Why are the 13 senators and several dozen republican house reps called the Jim Crow Caucus? Because their act of insurrection in attempting to overthrow the Electoral College is specifically intended to disfranchise black votes and voters that defeated Trump black and brown...

...voters in places like Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Milwaukee.

But while there is a specifically racist goal and intent behind their actions, they are also willing to defraud and disfranchise millions of white voters to achieve their objective.

The treacherous actions of these people are patently and completely anti-democratic and anti-republican.

This violates the constitution in practically every way imaginable starting from Article 1 (including their oath of office), as well as the 14th and 15th amendments.

Additionally, it wasn't too long ago that many of the same people claimed to be champions of states rights. But because the constitution specifically leaves the administration of elections to the states, their desire to interfere with the states on election administration and...

...certification makes them liars and about one of their most fundamental beliefs.

When viewed through this lens, it's hard to see the actions statements and positions of these republican senators and house reps any different from those of the people who ended the post-Civil War Reconstruction period and reinstituted de facto perpetual servitude in America.

That's why these senators and house reps must be publicly discredited and thrown out as soon as possible. Denying peole the right to vote is a direct betrayal of the constitution.

People who directly and overtly contradict the will of the voters will not defend it the constitution or the people who rely on it in any way.
