[Dragonlady]

Republican activists and constitutional law specialists are looking to commence a legal action to be taken to the Supreme Court ahead of the 2024 election, disqualifying Donald Trump from the 2024 Presidential election underr Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

The groups are looking for a red state to strike Trump's name from the ballot. This will trigger an immediate law suit from individuals with standing, to keep him on the ballot, and the case will be designed to go to the SC, in advance of the election.

Trump is toast.

Show me the man, I will show you the crime.
This will be a difficult uphill battle, as there hasn't been a trial.

We'll see, I mean hell......you've been right so often in the past.

 

[Road Runner]

They're not Republicans. They're RINOS.

 

[scruffy]

lol

Good luck with that.

 

[Road Runner]

All this is doing is showing how strong of a candidate Trump is. The democrats all seem to have their panties soiled because he's running again and going to win for the third time.

Sounds like a long shot, but why not try it.

Except the wording of the 14th Amendment doesn't REQUIRE a trial.

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.

Now, in some ways, this is kind of dubious, and even at the time, it wasn't enforced.

The only non-Civil War application of this clause was when a German-American Socialist congressman from Wisconsin was tried for "espionage" for opposing war against Germany in WWI. The Supreme Court struck it down and he was returned to his seat in 1922.

All that said, I'm all for filing these actions in every state possible. Not only to make Trump burn up his resources fighting them, but to remind everyone what this guy did.

Yup. We got nothing to lose by trying

Insurrection? Nope Riot? Yup

The actual trial will clear Trump

What standing do you think they have, Moron?

 

[MisterBeale]

We'll see, I mean hell......you've been right so often in the past.

All these legal strategies, do seem a bit reminiscent of those impeachment strategies, now that you mention it. . .

 

[BluesLegend]

The anti Trump desperation and fear of letting voters decide is delicious.

There doesn't need to be a trial and he doesn't need to be convicted of anything. His failure to send help to the Capitol for 5 hours after the insurrection started, and his tweet to the mob that Mike Pence had betrayed him, is all the evidence the SC needs that Trump gave aid and comfort to a Rebellion, in violation of his oath to uphold the Constitution.

There have already been hundreds of convictions and judges legal opinions and decisions that an insurrection occurred. Proof that Trump encouraged it exists in the public record - that Tweet.

Trump doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Here's the thing, He wasn't part of any "insurrection", and a trial will prove that out.
No SC will fall for that.

Your desperation is pathetic.
Who is "we", just curious.

 

[Rambunctious]

Sounds like a long shot, but why not try it.

Because its the wrong thing to do and its not in line with our values to keep a popular man off the ballot because you can't beat him....
If this becomes normal it will happen to you one day....

 

[Zincwarrior]

They're not Republicans. They're RINOS.

You are not a Republican. You are MAGA.

 

[Nostra]

These morons don’t have standing.
