Who In America Has a Right to Call Whom an Insurrectionist These Days?

In light of the recent decision by the Colorado Supreme Court, a friend recently asked me an interesting hypothetical question: if fraud and other means of chicanery were found to have been employed by insurrectionists to unlawfully upend the results of our nation’s 2020 election process, would that unlawful regime of insurrectionists have the moral authority to prosecute patriots for exactly that of which their regime is itself guilty -- insurrection?

Wouldn’t that confront America with a bit of a conundrum?

That is, is it possible we could now have a government that -- akin to the empire of King Biden … err, King George -- would prosecute those who -- like our founding fathers -- might find themselves impelled some day soon to sign a document akin to the Declaration of Independence?

For instance, something like the following:

A Declaration of Liberty

(Hypothetical)

Part I -- The Foundation

This document is to accurately set forth some of the current events that have caused those who have affixed their signatures hereto to firmly believe they could soon find themselves compelled to lawfully and peacefully declare their freedom from the unlawful shackles of an illicit government.

As a necessary predicate for them to establish in the court of world opinion the legitimacy of such a declaration, the undersigned hereby commence by reaffirming the following truths to be self-evident:

•     All human beings are created equal;

•     All their lives matter ... including those of the not-yet-born;

•     They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, which include the rights of all people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness;

•     To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; and

•     Such a just government must be one restrained by, in compliance with and submissive to both the Constitution of the United States of America, as amended, and to the divinely inspired Rule of Law upon which it was founded.

But, alas, that is not the case presently before the people of the United States.

For the truth is that the government presently vested with power unlawfully seized by means of fraud and other chicanery -- amounting to domestic insurrection -- has exercised that recently acquired power to put in place a train of abuses and usurpations that have only evinced a common design to institutionalize a tyranny that is unfit to rule a free people.  

Part II -- Our Grievances

To prove this, let the following facts and circumstances be submitted openly to a candid world:
