It should still be in the brig!

I saw that. It's Maryland. Gawd only knows.

The conversation on the closed discussion was leaning toward whether Manning is even eligible to serve. Manning was given a commutation, not a full pardon. Doesn't that mean according to the 14th Amendment that it can't serve as an elected official?

"Section 3. 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."

Will Kaitlyn Jenner give its endorsement?

So what?

If you live in MD and don't want her representing you, don't vote for her.

I don't know about that beyond her probably not being someone who is well positioned for earning the privilege to hold high elected office.

He/she/it was found not guilty of aiding the enemy, so I don't think she would be disqualified, but who knows with what lawyers and judges do these days.

You could be right. Neither John Kerry nor John McCain were held responsible for the things they did, and look at them.

"Senator Manning, the President just called and ze is super pissed about that tweet. Can you signal hir and try to work it out?"

 

[whitehall]

The perfect democrat candidate. Everything is a lie including DNA.

The mental illness alone should disqualify him.

Chelsea Manning getting elected to the Senate would be the confirmation of every negative stereotype people have about Democrats and would be the best thing in the world for the GOP.

Did you not mean to say HE? Because it is a he, not a she. And anyone that votes for that traitor should be shot along with manning.

As far as liberals are concerned "it" is positioned just right.
