Are you trying to explain why your copy paste was wrong with another copy paste, you poor sensitive thing?R.Suave » 04 Mar 2024, 12:25 pm » wrote: ↑ Given these possibilities, it is at least understandable that the majority wanted to take Section 3 off the table. To get there, the court relied, albeit not in a full-throated way, on the only precedent of any importance: Griffin’s Case, an 1869 circuit court decision written by then Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase in his capacity as a circuit justice. At oral argument, Justice Brett Kavanaugh was the one pushing this precedent, and it’s a fair assumption that his view prevailed among the other conservatives excluding Barrett.
The reason the court didn’t trumpet its reliance on precedent is probably that the decision isn’t all that well reasoned, as the conservative originalist scholars who put the whole Section 3 question on the public agenda noted. The most important legal and constitutional takeaway of Trump v. Anderson is that, when it comes to the weight of precedent, strong reasoning actually isn’t and shouldn’t be all that important.

?
Your patient explanation, to the effect that no conviction is required, is met with disbelief....or worse...
Let this put that particular matter to rest..
if the appeals court were to rule in Trump’s favor, it would have no effect on his disqualification, as the constitutional bar is not based on any conviction for any criminal offense. Although insurrection is indeed a federal crime under 18 US Code § 2383, it became one only in 1948, and it is in any case irrelevant to disqualification under the Constitution. None of the ex-Confederates excluded from office after the amendment went into effect were prosecuted for insurrection.

It isn't worth reading the first time.
No, no, fruitcake. According to your most RECENT mouthpoop, they invented MORE than one, Remember?
All 9 of them. Even the Communist and the Dyke. You **** must be running out of money, because you couldn't even pay-off the ones who are in the tank for the retarded old man **** himself while sleeping in President Trump's chair.

When one does nothing but ****, it is hard to keep one's **** straight, fruitcake.
They never invented the false claim of Insurrection ......Democrats, RINO's and the Biden administration did that all by themselves ....
