An attorney in Venice, California, filed a federal lawsuit on Saturday to bar former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary election, arguing that he is disqualified due to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to a report.
The lawsuit argues that the Fourteenth Amendment states that no one can hold office who has previously taken an oath of office to support the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or gave aid to those who did, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
The attorney, Stephen Yagman, filed the lawsuit on behalf of a California voter identified as “A.W. Clark.”

The Dem Marxists will continue court shopping until they find fellow Dem Marxist “judges” willing to disregard the Constitution and declare Trump ineligible to run.
Yagman was convicted of one count of tax evasion, one count of bankruptcy fraud, and 17 counts of money laundering on August 23, 2007. Continues the tradition of Zinoviev and Kamenev.
Yagman? Iirc he was a vexatious litigant some years ago against somebody. He is a crank. I just don’t remember the specifics.
No standing
Did Trump fight as a Confederate officer in the Civil War?
If not, he is qualified to run for President in 2024!!
Confederate officers were all pardoned with no conditions.
He had to destroy democracy to save it.
Good. I’m glad these fools are filing this crap now rather than later, cuz it will get struck down quickly and we can be done with it.
They misread the constitution.
IF REPUBLICANS KEEP THIS CRAP UP-—
HOW MANY OF US WILL RE-REGISTER AS INDEPENDENT-—
OR IF TRUMP STARTS THE MAGA PARTY-—REGISTER THERE
No standing. Saw a lawyer on Steve Bannon. The 14th amendment does not mention the president or the vice president. It states ELECTORS for the president or vice president.
Chief Justice Roberts has already said it does not apply to a president. He said the president is not an officer of the government. He is an elected official.
All this effort is merely deep state tactics to further try to smear Trump. It has no chance; the Senate already cleared Trump of insurrection charges in a impeachment court presided over by Chief Justice Roberts.
Another attorney should file a disbarment suit
I don’t know that the lawyer is a Republican or that the person or organization he is working for is a Republican person/organization. Theerfore, why should we blame “Republicans” for this?
This mf lawyer get this to happen, I’ll write in trumps name, the sue the county for not counting my vote
You have a linkie for that. I am dealing with some leftards over that Robert’s statement
Let’s suppose for a moment that all of these 14th Amendment lawsuits are being coordinated.
If so, then that’s a tell. The tell being that they know all these cases are dogs and the chances of them winning any of them dwindle by the day.
More attempted insurance.
There is a recent Supreme Court opinion discussing the scope of the Constitution’s “Officers of the United States”-language. In Free Enter. Fund v. Pub. Co. Accounting Oversight Bd. (2010), Chief Justice Roberts observed that “[t]he people do not vote for the ‘Officers of the United States.’” Rather, “officers of the United States” are appointed exclusively pursuant to Article II, Section 2 procedures. It follows that the President, who is an elected official, is not an “officer of the United States.”
They are not people they’re lemmings and lab rats they are trained for life.
Correction: Roberts did not preside over Trump’s second impeachment trial.
Let them do it.
Having only a Democrat on the ballot for president might just shock those who don’t pay attention out of their slumber, and leave no question that the Democrats will do anything to steal the election.
