Ha ha! Tribe is a con man.
Laurence Tribe was wrong all along.
The constitution guarantees us a republic form of government NOT A DEMOCRACY !!!! There is a big difference.
Trump and his cult of deplorables are pushing our country to make decisions contrary to law and order out of fear of violence. This will destroy our democracy.
A POLITICAL PRIVET CLUB MEMBERS ARE FREE TO ELECT THEIR MEMBERS, IT IS A PRIMIRY STUPID
I pray dear GOD…give the Supreme Court of the US to rule Donald Tchump as an unqualified and inelligible insurrectionist to run or hold the Presidential Office or any other office ever again!!! AMEN
Anything but democratic Tribe, who told the electoral college in 2016, it was okay to not confirm Trump. He is a proven plagiarist. But hey, it’s Harvard!!
The 14th Amendment needs to be modified by taking out the part that reads ", having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States," which begins after the first instance of the word "who" near the beginning of the amendment.
Here is my reasoning. We don't want anyone who has previously attacked the United States to be in a position of political power where they can work from the inside to overthrow the U.S.
The last line of the 14th amendment, "But Congress may by a vote of 2/3 of each House, remove such disability." After trump, the reason should be clear. Trump has corrupted the entire republican party to the point that almost all of them are acting in the interest of trump and not in the interest of the United States. It is not so far-fetched to have had 2/3 of both houses controlled by Republicans during trump's term in office, and had that been the case, the U.S. would have fallen.
Harvard, need anyone say more. There was no insurrection
Lawrence enjoyed this quite a bit! Great work!
Same ald junk from msnbc
Who remembers Donald Trump calling the Constitution phoney? Not the whole Constitution, granted, just the parts he found inconvenient –specifically, the emoluments clause he knew he was violating –but as Professor Tribe points out, the Presidential Oath isn't a la carte.
The right winger fascist MAGA court will continue to interpret the U. S. Constitution in a way that benefits their own political ideology. The highest court of the land is not a court of law!
Hey Donnie boy, think of it as an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement).
If the Courts decide on Trump's side, they are making the President a King who is above the law. Therefore, Joe Biden can just ignore the results of the election if he loses and commit a Coup and do any other crimes without penalty, just like Trump did. He will have no Constitution to follow and no need to keep a Supreme Court.
Trump disqualified himself. Period.
The bigger they are the harder they fall.
When Arnold Schwarzenegger was Governor of California the GOP made a push in his favor to overlook the birth requirement, too.
Who??? Harvard grad is totally disqualified… consider the source.
The 14th Amendment, Section 3 provides a clear path for anyone disabled from office under Section 3, in its concluding sentence… "But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." This is the subject's (Trump's) Constitutional way to stay on the ballot. Here, the subject probably believes that the disability will not be removed by Congress, either the House or Senate and so is left with the whimsical arguments we now see in the news.
Trump has not been convicted of insurrection. Therefore the 14th amendment does not apply until or unless he is.
I was Laurence Tribe were on the Supreme Court rather than the republicon traitors!
A state trial court in Denver ruled in November that the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6 constituted an insurrection and found Trump engaged in insurrection, marking the first time a judge has reached such a conclusion about his conduct.
What the constitution actually says, is irrelevant to the Republicans interpretation of it. Taking this argument to the Supreme Court, that has Clarence Thomas a judge, who takes Trump supporters money by the millions, and three Trump appointed judges that said they would not touch Roe versus Wade, but then did. And people think they are going to use the actual definition of the words in the constitution to make the ruling… i’m not that naïve.
Prof. Tribe sure can go on…and on…and on. Whew. But he sure makes sense.
A one time supporter of The Palmer Report, should tell you everything about his bias.
Here’s the deal, Donald Trump “might not have” committed this crime of insurrection had he been intelligent enough to know it violated the Constitution. And, apparently, the lawyers advising his were equally as ignorant. Sad.
Again, Professor Tribe takes it for granted that the President is an officer of the United States. But although the Constitution in some twenty or more places refers to the Presidency as an Office, not once does it refer to the President as an officer. In fact, whether the President is an officer is a point is in dispute. I have yet to see Prof.Tribe seriously engage with the thesis of Blackman and Tillman that the President is not an "officer", nor have I see Tribe rebut their arguments point by point. It makes me wonder whether he can do so.
Article 14th was written to keep the democrat slave owners from holding office after the republicans took away their slaves. Trump is not a slave holder but the democrats still hold their slaves on an economic and educational plantation.
This is not going to be an easy decision for SCOTUS. Under section 5 of the 14th, the power to enforce the amendment is placed with the US Congress — not the states. There was already an impeachment on the grounds of insurrection in which Trump was found “Not Guilty”. Thus the Congress has already spoken as to whether he committed insurrection. Based on section 5 and the impeachment finding, it is reasonable the SCOTUS will rule the ban unconstitutional as it goes counter to the ruling of the Congress as to his status with respect to insurrection and Section 5 places that authority with the Congress. BTW, I am not a Trump supporter. Although a Republican, I have never and never could vote for Trump. I voted for Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble.
Or. Selling pardons!
The divine right of kings does not appear anywhere in the Constitution of the United States. The exclusion of individuals who behave as Donald Trump has done most certainly does. It is the law and it applies to him without equivocation. He has forfeited his right to hold any office through his own actions.
