Conservative Case Emerges to Disqualify Trump for Role on Jan. 6

Yes and I would respectfully correct that phrase to: "Innocent UNLESS proven guilty."

And you would be WRONG. O.J. Simpson was acquited in criminal court, but convicted in civil court.

Do you think OJ is "innocent" of those murders???

All I know is that OJ was found not guilty in a criminal court of law and that everyone is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. A civil court has a much lower bar than a criminal court, one can be found 'not guilty' of a crime and still face a civil lawsuit.

Do you apply this notion to Democrats as well, or just to corrupt Republicans who have already confessed to their crimes.

Trump has admitted he did all of these things, and to be quite honest he did most of them on TV and we watched him do it.

I'm non-partisan in my hatred for the Establishment.

Hence the need for speedy trial, so a potentially ineligible candidate can’t waste our time running for an office they can’t hold.

Speedy trial? Good luck with that.

And yet your post only denigrated liberals and very pointedly so, so that's a lie.

Sorry, trials!

Sorry, trials!

The fraudulent RICO case alone could take years.

Justice is what’s important. He isn’t going to be president anyway, so he has plenty of time.

I've had more than one post on this forum. Feel free to peruse them some time to see how I feel about Donald Trump or Mitch McConnel, for example.

You assume that I care what you think. I respond to what you post.

‘Two prominent conservative law professors have concluded that Donald J. Trump is ineligible to be president under a provision of the Constitution that bars people who have engaged in an insurrection from holding government office. The professors are active members of the Federalist Society, the conservative legal group, and proponents of originalism, the method of interpretation that seeks to determine the Constitution’s original meaning.

The professors — William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas — studied the question for more than a year and detailed their findings in a long article to be published next year in The University of Pennsylvania Law Review.

There is, the article said, “abundant evidence” that Mr. Trump engaged in an insurrection, including by setting out to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election, trying to alter vote counts by fraud and intimidation, encouraging bogus slates of competing electors, pressuring the vice president to violate the Constitution, calling for the march on the Capitol and remaining silent for hours during the attack itself.

“It is unquestionably fair to say that Trump ‘engaged in’ the Jan. 6 insurrection through both his actions and his inaction,” the article said.’

This is all moot, of course, since there is no Federal statutory authority to enforce Section Three of the 14th Amendment, although Section Five of the 14th Amendment authorizes Congress to do.

The states are at liberty to prevent an insurrectionist from running for president pursuant to Section Three, but that would be subject to protracted and inconclusive court challenges – and not all the states would act to enforce Section Three.

LOL. Then why do Democrats all believe Trump will be the nominee in 2024? Or, are you saying that Trump's birth certificate is from Kenya?

MAGA universe will consider this a nothing burger, but what if it isn't? There is no question that the 14th Amendment applies to Trump's insurrection efforts and his pledge to pardon the ones already convicted.

Stay tuned, it's gonna get real interesting! Bigly!!!

Each more full of crap than the last.

Misinformation and fake indictments are the only cards lying Democrats have left to play.
