  1. At least someone in our government is paying attention

  2. Why? It has no chance of going anywhere. Shouting at the sky is as useful.

  3. Potential amendment texts need to be vetted and discussed. Leaving the SCOTUS decision as it stands is not a long term option. Even if Trump is defeated this cycle, sooner or later a president will use it to commit and conceal crimes. We have had more than one president who was constrained by the possibility of discovery and punishment.

    Most US presidents have been honorable men, but *all* of them have been ambitious.

  4. That’s what they should have been doing all along.

  7. In 1838, 23 years before he became President, Lincoln presented his essay titled “Perpetuation of our Political Institutions” to the Young Men’s Lyceum in Springfield Illinois.

    [Please take 20 minutes out of your day to listen to his words.](https://youtu.be/GB6rPqD1Mnw?si=yiNwNiNVXwcRHygj)

    [You can read the essay here](https://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/lyceum.htm)

    Pass this on to ANYONE who claims they are an American. Have them listen to this. Have them hear from Lincoln the dangers of tyranny.

  8. Finally a dem who has pulled themselves out of and off of their ass this week.

  9. Huh, a Democrat.

    I thought the Repugnicans were all about freedom..?

  10. Why do they need an amendment?
    Can they not write a bill defining what constitutes an “official act”, and a bill expanding evidence law to allow communications even from official acts to be used as evidence?

  11. Where ya been Joe? A day late and a BRIBE dollar short.

    This ruling is all about making Project 2025 easier to implement! Again, Dems not keeping their eye on the ball. Are they really on our side?

  12. What if the president wants to assassinate everyone in SCOTUS

  14. An amendment takes a crap load of agreement thst will never happen. Its like one of the hardest things to do. Zero chance this happens before bidens term is up…. Unless the republicans are affraid thst dark Brandon has an ace up his sleeve and will pull it at the last minute. And let’s be honest if drunk can declare a state of emergency so can Biden.

    Still zero chance imo. If trump goes down legally there has to be a list of GQP members that will fall with him. They are worried about their own hides and will make the citizens of the United States suffer to save themselves.

  15. Would this amendment just repeat what was already written in Article I, Section 3 of the US Constitution?

    —-
    The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

    Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

  16. Be alert on independence day please.. I fear the federalist hadn’t intended to give Biden months to stop them. It seems almost too poetic from a Christo fascist perspective, that a coup occur on independence day.

    The project 2025 leader just said that if people cooperate, blood will be avoided. That doesn’t sound like something to say 6 months before they might take power…

  17. Assuming Biden wins, the SCOTUS ruling will be reversed instantly.

  19. Roevember is coming. Register and vote. In Colorado go to govotecolorado.gov to register AND check your registration. Clerks are purging “inactive” voters.

  20. We couldn’t get Congress to pass a vote on whether or not the sky is blue…. Let alone a Constitutional Amendment…. This is grandstanding.

    Raskin did the only practical thing that could be done by Congress with his roundtable.

  21. PACK THE FUCKING COURT.

    this shit is copium. Dollar store copium

  23. He is, of course, aware of what it takes to pass a constitutional amendment.

  24. Good luck with that. Another smoke screen to GRAB votes.

  27. It’s already in the Constitution. They just ignored it. What’s an amendment going to do here if they’ll just decide to ignore that too?

  29. Good thing Dems control the House and Senate. Oh,…damn.

  30. Thanks to all the dems who wouldn’t vote for Hillary. The supreme ct picks Hillary would have had were the most important thing. Now they are talking about not voting for Biden.

  31. First, let’s define “official” 🤣

    Trump jumping the gun again…”yeah, whatever they said, that’s what I did”

    Always looking for loopholes. I read that as assholes.

  32. It’s already in the constitution. Easy to see and in plain English. Then the guy who has the musical wrote about it in the federalist papers. The issue is SCOTUS which Biden should pack.
