Minnesota is trying to rig the 2024 election


The case centers around the Fourteenth Amendment, specifically Section 3’s “Insurrection Clause.” Plaintiffs argue President Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, disqualify him from appearing on the ballot.
Similar lawsuits have been filed in other states, including Colorado, where a state trial judge heard arguments all week.
The Supreme Court has never ruled on this provision of the Fourteenth Amendment, leading to the novel approach to use it to keep Trump off the ballot.

Trump’s attorneys argue that the amendment does not apply to presidents. The text of the amendment references Senators, Representatives, and Presidential electors, as well as other federal officials, but not the presidents.

The oath the amendment specifies, which is sworn by those listed officials, is not the same oath sworn by presidents. The presidential oath is prescribed separately in the Constitution.

Trump’s attorneys further argue that neither Minnesota law nor federal law allow the courts to strike a candidate from the ballot.

Specific to Trump’s case, his legal team insists that what occurred on January 6, 2001 was not an insurrection and that Trump himself was not responsible.

Comment:
The Crazy Democrat Cult claims that they are saving our "democracy".
Their version of "democracy" means removing opponents from the ballot, rigged elections, mass voter fraud, ballot stuffing, neo-marxist one party rule, police state surveillance and suppression....

Interesting. The same people who scream that the Second Amendment is absolute and inviolate, are the same people who are now arguing the Constitution doesn’t apply.

The Constitution is not a Buffet. You don’t go down the line and pick the parts you like and ignore the rest. The Constitution is a Tapestry. You need to understand that if you pick at one thread you weaken and damage the whole structure.

If we start doing that, how long before a part you like is picked at in a way you find intolerable? I’m betting not long.
 
Maybe I am dense, but what about the IPVC is unconstitutional? There's nothing in the Constitution specifying that the popular vote winner in each state automatically gets that state's electoral votes.
So you don’t believe in democracy then. Thank you for letting us know the real heart and mind of most Democrats. Will communism or fascism work best for you Democrats? Which one would you be most happy with?

Guess what ? If they go through legal channels, it’s not rigging.

People are arguing that the text of the Constitution doesn't support blocking Trump from the ballot.
 
Meanwhile, here in Florida, the State Democratic Party will not allow anyone on the primary ballot to run against Biden.
The Democratic Party needs to be more democratic! A revolution inside the Party is brewing the Convention maybe a wild affairs.

They won’t allow a democrat. Why should they ? If anyone wants to run as an independent they can. Big deal.
