  1. Remember this Amendment was written by Republicans.

    The idea to use this Amendment was written by Republican judges.

    And as far as I know, the people who keep bringing these cases in the states to take Trump off the ballot are Republican voters.

    >No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

    If we are in business of ignoring ratified Amendments to the Constitution. Then why not ignore all of them?

  2. True but you got the pay to play supreme Court to deal with 💩

  3. It’d be really clear if we’d of ‘tarred and feathered’ his bulbous ass.

  4. Trump’s lawyers are going to lean hard on the argument that only Congress can enforce the 14th amendment.

    This is nonsense, of course. The Constitution belongs to all of us, including the States.

    See, e.g., *Gebhart v. Belton*, 87 A.2d 862 (Del. Ch.1952) (Delaware Court of Chancery found that the racial segregation of public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment)

  5. He made three attempts to overturn the elections

  6. All federal judges could sign on saying Trump is disqualified based on the 14th amendment, but it doesn’t matter when the current Supreme Court made up of Justices that have been bought and paid for.

  7. Clear to anyone. With the exception of SCOTUS who are told to reinstate him and of course will.

  8. It actually could. It could define whether mere accusation or an actual conviction on federal charges is required. Until then, that will surely be argued before SCOTUS

  9. Clearly I’ve spent too much time following this story, because I can pretty much always identify the unnamed expert in the headline by their description – sheesh.

  10. If you are going to ignore the 14th amendment, you might as well ignore the 2nd amendment as well. It was written in a different time too and has lost most of its meaning today.

  11. This sub would have no content if slartickes based on speculation from the most random people were banned.

    Let me know when current federal judges say it couldn’t be any clearer
