In my view the problem is the word ‘insurrection’ and bad as Jan 6 was it wasn’t an insurrection as such and the Supreme Court will so find. I hope I am wrong. If they do disqualify him you may have a real insurrection. The situation is dreadful and you have a weak judiciary as has already been demonstrated
Who wants a president who wears diapers and can't stop crapping in them. He is a traitor. Traitors should not get special treatment. It's disgusting.
I pray that the other states follow suit, be brave, Trump is Traitor
Could all or most Republican Supreme Court Justices simply recuse themselves?
Jefferson Davis also didn't start insurrection as a sitting president LIKE THIS CREEP.
He is ex-president, not the president Now! He deserves what he gets! REPUBLICANS! SAD So Sad! We can’t unsee what Has already happened from Trump 4 years of vacation in office (that’s when he wasn’t playing Golf,sorry, cheating at golf) . He acts like 2 year old! ENOUGH ALREADY! 🤡🤮🤡🤡🤡🤮🤮🤮🗣️🗣️🗣️🤥🤥🤥🗽🗽🤦🏻♀️💙💙
Why does Trump bother with Oath Keepers when he's taken no oath?
I believe Donadl Trump incited a riot and encourage an insurection. But I don't get to make that call all by myself. This is a fine point of Constitutional law. The 14th ammendment section 3 leaves lots to interpretation, unfortunately. It doesn't define who determines when it applies. Saying that POTUS isn't an "an officer of the United States" is ridiculous. The President IS an officer of the United States. But who shall determine what constitutes "insurrection" and "rebellion", who did or did not do it, is not clear. It seems to imply that the States have that power but that Congress by 2/3rds vote can remove such disqualification. Remove it…not impose it. So who can impose it first such that Congress can remove the disqualification? Seems to imply that the States can enforce the disqualification. Only the States can set there own election rules and methods. Section 3 and section 5 never even mention SCOTUS but any constitutional matter gets settled by SCOTUS. I fear SCOTUS will monumentally drop the ball on this one. Given how much time they have to make the call, SCOTUS will punt rather than give a definative hard call. I don't trust SCOTUS to do the right thing. Not any more. Not since Citizens United.
Will red states try to take Biden off the ballot?
Donald Trump just doesn't like the fact that he cannot be dictator you just cannot be a king that's not something you can be in America. You can be the king of your own castle but your Castle ends at your property line.
The LAW of the constitution is what should be followed & it is supreme process for all .
I think all hosts of broadcast news items should credit "The next GOP President…" as saying this or that or "… has lied about …" etc, etc.
==== > So, what. You're okay to make the Constitution a martyr? The guy belongs in ore-trial detention. I'm starting to think this is going to turn out like the Russia investigation. Someone will come out and say they couldn't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. If the law doesn't matter, why vote? Trump could get back on the ballot. All he has to do is convince Congress to lift the restriction with a 2/3 vote from both Houses.
But can't trump go to his maga buddies in Congress get him back?
Every appellate attorney knows that strict "originalism," "textualism" is totally insincere political BS. It's making up a phony "historical" argument to support your phony, partisan decision. Pure right-wing Scalia BS.
These MAGA folks and their support of the former POtuS is unfathomable. They have brainwashed themselves into proudly gleeful ignorance. They're so afraid of thinking for themselves, they claim to be accepting of their own personal dictatorship. Their position on the rights of anyone that isn't a gun-carrrying white male is our own American Sharia Law. And yet, somehow, no matter what the event or situation, the Republican is always, always, always the victim. Also, this probably doesn't belong on YouTube. Forgive me, lol.
Everyone boycott these states don’t give at assistance from government to these states truck divers do not deliver product to them people have not approved this government taking over
the Founding Fathers didn't know about rebublicons the gop weren't a thing
I think the Supreme Court finds that the 14th Amendment applies to the President and that the President is an Officer under the USA. However, they find there is no direct evidence that trump participated in insurrection for Jan 6. This is the out they need to coddle trump.
The constitution is clear!!! He doesn't qualify!!! Judge Littig has stated that he. Is disqualified!!!
My question now is, what happens when GOP Secretaries of State in red states decide since they have the power to do this, they dedide they will remove Biden from the ballot (or anyone else!) because they believe Biden committed insurrection?? Even though there is no merit or evidence to that, what would prevent them from doing this??
The supreme Court has to do the right thing uphold the law no one man should be above the law 💯⚖️🏛️🇺🇸🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏼🙏🏾💯⚖️🏛️🇺🇸
He didn't just take part in an insurrection, or only give aide and comfort to an insurrection, he organized and incited it! "Come to DC on Jan 6, will be wild!.. We're going to march to the Capitol… You've got to fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore."
Meialas: i agree with you. later for his base, this is about democracy and keeping the next slug from attempting to do this. we should do this ONCE. AGAIN I WANT T KNOW IF THE 14TH AMENDMENT APPLIES TO ALL MAGA CURRENTLY IN OFFICE, AND WHAT CAN WE THE PEOPLE DO NOW TO GET THEM OUT. THANKS
yep, Democraps want "democracy" , but no voting rights for political opponents and no Constitutional Rights for Christian conservative views to be expressed.
The Maine GOP is trying to impeach Ms. Bellows for doing her job. I am so embarressed by this GOP.
Ok Ben what the hell are you looking at over there??? Why did you stop looking at us??
I find it hard to forward on many of the videos because the titles are written to attract the choir, not the audience. Sure I know it drives up views, but for people who aren’t already of the opinion that Trump is awful, they give me feedback like, “why would I want to watch THAT?” (even when I contextualize it).
So, some videos very accessible to those needing some deprograming should get more inviting titles to those who hold the alternative view…
I agree somewhat with Popok, but worrying about activating Trump's base is like seeing a rabid dog, foaming at the mouth charging at you, and worrying about not making it mad.
Whether he is convicted or not or deemed to have nothing to do with the insurrection…. If other people have, like the people who were sent to prison, he has provided aid and comfort to insurrectionists when singing those songs with them and promising them pardons.
If Trump is not disqualified Biden should do his version of January 6it,s just the way it as to be
Something has to be done about our officials personal information getting out and people making death threats to them, their personal info like anybody else should be protected and threats should be investigated to there fullest with maybe a bonus amount of jail time for trying to intimidate them 🤔
You know … I think we need to turn the tables just a little bit…. Post all of his contacts on line .. don’t forget he can and gets protection from the secret service FOR LIFE!! I think that should be removed once the Jan 6th case finds him guilty.. or any of his other cases ! Just a thought !
All Secretaries of State have an obligation to remove Trump from the ballot for insurrection. Then, and only then, should Trump be able to contest that removal through the courts.
