BTW J Michael Luttig is a republican ................ whereas Trump, MAGA and ALEC are not.razoo » 27 Aug 2023, 12:10 am » wrote: ↑ J. Michael Luttig and Laurence Tribe make the case for Trump’s disqualification from public office
In a new article for The Atlantic, retired former federal judge J. Michael Luttig and top legal scholar Laurence Tribe make the case that the Constitution includes a provision that disqualifies Donald Trump from holding public office again.
Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment is also known as the “disqualification clause.” It’s only two sentences long but it could doom Trump’s bid to return to the White House.
The disqualification clause “forbids the former president from holding the office of the presidency again because of his conduct in and around January 6, 2021,” says Judge Luttig.
And as Tribe points out, it’s not a sanction against an individual. “The framers of the 14th Amendment took great care not to treat this as a punishment … Nobody has a right to be president without meeting the qualifications.”

Unfortunately for you, he isn't the final authority and doesn't have anything resembling the authority to declare someone ineligible.
The 14th Amendment Article 3 is the authority............... prove me wrong with documentation. Trump and his criminal pals including those five very corrupt so called judges are not documentation .....................ConsRule » 11 Sep 2023, 5:42 pm » wrote: ↑ Unfortunately for you, he isn't the final authority and doesn't have anything resembling the authority to declare someone ineligible.
Liberals seem to think someone can just decided on their own...they cannot.
tell that to the juries that already convicted several people of seditious conspiracy for that "photo-op".Neo » 11 Sep 2023, 5:31 pm » wrote: ↑ Very clear. What is decidedly unclear is if a failed occupation/sit in show of civil disobedience rises to the level of sedition. Unarmed, most were non violent. It wasn't an insurrection, it was a photo op that wasn't nearly as violent as it's orchestrators intended. Headlines were already printed days in advance. This was supposed to be a mass casualty event. Instead the only violent death was an unarmed protester.
seditious conspiracy... multiple convictions. The clown told them to go fight like hell and they did.... they smashed through barricades and windows and broke down doors and effectively halted the constitutionally mandated counting of electoral college votes and declaring a winner for several hours. And if they could have gotten their hands on Mike Pence strung him up like they expressly stated they intended to do, maybe things would have turned out differently.Zeets2 » 11 Sep 2023, 5:30 pm » wrote: ↑ Any thoughts you have that Trump caused an "insurrection" on Jan 6th is laughable, especially when not a single arrested protester was charged with such a crime, and not a single protester carried any weapons with which to possibly threaten anyone in the Capitol. And the reality is that the case should be thrown out immediately in the time it takes the judge and jury to watch the multiple videos of Trump pleading with the crowd to march "peacefully and patriotically", a video that was taken down by the social media giants in order to continue their ridiculous jihad against Trump.
So take your 14th Amendment **** and stick it where the sun doesn't shine!
Rudy never offered it up. Because it wasn't real. If Rudy's initial complaint had stated he had actual evidence of voter fraud, no judge in the land would have summarily dismissed it.Zeets2 » 11 Sep 2023, 5:24 pm » wrote: ↑ That's easy!
The PA judges dismissed the case, REFUSING to look at all the evidence the Trump legal team had!:
****. Fraud was alleged in many lawsuits and no judge would allow any evidence to be presented.maineman » 11 Sep 2023, 7:05 pm » wrote: ↑ Rudy never offered it up. Because it wasn't real.

I have some faith in juries in my jurisdiction. That faith doesn't extend to juries in the DC area. Political persecution pure and simple.

I judge trees based on their fruit. I don't believe anyone associated with Trump can get an impartial trial in many democrat enclaves. DC included.

I can't speak to that but blm rioters got pretty light sentences compared to the severity of their crimes. Democrats introduced politics into a system that is supposed to be apolitical. I am sure Republicans aren't above doing the same. An antifa leader would likely not receive favorable treatment in a conservative court.maineman » 11 Sep 2023, 8:40 pm » wrote: ↑ but republican enclaves render objective verdicts?

The fact remains... the Proud Boys and the crowd they led rebelled against the Constitution and Donald Trump gave them encouragement, aid and comfort to do so. That's JUST what Section 3 of the 14th is all about.
Those prosecutors didn't seem to have too much difficulty convicting all the J6 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers now rotting away in prison.Zeets2 » 12 Sep 2023, 8:14 am » wrote: ↑ So then, with such a large demonstration they knew was coming, why don't you try explaining why Nancy Pelosi REFUSED THE ADDITIONAL NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS THAT TRUMP OFFERED SEVERAL TIMES?
And doesn't THAT indicate PRECISELY whose fault this riot was? Yet, why did the investigative committee (made up solely of Democrats and Trump haters) refuse to interrogate her under oath?
THAT'S where the culpability lies, you know it and I know it just as everyone else does, and that factoid will be difficult for your corrupt prosecutors to spin from in order to try to blame Trump for it when it comes to trial!
