The judge ruled that Caplan did not have a particular legal injury to bring forth a federal lawsuit regarding the former president and the 14th Amendment.
“Plaintiffs lack standing to challenge defendant’s qualifications for seeking the presidency, as the injuries alleged are not cognizable and not particular to them,” the judge wrote, according to The Washington Times.

Caplan had argued in his filing that a clause in the 14th amendment that says those who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the government cannot hold office.

“The bottom line here is that President Trump both engaged in an insurrection and also gave aid and comfort to other individuals who were engaging in such actions, within the clear meaning of those terms as defined in Section Three of the 14th Amendment,” Caplan wrote in the filing, citing the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to The Hill.

“Assuming that the public record to date is accurate, and we have no evidence to the contrary, Trump is no longer eligible to seek the office of the President of the United States, or of any other state of the Union," he continued.

/——/ False accusations notwithstanding.

This ruling is just that the guy went about it the wrong way and it did no fly with this judge.

Trump obviously was instrumental in the capitol riots. But he has not been legally convicted in a court on that particular charge.

Until that happens it will be difficult to bar him from running for office.

Also an easy fix will be to make him lose another election. He has enough court cases to that he will lose that include the classified documents and the insurrection that he was a player in.

So let just crush him in the election then let the courts handle his legal issues.

 

[d0gbreath]

So you are in favor of disenfranchising millions of Trump voters?

Oh Hell yeah!

 

[beautress]

So he didn't have standing...

Says nothing about the merit of his argument.

There is no merit in bringing a lawsuit against an innocent man by hyping up a false scenario created by Democrats to do in a strong conservative President who has always told the truth, no matter how horrific it was and still is. The Democrats are losing honest people from their midst, and will soon be a self-discredited group that founded the Old Liar's Club, from which honest people left long ago, and more are leaving with each and every little self-serving lie they spread to their associate commies in the disgusting MSM press.

The only riots in America have been the BLM shootouts. The Republicans who were not only unarmed, they were exercising their First Amendment Rights. Innocent men and women were sent to jail on the spot and hundreds are still there who did no wrong whatsoever, just mass sent to jail by lying Democrats and me too lower court judges who bought the lies and ignored the truths told by innocent protesters who were merely present along with anger they felt for being lied to for so long by the press and the lying Deep Staters who continually threw mud by making the Republican President their target. Stupid people bought the lies and enjoyed the big party Soros funded in order to destroy the Constitution. Destroying innocent Republicans and a successful President who was servant to the American people was something the jealous Democrats decided to destroy with every lie in the book. Trump's only instructions to the protesters was to protest patriotically and peacefully.

The press, doing its duty to its payors created a false mindset to their followers that the peaceful protest was somehow an outrageous riot and referred to it as the big lie that it was an insurrection. And greasey Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Hillary Rodham and her War Room lackeys, Biden, Schumer, and other deep staters skated on thin ice that is still breaking due to their ponderous weight of lies they told to create chaos against the Constitution of the United States of America, which is unforgivable to people around the world who were given light and hope by the Christian Founders, Patriots all. Christian America has heretofore always benefited the least powerful slaves worldwide since slavery was eliminated here by a cruel world war the Democrats started at Fort Sumpter, South Carolina. At the time, the South thought the war was about unfair treatment of the Southern Democrat Slave owners. They were born and bred into slavery based mostly on race as being the norm for profitable success. When they lost the war, one of them who wanted to make a name for himself, shot President Lincoln who attended a Ford's Theater evening to see the play, "Our American Cousin." It was a bitter pill for the great State of Illinois, not to mention the Northern alliance.

No...you're lying.

You do that a lot.

Oh Hell yeah!

It's a shame you are that much of an unapologetic fascist in this America now.... McCarthy should have been allowed to be successful in ridding the halls of power within Washington long long ago of these communist and/or communist sympathizers.

Most are looking and they are seeing the nefarious manipulativeness in it. Y'all got a lot of explaining to do very soon.

Federal judge dismisses lawsuit claiming Trump can't run for office under the 14th Amendment

The judge ruled that Caplan did not have a particular legal injury to bring forth a federal lawsuit regarding the former president and the 14th Amendment.

The judge ruled that Caplan did not have a particular legal injury to bring forth a federal lawsuit regarding the former president and the 14th Amendment.
“Plaintiffs lack standing to challenge defendant’s qualifications for seeking the presidency, as the injuries alleged are not cognizable and not particular to them,” the judge wrote, according to The Washington Times.

Caplan had argued in his filing that a clause in the 14th amendment that says those who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the government cannot hold office.

“The bottom line here is that President Trump both engaged in an insurrection and also gave aid and comfort to other individuals who were engaging in such actions, within the clear meaning of those terms as defined in Section Three of the 14th Amendment,” Caplan wrote in the filing, citing the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to The Hill.

“Assuming that the public record to date is accurate, and we have no evidence to the contrary, Trump is no longer eligible to seek the office of the President of the United States, or of any other state of the Union," he continued.

The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, specifically Section 3, deals with issues related to treason and disqualification from public office.

Section 3 states:"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."

In simpler terms, this section states that individuals who have taken an oath to support the Constitution but have engaged in insurrection, rebellion, or provided assistance to enemies of the United States, are disqualified from holding public office.

This disqualification extends to being a Senator, Representative, elector of the President or Vice President, or holding any civil or military office under the U.S. or any state government.

However, Congress has the power to remove this disqualification by a two-thirds majority vote in each house, meaning that there is a pathway for individuals who have previously engaged in insurrection or rebellion to have their eligibility for public office restored.

Now it's crystal clear, isn't it?

Fair post... Not sure where the idea is coming from that weapon's weren't among the citizen's at the capital on that day.

My opinion is for people on all sides to get a grip, because playing the same games doesn't do anything but cancel each other out. The truth needs to be focused on no matter where it lay.

Regardless of the activities of individuals at the capital on that day, to try and use any of it against Trump because he is a political rival is ridiculous and just plain stupid, unless maybe a smoking gun can be produced.

Highly unlikely.

I'm standing with Trump that he intended for the voices to be heard just like with the so called peaceful Democrat's protest (the ones that are peaceful), over various political and domestic issues, but I'm not for either side resorting to violence, and especially so if find that upper leadership's may have been calling for it.

Again "HIGHLY UNLIKELY" on J6.

Now in regards to the riot's, it definitely could be found out maybe, that their were leader's who were encouraging and instigating violence over judicial and due process in those riots.

Why haven't those people been pursued in the extreme ? We all know why...

Kamala Harris was bailing them out, and Maxine Waters was making irresponsible speak that could be construed as calling for violence against her political enemies, Chuck Schumer was making unethical statements along with many politicians and leftist activist who were getting caught up in the may lays or violence projecting frenzies.
