Democrats announce bill to kick Trump OFF the ballot immediately after the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he could be allowed to stay on: The left melts down over ruling and even calls for court to be DISBANDED
Daily Mail ^ | 3.4.2024 | Morgan Phillips

Top Democrat Jamie Raskin said he is working with fellow liberals in Congress to revive legislation that would disqualify Donald Trump from running for office in light of the new Supreme Court ruling.

The high court on Monday ruled 9-0 that only Congress, not Colorado, can ban Trump from the ballot and the former president must be reinstated on the Centennial State's primary ballots.

Raskin, D-Md., who chairs the Oversight Committee, said he was collaborating with colleagues like Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., to 'revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by section three of the 14th amendment.'

Such a bill was first introduced in 2022 by Schultz and would create a pathway for the Department of Justice to sue to keep candidates off the ballot under the 14th Amendment.

'The House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it,' Raskin told CNN shortly after the ruling. 'So, the House has already pronounced upon that.'

Meanwhile Maine Democrat Rep. Jared Golden told DailyMail.com in a statement: 'The Supreme Court got it right.'

'I believe Donald Trump incited the violence that took place on January 6, and my vote to impeach him for it reflects that belief. But the House impeachment vote alone is not enough to preclude him from the ballot,' he said.

When they finally are broke, and no other country will buy their debt, and they cannot pay the bureaucrats and military, then they will downsize, but not until then..............

But then there have been a few grumblings about Barret not fully backing today's opinion and leaving some wiggle room for Congress to decide the matter on their own (or at least my understanding of it).

Yup. I don't trust ACB either. And her opinion today was very weak.

“The highest court in the land issued its decision per curiam, meaning that all nine justices agreed on a basic premise: Allowing a state to unilaterally take this kind of sweeping action would create chaos.”

The Democratic Party IS the party of CHAOS.

The pathetic media, on announcing the unanimous decision, immediately pivoted to “but there’s an Immunity Decision in April...”

Democrats tried to keep Lincoln off the ballot, too.

They do anything for power.

ACB only had her own "opinion" so as to save face and not vote with Elana/Sonia/Katanji as a block of 4. She sure wanted to.

“Chinanigans”

Is that the Chinese form of “shenanigans”?

“These people just don’t know when to quit.”

And Republicans just don’t know when to fight.

And that, pretty much sums up the problem in less than two dozen words.

My bad, I didn't read it carefully. She said "Our DemocracyTM". She means one-party rule by Democrats, which is something you can't rely on the voters to enact. Hard to believe, but they may even disapprove.

The federal statute for the crime of insurrection, passed by congress provides for disqualification from office upon conviction. 18 USC 2383.

Why do we need anything else? If they think Trump committed insurrection, try and convict him of it.

You mean the Democrats Jamie. The house was run by Democrats at the time and even then Trump didn’t get a fair hearing.
