“The Constitution Prohibits Trump From Ever Being President Again”
True.
But a corrupt and partisan Supreme Court will ignore that fact.
The problem with your silly, "... because I say so", whining is that it's comically ineffectual.

“The Constitution Prohibits Trump From Ever Being President Again”
True.
But a corrupt and partisan Supreme Court will ignore that fact.
J. Michael Luttig is a former federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
Laurence H. Tribe is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor of Constitutional Law Emeritus at Harvard University.
The only question is whether American citizens today can uphold that commitment.
As students of the United States Constitution for many decades—one of us as a U.S. Court of Appeals judge, the other as a professor of constitutional law, and both as constitutional advocates, scholars, and practitioners—we long ago came to the conclusion that the Fourteenth Amendment, the amendment ratified in 1868 that represents our nation’s second founding and a new birth of freedom, contains within it a protection against the dissolution of the republic by a treasonous president.
This protection, embodied in the amendment’s often-overlooked Section 3, automatically excludes from future office and position of power in the United States government—and also from any equivalent office and position of power in the sovereign states and their subdivisions—any person who has taken an oath to support and defend our Constitution and thereafter rebels against that sacred charter, either through overt insurrection or by giving aid or comfort to the Constitution’s enemies.
The historically unprecedented federal and state indictments of former President Donald Trump have prompted many to ask whether his conviction pursuant to any or all of these indictments would be either necessary or sufficient to deny him the office of the presidency in 2024.
Trump Is Constitutionally Prohibited From the Presidency
I agree with Luttig and Tribe. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution seem clear to me! What will SCOTUS do? What do you think?
You know what I find interesting.It’s amazing what highly credentialed lawyers and judges will say when hate is a motivating factor…
the civil war was somewhat different than that confrontation on jan 6.......The only way out of this is for the US Supreme Court to formally rule on whether January 6, 2021 was an Insurrection at law.
If they rule that January 6, 2021 was NOT an Insurrection at law, then Trump can go back on the ballot.
If they rule that January 6, 2021 WAS an Insurrection at law, then Trump will stay OFF the ballot.
Without formal charges of "Insurrection"? Yes.
Without a conviction on such charges? Yes.
Precedent?
A great many Confederates were prohibited from ever again holding office merely by PARTICIPATING in Insurrection.
Even though they were never formally charged or convicted.
Fast-forward 150 years or so, and that same safeguard may be conveniently applied here.
its only corrupt and partisan if they dont rule your way....right jones?....“The Constitution Prohibits Trump From Ever Being President Again”

Merely a matter of degree.the civil war was somewhat different than that confrontation on jan 6.......

Sleepy Old Uncle Joe would never had made it this far if your Orange Baboon-God wasn't such an autocrat and a$$hole.The Constitution tells us about freedom. And we have a collectivism installed potentate at the White House.

a matter of degree?....how long did the Civil war last and how many died compared to that small riot on Jan 6th?...Merely a matter of degree.
In both cases we are talking about violence against the United States in order to cancel or forestall Federal proceedings.
If the United States Supreme Court determines that Jan 6th meets that particular "sniff test" then that's the end of it.

It doesn't matter if the Civil War lasted for a thousand years and January 6th only lasted for a thousand seconds...a matter of degree?....how long did the Civil war last and how many died compared to that small riot on Jan 6th?...

I will accept their ruling. So will you.It doesn't matter if the Civil War lasted for a thousand years and January 6th only lasted for a thousand seconds...
If the Supreme Court rules that January 6, 2021 meets the legal criteria to be defined as an Insurrection, then that's the end of it...
This is a matter of law... of legal definitions... not scale nor equivalency...
Law...
I am content to let the Supreme Court... our highest arbiter OF The Law... rule on this matter...
I will accept their ruling.
So will you.
Wow, how scared are these american hating democrats? So scared they will do anything and i mean anything to prevent his return to the white house. Are you an American or a Democrat .
