate quality problem in the 2020 mid-term elections, which didn't provide the red wave they were expecting. That candidate quality problem goes back much further than the 2020 mid-terms, however. That's because a large number of Republicans in the House of Representatives and Senate voted to overturn the democratically elected government of the United States of America back in 2021.That act specifically violates the 14th Amendment (Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office) to the U.S. Constitution which says: "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."And many of these same folks are about to renew their oath of office in January 2023. That's a problem.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/federal-andy/message
