Forget the Trump trials. He might already be ineligible for 2024.

With what part of FEDERALIST SOCIETY do you struggle?
If you have the courage to read something that disagrees with your Trump hysteria, here's a source that includes your Federalist Society argument. I'm not trying to convince you of anything - pretty sure that's impossible - but for those with a more open mind:


This guy is an uber-liberal but he's not a Marxist, and those who are unwilling to take the opinion of a professor emeritus at Harvard Law are simply politically blind hacks.
 
It just got real...

But there’s a serious argument that, separate from any criminal charges, Trump is constitutionally disqualified from returning to the White House because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol. And if the Constitution bars him from the presidency, then he’s not entitled to be on the ballot, and it becomes the job of state election officials to keep him off.

Two prominent conservative scholars have added their voices — and, more important, their extensive analysis of the relevant historical record — in support of this argument. They conclude that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was adopted after the Civil War to prohibit former federal officeholders who joined the Confederacy from holding office again, applies broadly to any “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States and not solely to the South’s secession from the Union.....

These scholars explain in a forthcoming law review article that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was an insurrection within the meaning of this clause and, crucially, that Trump engaged in this insurrection within the clause’s meaning, by both fomenting it and failing to exercise his presidential powers to stop it once it was underway. Refuting the view that the president is not an “officer” to whom this provision applies, these scholars cogently note that John Tyler was a former president and John Breckinridge a former vice president who both joined the Confederacy, and surely the framers of the 14th Amendment intended its disqualification from future office to apply to the likes of them.

Two prominent conservative law professors have concluded that Donald J. Trump is ineligible to be president under a provision of the Constitution that bars people who have engaged in an insurrection from holding government office. The professors are active members of the Federalist Society, the conservative legal group, and proponents of originalism, the method of interpretation that seeks to determine the Constitution’s original meaning.


The professors — William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas — studied the question for more than a year and detailed their findings in a long article to be published next year in The University of Pennsylvania Law Review.

Conservative Case Emerges to Disqualify Trump for Role on Jan. 6

This is the Federalist Society - the litmus test of any GOP nominee for a judgeship or leadership of the DoJ. They have provided Trump with the list of names from which someone helps him find a nominee.

Check any conservative federal judges bio of the past 25 years, and they will be members.

This is a very public split....it appears as if the Society is reapplying for admission into Civil Society by establishing a distance between themselves and the zombie cult that the GOP has become.
^^^This is what desperation looks like.

"We keep attacking him...but it just makes him stronger!?!" 😭 😭 😭

"Just listen to our propaganda, believe our propaganda, fall in line, and do what we fucking want you to do!!!" 😡 😡 😡

"This has always worked before?!? WTF is going on???" 😕 😡 😢

Never mind Biden and Dem's border actions and policies resulting in over 200,000 dead Americans is a much stronger 14th amendment argument that none of those Dem rat bastards should hold office.

Dershowitz is simply wrong. Regardless of the reasons it was put into the Constitution, it is in fact, still in the Constitution and will apply to anyone who commits insurrection or rebellion OR gives aid and comfort to those who do.

Just google Federalist Society...

THis bullshit about "leftists and liberals" isn't gonna wash anymore...
 
Already debated and put to rest... the selection of who the next president will be lays with the people not some out of control prosecutor grand jury and judge....

Good article here.


Among the guests was one-time Bill Clinton adviser Dick Morris, who insisted that Trump will be elected the 47th president of the United States, but he will win election from behind bars. “He’s gonna be convicted,” Morris said. “And he’s gonna go to prison.”

Morris’s interlocutors seemed dumbfounded by the stark language he used to describe the sequence of events that tends to follow a criminal conviction. Everyone else involved quickly scurried away from Morris’s conclusion, but the moment was notable as a brief but blinding flash of clarity. It stands out as a rare example of center-right opinion makers grappling with the political circumstances with which they are now confronted. For Trump and those who hope to see him retake the White House, those circumstances are bleak.


Trump will spend the months leading up to the 2024 general election in and out of courtrooms. He is due in court to argue against a civil fraud accusation and a defamation case on January 15 and January 29, 2024, respectively. On May 20, 2024, he will be in Florida defending himself against the criminal allegation that he mishandled classified documents and misled investigators. Special counsel Jack Smith seeks a January 2, 2024, trial date for the case involving the former president’s conduct leading up to and culminating in the events of January 6, 2021. Arguments against Trump in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s case are set to begin on March 25 of next year, and Fulton County DA Fanni Willis wants her prosecution of the former president to begin “in the next six months.”

Even assuming some of these dates could still be postponed, they are unlikely to all be pushed beyond the presidential election. And they will dominate the nation’s headlines during the campaign. Voters will be bombarded with evidence presented at trial, the oral arguments attorneys make on behalf of the state and the defendant, and reporters’ assessments of how judges and jurors alike responded to the day’s testimony. Trump’s distinct legal woes will congeal in voters’ minds into one undifferentiated procedural drama, and Americans love a good procedural drama. They and the press will follow every minute of it to the exclusion of the issues on which Americans might otherwise vote in 2024.
