Would Palpatine still have taken over the Republic if Jar Jar Binks didn't give him emergency powers?

[Messianic_Monk]

Title says all. I was talking about the Star Wars prequel trilogy with some of my friends and we brought up Jar Jar Binks. I was looking for an excuse for the Jedi to be justified in killing him, so my justification was that he gave emergency powers to Palpatine, and therefore merited execution. Now my friends turned around and said that it was inevitable. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Let me rephrase this: if Jar Jar didn't suggest the idea of giving emergency powers to Palpatine, would either a) the senate would have not given that power to him, thwarting Palpatine's chances of becoming emperor, b) some other senator would've suggested the idea and Palpatine would've become emperor anyways,

Inevitable? Nothing is, really. But Palpatine probably would've still taken power; just not in that particular way at that particular time. The man is very patient and very adaptable; he's not going to give up just because one attempt failed.

It doesn't make any sense. The Senate gave Palpatine his emergency powers, which he was supposed to give back once the war was over.

Jar-Jar is just one senator among thousands.

[Messianic_Monk]

it was jar jar who suggested it.

And?

It would be like blaming McCarthy for granting Biden emergency powers, when he only has one vote in Congress.

[Messianic_Monk]

I guess my point is this: if Jar Jar doesn't suggest it, would any other senator think about giving him emergency powers? It is kind of an insane idea.

Obviously everyone gets one vote.

I'm also not going to go into the whole Jar Jar sith Lord thing because it's not Canon

That simply makes no sense. Binks is a buffoon character in Star Wars. To suggest he has influence over anyone isn't really rational. The reason why his position has any sway at all had to do with the manipulation of the Senate by the Sith Lord himself. He had been guiding the Senate to this decision all along. It was he who convinced the Trade Federation invade Naboo. It was he who was behind Count Dooku's separatist government attempt to cede leading to the Clone Wars.

I mean dag. . . the whole point was to create a conflict, that made the current Chancellor look weak. Get him deposed, take his place, then create another conflict to granted emergency powers. Because at that point, everyone had the appetite for a "strong" Chancellor.

But it at all cultivated by manipulating people into giving him absolute power, which he lied and never returned to the Senate.

But he needed to create the conflict leading to the destruction of the democracy that the Senate was leading to his reign as Emperor.
