"All of these efforts and threats are a desperate attempt to gain political advantage through patently unconstitutional actions. They are a waste of time and resources and should be dismissed as such."

This is not rocket science. The 1898 law says that “the disability imposed by section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States heretofore incurred is hereby removed". But this law is not even cited in the Colorado opinion--was it even cited to the Court?
Facts?, Facts?
Leftist Jurisprudence don’t need no stink’n Facts.
Wait, how can a Congressionally-passed law undo or erase a constitutional amendment?! If it can be done here, then it can be done with the second amendment as well.
It can if Congress passed it with a 2/3 vote. It’s written right in the amendment.
Because that amendment specifically stated that Congress could remove that “disability”, i.e. the prohibition against holding office, by legislation rather than by another amendment.
Because the CREWS gang don’t care.
Trump just posted that the last time Democrats took a Presidenal Canidate off the ballot eas Abraham Lincoln.
Okay, thanks. I’ll have to read up on that legislation. So, how or why did the court ignore it? Political theatre or incompetence?
The ‘Rats were apparently being real insurrectionists at that time.....
Section 3 does not even cover the President. The omission of the position of President in the text was not a simple oversight nor is the President covered by the “any position “under” the United States” text since the Presidency is an office “of” but not “under” the United States and there is a big difference.
The left are neo- Confederates.
These questions of “how could they?” are silly.
The did. Right in your face. This is about raw exercise of power, thumbing their nose, and daring you to do anything in response. And then getting ready to crush you if you do. Welcome to banana Republic dictatorship.
No, it's the abortion amendment. Check the emanations and perturbations.
How can a statute repeal part of a Constitutional Amendment ratified by the states? That doesn’t make sense.
It’s not rocket science, but it’s rather obvious that the 1898 law did not repeal the provision. A law cannot repeal a constitutional provision, only another constitutional amendment can.
What this statute clearly did, by its words, was remove any disability imposed on whoever otherwise would have been forbidden to hold office... as the amendment permits. No way this is helpful.
One of those leftist lunatics will try to disqualify Trump the old fashioned Democrat way. The media and entire establishment are encouraging and hoping for it.
Because the demoncrats weren’t satisfied with Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. In fact, they killed a sitting president and an insurrection has been in place ever since. They are the party of SLAVERY, SEDITION, SOCIALISM, and SURRENDER. Anything they do is a criminal act. Anyone who sides with them is an accomplice in their treason.
I thought it was the “GOOD AND PLENTY” clause.
