Let's make something clear.

Historical precedent also confirms that a criminal conviction is not required for an individual to be disqualified under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. No one who has been formally disqualified under Section 3 was charged under the criminal “rebellion or insurrection” statute (18 U.S.C. § 2383) or its predecessors. This fact is consistent with Section 3’s text, legislative history, and precedent, all of which make clear that a criminal conviction for any offense is not required for disqualification. Section 3 is not a criminal penalty, but rather is a qualification for holding public office in the United States that can be and has been enforced through civil lawsuits in state courts, among other means.

Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment does not expressly require a criminal conviction, and historically, one was not necessary. Reconstruction Era federal prosecutors brought civil actions in court to oust officials linked to the Confederacy, and Congress in some cases took action to refuse to seat Members. Congress last used Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1919 to refuse to seat a socialist Congressman accused of having given aid and comfort to Germany during the First World War, irrespective of the Amnesty Act. The Congressman, Victor Berger, was eventually seated at a subsequent Congress after the Supreme Court threw out his espionage conviction for judicial bias. Recently, various groups and organizations have challenged the eligibility of certain candidates running for Congress, arguing that the candidates’ alleged involvement in the events surrounding the January 6, 2021, breach of the Capitol render them ineligible for office. No challenges have to date resulted in the disqualification of any congressional candidate. A New Mexico state court, however, has removed Otero County Commissioner County Griffin from office and prohibited him from seeking or holding any future office based on his participation in, and preparation for, the January 6 interruption of the election certification.

Absent evidence in contradiction of CREW's assertion I suspect Trumpleton's will ineffectually attack CREW and or the CRS. It is the Trumpian way. When facts and evidence fail them they rely on what amounts to character assassination. Which is why Trump attacks the media, anyone who opposes him, and most especially those like Jack Smith who are working to hold Don accountable for his illegal actions.

Furthermore, quite a bit has been made about the removal of a candidate's name from the ballot being anti-democratic. Yet the Constitution itself tells us that it is the conduct that gives rise to disqualification under the 14th Amendment that is anti-democratic. From the moment Trump began the anti-democratic act of conspiring to steal the election he violated his oath of office and forfeited his right to once again run to be the prez.
Is this a joke? Tell me it's a joke....CREW is about the most bias org in DC....And you are a dupe for posting this propaganda...

 
Nope. You can't just bring subjective accusations and instant guilty verdicts without due process. Even Adams knew the significance of this when he represented British soldiers.
A court ruled on this based on evidence.
 
So.... You're OK with Dem/Socialist hacks presuming the role of "authoritative federal source",
I am OK with any branch of the Federal government ( Executive, Legislative or Judicial ) making such a Declaration.
What need is there for a USSC?
The Supreme Court, of course, gets to rule on whether a given Statute or Proclamation is constitutional. That's a gimme.
 
  • Thanks
Reactions: IM2
Just as he was stopped from doing on his last days in office by people who refused to carry out such a command.
His followers would do anything for him, rule of law or not IM2

They love the idea of Trump as dictator

due process >>>

The Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause guarantees procedural due process, meaning that government actors must follow certain procedures before they may deprive a person of a protected life, liberty, or property interest.

allowing ONE entity to impart judgement is not this^^^^

~S~
Read and post clause 3, then recognize that a court ruled on this meaning due process occurred.

Let's get something clear, the 14th specifically lists the only entity with the power to enforce the 14th is the Congress. Not some civil court judge in CO, not the Maine SOS.
 
Read and post clause 3, then recognize that a court ruled on this meaning due process occurred.
Read clause 5 and tell me where you find a civil court judge in CO, or the Maine SOS listed as someone who has the power to enforce the 14th.


Section 5



The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
 
I am OK with any branch of the Federal government ( Executive, Legislative or Judicial ) making such a Declaration.

I'm not ok with biased decision that have no basis in the constitution which is exactly what the dems are doing right now. You're ok with that though. I'm not. I also wouldn't be ok for removing biden from office without due process even thought there is sufficient evidence. You folks are scary and dangerous.

I've already posted in multiple times IM2, it is inclusive of pre-civil war history

in the broader perspective , our 3 branches, judicial, legislative, executive all work in conjunction pursuant to any given issue's due process

in the case of insurrection , due process can be the solely the discretion of a seated potus

the problem being, they never figured on a seated potus starting an insurrection
