20 % of the House and the Senate should object to Trump's election. He's an insurrectionist.

On the same day the Supreme Court makes yet another decision disgracing the American judiciary, another state court judge demonstrates the bravery and principle that rule of law requires. Illinois county circuit court judge has adopted the Colorado Supreme Courtās reasoning, combined with the courtās examination of relevant Illinois election law, to rule that Trump may not appear on the ballot as he is ineligible to serve as President per #14thAmendmentSection3. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/28/politics/illinois-trump-removed-ballot-insurrectionist-ban/index.html #LawFedi

Will be interesting to see what mental gymnastics self-proclaimed āoriginalistā Supreme Court Justices will use to argue that #section3 of the #14thamendment does not disqualify Trump from holding the office of U.S. president. Hereās an excellent amicus brief from leading experts on the history of the provision and how it was understood by people at the time of its adoption. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-719/298999/20240129110006501_23-719%20bsac%20American%20Historians%20Final.pdf #LawFedi #TrumpVAnderson #RuleOfLaw #14thAmendmentSection3 #history

Excerpt:
Ā« #Lawfare has noted that in a 2014 letter from the late Justice #AntoninScalia, #Trumpās āAmerican heroā appeared to have considered the president an āofficer of the United States,ā an assertion undercutting the heft of Trumpās defense against #disqualification. Ā»
Former #Illinois Judge, #Republican #ClarkErickson, acting as hearing officer on votersā challenge to #DonaldTrumpās eligibility, finds that #Trump engaged in #insurrection and is disqualified under #Section3 of the #FourteenthAmendment; that the #ElectoralBoard does not have the authority to decide the challenge on the merits, but recommends that, if the board does reach the merits, Trump is disqualified.

#Trumplicans are such hypocrites. They turn to the constitution, disregarding the militia text, regarding guns, ignoring what the people want, but then spout off that we should ignore the #14thamendmentsection3 and let the people decide.
The 14th is crystal clear: you are disqualified if you were part of an insurrection!
Ā« āSecretary [Shenna] #Bellows showed great courage in her ruling, and we look forward to helping her defend her judicious and correct decision in court. No elected official is above the law or our #Constitution, and todayās ruling reaffirms this most important of #American principles,ā #Republican #KimberleyRosen, #Independent #ThomasSaviello and #Democrat #EthanStrimling said in a statement.

āI do not reach this conclusion lightly,ā #Maine's #Democratic Secretary of State #ShennaBellows wrote in her 34-page decision. āI am mindful that no #SecretaryOfState has ever deprived a presidential candidate of #BallotAccess based on #Section3 of the #FourteenthAmendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in #insurrection.ā

The #14thamendmentsection3 is clear and straightforward and is a self enforcing section of our constitution that needs no conviction or court to rule. The leaders added this amendment to ensure any insurrectionist that took the oath to uphold our constitution never held office. The #coloradosupremecourt got it right.
#MAGA country & #Trumplicans are going apeshit over it because Trump is being held accountable. We don't want any white nationalist, fascist autocratic in our government.
Colorado Courtās Ruling Banning Trump From Ballot Is Sharp as Hell (Elie Mystal)
For true textualists, the text of Section 3 couldnāt be more clear.
Supreme Court conservatives will have to tie themselves into a knot to overturn the decision.

Most important content, the #14thAmendmentSection3 and how #SCOTUS will play a role - sooner rather than later.
The 14th Amendment is absolutely fascinating. I took AP History in HS and we didn't cover it much at all, but it's got some pretty important clauses. Equal rights/protection is what we studied, but sections 3 and 4 coming into play probably didn't seem to ever be likely. Yet here we are... what's next, a 3rd Amendment case?

The #Colorado #SupremeCourt rules #DonaldTrump is disqualified from holding office, citing section three of the #14thAmendment, removing him from the stateās 2024 ballot.
@RollingStone The party, that refuses to accept majority rule demands to be disqualified from holding public office.

People that are so concerned that #Trump is polling higher than #Biden are blowing things way out of proportion. It isn't even #2024 yet and Trump still has 91 felony counts to face and there are several constitutional court battles going on over his legitimacy to run in the first place.
Besides, #Election #Polls are worthless garbage used to conjure up content that produces an emotional response. In other words, Trump is ahead in the polls because that is what sells right now.
Personal Message:
If you choose to not vote for Biden & Harris or do not vote at all, then you are responsible for what comes next. Trump is not just another candidate. The media and the #Democrats need to stop treating him and any other #MAGA republican like they are regular candidates.

@marcelias šš¤ Fourteenth Amendment Section 3.
Disqualify all of Trump's co-conspirators inciting & engaging in insurrection against the authority of the United States & the laws thereof, and giving aid & comfort thereto.
