The Dainty once again shows that he has no argument at all.
Tell ya what, you idiot.
Show me one trial held accusing Trump of anything along the lines of “insurrection.” And, of course, also show me that there was any conviction of President Trump.
Obviously, you won’t because you can’t and you can’t because it’s never taken place.
Also, your mistake. Reliance on the self-effectuating nature of the 14th Amendment does not support your position. A trial wouldn’t be needed to show that a confederate soldier had engaged in war against the United States.
But given the American legal principle — enshrined in our Constitution — that a person is presumed innocent in the eyes of the LAW of any crime until and unless his guilt is proved in a court of law via a fair trial, much more is required to invoke the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment than the blather you have relied upon.
The Dainty continues his persistent and endless fail.
Show what you disagree with:
The Electors and President Trump sought this court’s review of various
rulings by the district court. We affirm in part and reverse in part. We hold as
follows:
• The Election Code allows the Electors to challenge President Trump’s
status as a qualified candidate based on Section Three. Indeed, the
Election Code provides the Electors their only viable means of litigating
whether President Trump is disqualified from holding office under
Section Three.
• Congress does not need to pass implementing legislation for Section
Three’s disqualification provision to attach, and Section Three is, in that
sense, self-executing.
• Judicial review of President Trump’s eligibility for office under Section
Three is not precluded by the political question doctrine.
• Section Three encompasses the office of the Presidency and someone
who has taken an oath as President. On this point, the district court
committed reversible error.
• The district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting portions of
Congress’s January 6 Report into evidence at trial.
• The district court did not err in concluding that the events at the U.S.
Capitol on January 6, 2021, constituted an “insurrection.”
• The district court did not err in concluding that President Trump
“engaged in” that insurrection through his personal actions.
• President Trump’s speech inciting the crowd that breached the U.S.
Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not protected by the First Amendment.
The sum of these parts is this: President Trump is disqualified from holding
the office of President under Section Three; because he is disqualified, it would be
a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Secretary to list him as a candidate
on the presidential primary ballot.
We do not reach these conclusions lightly.
