Yes exactly what I said is true. Congress and ONLY congress can pass legislation enforcing section 3 of the 14th.

Congress did so, and it chose to enact a criminal statute that bars anyone convicted under it from holding office.

Trump has not been charged or convicted under that statute.

End of story. Once again, the left hates the constitution, wants activists on the court, and has once again directed their racist ire towards only one justice
Again, wrong. The law you're referring to was passed in 1862, before the 14th was proposed and implemented. It is separate from the 14th, not an enforcing application of it.
 
Not talking about the ruling itself, Karl. Talking about the predictable reaction of lunatics like him.

As for insurrection: that is and was an OPINION held by people like yourself. Nothing more. Accept that. The fact that the SCOTUS didn’t address it doesn’t give it validity. They didn’t address the tooth fairy today, either.

We all know that this was an enormous win for Trump. Why? Because a regular person who doesn’t follow political intricacy will take away one thing from this- that he did nothing wrong.
They're going to rule against him in the presidential immunity case next here, paving the way for prosecution. Will the regular person then see him as a criminal?
 
No, they ruled on who has the power of enforcement of the 14th, assigning that specifically to federal Congress, not individual states. They didn't challenge the lower court's finding of insurrection at all. Did you read the opinion? It's short.
So they basically said what I argued with before. It wasn't in Colorados jurisdiction to make that call.
 
Yea. I don't think most people realize how close we are to losing super power status and what would that would mean for our economy given that we outsource everything.
Who has the naval capacity to be the global security guarantor to take our place of preeminence on the world stage? And if you correctly answer that, nobody does, then the worst you're fearing is a breakdown of the global economy where everything reverts to imperial/mercantile spheres of local influence. We dominate that world too as America has everything it needs within its area of influence. What are you so worried about losing?
 
Not sure why you think his base can't criticize him for anything. Trump gets criticised on here by his supporters all the time. We criticise the fights he picks, the stupid things he pops off with at times, his spending was an issue, his handling of Covid, wasn't very popular, his Cabinet picks that sucked, Every one of us who either supports him now and supported him in the past have been able to point to his flaws.
I voted Trump twice and barring something major, will again. I don't like him very much personally and he made plenty of mistakes, but he is not part of the swamp and has reason to go after them now. I (and we as a group) have gone down the road with rinos to often and that is why we are where we are at today.
 
Idk either but for someone of Trump's age and undoubtedly poor health, the VP is a blink away from being president. Even if trump wins and lives his term, can't imagine a second term. The GOP VP should have the leg up in that race.

All that assumes youngkin even qualifies. Not sure his age.
this would be Trump's second term, he can't run again in 2028 despite what all the left wing conspiracy theorists on here think about him naming himself "Dictator for Life" (not realizing Trump doesn't have a whole lot of life left in the grand scheme of things, LOL)
 
So they basically said what I argued with before. It wasn't in Colorados jurisdiction to make that call.
Yeah that's the route they ended up taking. SCOTUS limited it to individual states having the power to enforce it for their own offices only:

"This case raises the question whether the States, in addition to Congress, may also enforce Section 3. We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices"

Here's a link to the actual ruling if people want to read it for themselves.
 
The VP pick needs to be someone who does not foresee a future in conservative politics.

Association with Trump will lead to destruction of his/her character right up until the point when s/he turns on Trump.

I think it is noteworthy the way Glenn Youngkin has kept his distance from Trump (avoiding both alliance and competition).

Anyone who kicked trump off the ballot should be arrested with subverting the constitution seditious conspiracy. Start with the sec of state in Maine.
They literally put the implementations on hold pending SCOTUS review you disingenuous twat. CO printed the ballots with him on them.
 
Is there a word for the opposite of assassination insurance? That’s Nikki Haley for Trump. He’d have to look over his shoulder with every policy decision.
I find this argument lacking perspective. If they could get to him he would already be dead. They wouldn’t be waiting for any vp pick or win for presidency. And why does haley get him killed but Tim Scott or other protect him. It’s absurdity to the highest level. Trump has so many enemies inside and outside the party. Nikki isn’t running some secret hit squad. Greg Abbott? Why wouldn’t they kill trump whoever they are if Abbott is vp? We are getting into lunatic conspiracy theories thinking the odds of assasination go up if Haley is vp.

Hoo boy. Don’t worry about the dollar, we have a navy.
 
Boy, wait till you find out how many Biden killed after he said he’d defeat Covid.

They have no choice. They are attempting to subvert the will of the people and openly to the world commit treacherous acts to do it. Call me what you want but it’s your wing of American society who is declaring war. I mean a 9-0 decisión to slap down the rogue state governments from allowing people to choose the leader of the free world. Now you go back and prosecute those who engaged in the seditious conspiracy which has zero to do with the courts findings. It’s an organized group that will do whatever they have to to thwart democracy. You wanna see a twat pull your pants down.
 
But I thought they were 'Defenders of the Constitution"

Haven't been since before they fought against emancipation and equal rights. They were the kings men and women. They would enslave everyone they could, just as they did and tried to continue into the 1960s with the klan. They hate rights for all, and only want rights for THEM.

Haley is a terrible option and was/is being propped up by the uniparty but some are coming to the realization she has no shot.

She’d give us the Biden administration’s foreign policy, and prioritize Ukraine and Israel over our border.

Haley isn’t running a hit squad. She’s not running anything, and won’t be if she gets in office.

Killing Trump now would probably get as close to igniting a civil war as anything. At least if she’s his VP pick and he wins the presidency, she’d have cover of being his chosen #2 when he has his heart attack.
 
Who cares??? If Haley concedes tomorrow and endorses trump if she shows support he has a way of doing a 180. You don’t pay attention to anything
Trump cares. As I just posted. Haley will not be the VP. My prediction 100%. Will eat crow if wrong.
