Trump has been ACCUSED of insurrection, etc. He has been tried and found guilty of NOTHING.

Tax attorney Caplan almost certainly knows the judge, knows him well enough to know he will not be thrown out with a frivolous suit, that there is little chance he will face losing his law license.

(Frivolous as in filed with the intent to harass, annoy, or disturb the opposite party.)

It’s all merely communist propaganda to impress the sheep and try to swing the low IQ voters.

Exactly, this dope acts like he’s already been found guilty and he hasn’t even come to trial yet. I wouldn’t want to have this idiot as my tax attorney.

“Since he hasn’t been convicted of anything, there’s no way he can be said to be banned from running for office under the 14th amendment. Without a conviction on such charges, legally, the 14th amendment can’t be invoked.“

The problem with your argument is that the amendment was written to bar those who had been in Congress before the Civil War and then either fought for the South or held elective office in the Confederacy from being able to be elected again after the war. Many if not most of those people were never charged with insurrection or rebellion. Are you saying this clause of the 14th Amendment would not have applied to them?

Now I am not saying the lawyer is correct, I am just saying your argument that a conviction is required doesn’t hold water.

I know they have no chance with this, but if they did succeed, it would be time for civil war.

dumb-ss lawyer has already judged before any court case or verdict? He knows better but he’s just full of hate rather than have to consider truth he doesn’t want to hear.

How many Trump Supporting lawyers have Filed Disbarment Complaints and Demands to the BAR association over this so far? Shouldn’t they be?
