Keeping Trump off the ballot disenfranchises NO ONE

[Crick]

The Supreme Court will soon agree with me. That makes you the ignorant one.

I'm afraid that's not going to help you one bit.

 

[tahuyaman]

No, but you're blitheringly ignorant.

You are not a smart person.

The commies need all the help they can get what with Biden's continuing descent into senility and the Georgia prosecutor scandal.
Scams and cheats are just part of their wacky religion.

If we put the public statements and speeches of Joe Biden and Don Trump up side by side, it's not Biden that's the worrisome one.

Lincoln declared it an insurrection, but technically it wasn’t. It was an attempt by the confederacy to leave the Union. Not overthrow it.

By leaving the Union, they would destroy the Union. If a bomb blows your house into two pieces, you haven't got a house anymore, do you.

 

[Crick]

You are not a smart person.

I don't have to be smart to stand out in this ******* crowd.

 

[Grumpyolman]

If we put the public statements and speeches of Joe Biden and Don Trump up side by side, it's not Biden that's the worrisome one.

Trump expresses his own ideas in his speeches. Biden just reads the teleprompter. Poorly.

 

[Hum Dinger]

Trump expresses his own ideas in his speeches. Biden just reads the teleprompter. Poorly.

That would be fine, except for the fact that Trump is a flaming idiot!

No election commission is going to waste their time including someone in an election that can't hold the office.

The election commission is first and foremost, charged with protecting the right of the people to vote.
The people have the -absolute- right to vote for , literally, anyone; leaving a person who cannot hold an office off the ballot protects, literally, no one.

 

[BS Filter]

I'm afraid that's not going to help you one bit.

I don't need any help. You're the one here that's confused.

 

[BackAgain]

I don't have to be smart to stand out in this ******* crowd.

You stand out lately as one of the most laughable village idiots.

 

[M14 Shooter]

I don't have to be smart to stand out in this ******* crowd.

Funny then, how you cannot meaningfully respond to valid criticisms of your argument.

 

[Cellblock2429]

You should write that on your pacifier before you go to bed tonight.

Scared as heck’​

Trump’s pursuit of a strongman presidency has some Democrats worried. Vice President Kamala Harris confessed this week she was “scared as heck” that Trump could win in November.

The Maine State Constitution explicitly gives her the power to determine candidate eligibility.

This is a lie; no such explicit constitutional authorization exists.

According to Merriam-Websters and Cambridge, he is correct. When a system unfairly removed a candidate that The People were waiting to vote for then that is exactly a case of disenfranchising those voters --except for the states that have a law saying voters do NOT get to vote for candidates who represent their interests as voters MUST vote for candidates who state GOVT feel represents their interests. Which appears to be Colorado and Maine, so far.

Sorry, but that's bullshit.

In both cases it is the loss of the RIGHT to vote, not the loss of a potential candidate

Since this is a Federal issue, where you continue to cite a Federal Code within 14/3 ...can you show where 14/3 gives notice or gives list of the bodies which get to deem a candidate as an insurrectionist??
iow
Can you show anything in 14/3 that can be interpreted as any Supreme Court of State or any Sec'y of State, can deem a candidate as an insurrectionist?

I have already provided you the full text of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. So, apparently, no.

I cannot make that call, to determine what some other human should feel is easy or hard to find. I especially cannot make that call, where I see a human publicly say they searched for info and could not find it. If I do that, then I am part of the problem.

The trouble is that I come less and less to believe that you are being honest with us.

If you can acknowledge that the spirit of the Laws, is for us to vote for candidates who represent our interests then it is illogical that a universality of choice should mean... states get to say, vote for who all we make available to you ---excluding those who qualified under the Constitution but we did not want them listed on the ballot.

Unfortunately, you seem to know so little of the law and of the US Constitution that I cannot credit your discernment of its "Spirit" with any accuracy. States do have a great deal to say about how federal elections are run; almost everything, as a matter of fact. Do us all a favor and bone up on the Constitution some. Just a little. Please.

Naturally. Yaor logic is so much more airtight than a Harvard Law professor.

That there were no meat or potatoes is not a criticism of the author's logic but your choice of post content

There was no insurrection on Jan 6th. Trump never declared that he was overthrowing the country. However, he did say the it was a peaceful and patriotic protest. You know, like BLM.

Nine federal judges have now concluded that Trump did commit insurrection. BLM conducted peaceful social protest.

 

[Crick]

Who determines when a demonstration is an insurrection or a protest?

Courts of law.

 

[Crick]

Trump wasn't as bad as Biden. Biden is in cognitive decline. You can see that, can't you?

Trump is much worse than Biden. And Trump is beginning from a place of serious ignorance regarding governing, history, geography, human events and world affairs while Biden, through years of political service, is expert in all those fields.

One of the opposing arguments is that congress has to weigh in on disqualifying someone. First this is ridiculous from the sheer number of offices in the country they would have to weigh in on (over 10,000), or the number of people they would meed to hold hearings on.
And most importantly, the schizophrenic idea of congress having to disqualify someone by a majority vote, and then the power to remove that disqualification by a 2/3rds vote of both houses.
Since that makes no sense, congresses role is singular.

There is currently only a singe candidate for a single office in question. If Congress can't get a 2/3rds majority to waive the restriction for that individual, then the restriction stands. And I think you are misunderstanding something. The only role of Congres is to waive the restriction by a 2/3rds vote and allow the subject individual to hold office.

BLM riots cost is in the billions. Do you know how many Americans lost their business? No one lost their business on January 6th. A few politicians got frightened. You seem to care more for a few politicians than your fellow Americans.
