Trump tells court he had no duty to 'support' the Constitution as president

[Nostra]

Yea, the election was rigged, correct?

You're just willfully stupid.

It was?

 

[lennypartiv]

Trump is a treasonous enemy of the Constitution and unfit to hold any public office.

It was your side that stole an election.

 

[Delldude]

This is totally bizarre! If the President of the United States isn't required to support the Constitution - then who is? What do you think?

His oath is 'to protect and defend'.

Former President Donald Trump is arguing to a judge in Colorado that he was not required to "support" the Constitution as president, reported Brandi Buchman from Law & Crime.

The argument came as he seeks to dismiss a lawsuit filed in the state by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), seeking to have him disqualified from the ballot in the state under the 14th Amendment. The Insurrection Clause of the amendment prohibits those who have "engaged in insurrection" against the United States from holding a civil, military, or elected office without unless a two-thirds majority of the House and Senate approve.

But Trump's lawyers are arguing that the specific language of the Constitution argues that this requirement only applies to people in offices who are bound to "support" the Constitution — and the presidency is not one of those offices.

Oh my congratulating a world leader on a peaceful rule. Whoever thought of such an awful thing.

One thing that made Trump such a successful president is his background as a successful businessman. Trump is a master of the schmooze. His ability to get along with all kinds of people while not giving in to any of them is what gave us 4 years of peace and prosperity.

 

[Redfish]

that is not what his lawyers have said, stop lying about this. The point made by his lawyers is legally valid. But the left wing media and idiots like you will continue to lie about it.

/——/ Reading comprehension isn’t your forte. That clause only applies to people in office. Trump is a private citizen.

Nope. The clause applies to everyone who has taken an oath of office, even if no longer in office.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

He damn sure did have a requirement, as that was the oath he was required to take to be sworn into the job. What a sleazebag sonovobitch!

The Oath the POTUS takes does not use the word "support", thus the argument by his lawyers

The fact that they have to come within 50 miles of parsing this tells us all we need to know.

 

[Care4all]

Except defend and support are synonyms....???

SYNONYMS FOR defend​

• advocate
• condone
• confirm
• countenance
• explain
• favor
• maintain
• rationalize
• support
• sustain
• uphold
• validate
• vindicate
• warrant

And his lawyers argument, that it does not include the President means the President can commit or support an insurrection, without consequences and can be allowed to run again for office after such insurrection attempts or support, is absurd.
