Forget the Trump trials. He might already be ineligible for 2024.

It just got real...

But there’s a serious argument that, separate from any criminal charges, Trump is constitutionally disqualified from returning to the White House because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol. And if the Constitution bars him from the presidency, then he’s not entitled to be on the ballot, and it becomes the job of state election officials to keep him off.

Two prominent conservative scholars have added their voices — and, more important, their extensive analysis of the relevant historical record — in support of this argument. They conclude that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was adopted after the Civil War to prohibit former federal officeholders who joined the Confederacy from holding office again, applies broadly to any “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States and not solely to the South’s secession from the Union.....

These scholars explain in a forthcoming law review article that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was an insurrection within the meaning of this clause and, crucially, that Trump engaged in this insurrection within the clause’s meaning, by both fomenting it and failing to exercise his presidential powers to stop it once it was underway. Refuting the view that the president is not an “officer” to whom this provision applies, these scholars cogently note that John Tyler was a former president and John Breckinridge a former vice president who both joined the Confederacy, and surely the framers of the 14th Amendment intended its disqualification from future office to apply to the likes of them.

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.

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

This is the Federalist Society - the litmus test of any GOP nominee for a judgeship or leadership of the DoJ. They have provided Trump with the list of names from which someone helps him find a nominee.

Check any conservative federal judges bio of the past 25 years, and they will be members.

This is a very public split....it appears as if the Society is reapplying for admission into Civil Society by establishing a distance between themselves and the zombie cult that the GOP has become.
bullshit, how exactly does "peacefully and patriotically" incite a riot? Why did Pence block congress and the american people from seeing the vote fraud evidence? Was he promised that he would not be indicted if he let senile joe claim the win?

Too bad Trump didn't tell them to do that. He just assumed they would.

Not even satiable Bullshit on nice fluffy rice.
Firstly there Was NO January 6th Insurrection.Not one firearm
was collected let alone used.Except by a craven Capitol cop who
shot to death { try Murdered } w/o as much a warning a 12 year
United States Air Force veteran.She was Not attempting to Break
in the Capitol she was pushed in by a Mob.
The Craven Capitol Cop got off scott free.His name was not
released into months later.He never had to face questioning as to
the legality of his actions to shoot { w/o issuing any warning }
an unarmed female that was in the middle of a mob.
An Insurrection requires deadly force.BLM Protests were
much more deadly and serious.Plus Potus Trump sent letters to
D.C. Mayor Bowser and also Nancy Pelosi { who never even bothered to
respond } days before January 6th his recommendation for having
10,ooo National Guard ready on that Day.
Both Bowser and Pelosi Ignored.
How many Undercover FBI agents were stationed near or
high up on towers that day.How many Hours of Video were
shot.How many hours of Video were shown to the public.
 
Jan 6th now compared to the civil war? :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: :auiqs.jpg: That will be laughed out of the SCOTUS.
Try compared to 911 and also Pearl Harbor.
meaning all this January 6th Insurrection was concocted.
No different than the concocting of Trumps first Impeachment
based exclusively on a Phone call.Saying a proven Quid Pro Quo.
Plus No Potus ever won Reelection when they Increased their
vote totals.Trump had more than 3 million more votes in 2020 than
2016.In fact Obama had 3.5 Million less votes in 2012 than 2008.
How Dem potatoes.

Without a warning?? Here's a guy who was so close to her when she was shot, he got her blood on his hand trying to help her. He says she was warned...




"A number of police and secret service were saying, 'get back', 'get down', 'get out of the way,' she didn't heed the call and as we kind of raced up to grab people and pull 'em back, they shot her in the neck." ~ Thomas Baranyi, 1.6.21
 
Of course it does. They went there to have their voices heard, as they were told to do.
No it doesn't since we have many democrats calling for fights. Namely Harris and Maxine waters
