This is not legal under OUR Constitution. We’re NOT the UK…the Revolutionary War set us FREE from their oppression and mandates and rule. No, the Supreme Court needs to step in and stop this. The Dem’s do not want to lose power and they’re doing all they can to keep President Trump from turning America around because the Dem’s were destroying her and, by God’s mercy and His grace, He has interrupted their plans once again. We need to stand firm in prayer and against the enemy’s schemes and pray this down!
Divisive….working in the shadows as does satan……….
I am praying and standing in the go for our nation.
We pray for unity and understanding in our congressional members and may they come to know that according to Psalm 33:10 (NLT)
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.
May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in our leadership, Lord!
In Jesus’s mighty name we ask.
NO weapon(s) formed against thee shall prosper; EVERY tongue that rises against in judgement against thee shall be condemned”
LORD JESUS, you didn’t say that the weapons wouldn’t form, you said that they shall not prosper! May every single thing that the wicked have planned/are planning FALL FRUITLESS TO THE GROUND
the mighty matchless name of our LORD and Risen savior, JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH OF THE HOLY BIBLE.
I pray for God’s hand on this, God is the ultimate power. I pray for unity of our government to work together with our new president Trump. God is the ultimate power. I pray that any plans of the enemy the devil will fail. And may we God’s people that are called by his name may we humble ourselves and pray, and seek his face and turn from our wicked ways that He will come and heal our land. Father God be with Trump and guide him that he will seek your counsel for all decisions and all his plans in Jesus mighty powerful name amen.
Democrats need to accept the loss and not complicate a presidency that is not theirs to serve in. President Trump has an amazing plan in place and it does not include a “Shadow Cabinet”. We did not vote Democrats into any office and it would be a huge mistake if this type of shadowing was accepted. It’s time for them to step aside and let what the people voted for, to take place.
Dear Lord, I pray that you would help expose this illegitimate fourth branch of government, and give Your wisdom and guidance to President Trump and his team so that they would dismantle and disable its disruptive ways. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
I’m sorry but praying for Democrats to act nice and work with the Republicans is like expecting the leopard to change his spots. They think that “working with Republicans” means that Republicans do what they want. The purpose of this powerless shadow cabinet is to obstruct the good the incoming government is planning. I’ll pray instead that the Republicans are aware of the wiles of the devil and act with wisdom.
I pray that does not happen 🥺
Our U S Constitution doesn’t allow for this. We are a Republic and not a Parliament government.
It could be seen as an act of war against the United States of America.
If it was tried, then those attempting it should be removed from office.
Article 1, Section 5 is the basis for being able to remove members of Congress.
While this would be a lengthy process, it would inflict a significant amount of burden on those members who would try this.
Those states who have the ability to recall their members could exercise this and vote out the member of Congress.
Let there be no shadow cabinet for the purpose of opposition and slowing down what is good for the country. We forbid this divisiveness, arrogance, pride and disunity, in the Mighty Name of Jesus!!!
How would this be any different from the way they oppose Trump and vote against him now???
It’s evil to the 10th & beyond to say the lease. It’s really nothing new! The deep state/administrative state is the core reason for wide spread election corruption & we must not let it prevail. Part of DJT’s agenda is to absolutely not allow this to happen & hopefully it won’t with The Lord’s help.
Amen
