[Ciaphas Cain]

These people just don’t know when to quit.

[cotton1706]

Yeah, good luck getting that passed in two bodies before November.

[bray]

What violence?

[mywholebodyisaweapon]

Double jeopardy, by the moron Raskin’s own admission...

[plain talk]

“But the House impeachment vote alone is not enough to preclude him from the ballot”

Yeah especially since the Senate acquitted him.

[rightwingcrazy]

‘We all know that Congress is a nearly non-functioning body,’ Griswold said on MSNBC of the ruling’s provision deeming Congress the right authority to bar Trump from running. ‘It will be up to the American voters to save our democracy.’

What a scary idea, having to rely on the voters to save democracy.

[Jim W N]

Democrats...call for court to be DISBANDED

The REAL insurrection against The Free Constitutional Republican Government of the United States of America.

[SkiKnee]

"...that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by section three of the 14th amendment."

Did someone commit "insurrection"? I don't seem to recall anyone even being charged with "insurrection". What am I missing here?/s

[NorthMountain]

These creeps are proposing to consider a “Bill of Attainder”.

[Steely Tom]

The Democrats get to choose who runs against them.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

'I believe Donald Trump incited the violence that took place on January 6, and my vote to impeach him for it reflects that belief....'

It's not what you believe. It's what you can prove. And there is simply no proof that coincides with your beliefs.

[fwdude]

They are floor-kicking, petulant, breath-holding, screeching little tantrum brats at this point.

[wildcard_redneck]

That would be a bill of attainder and therefore unconstitutional. Congress has the power to peach and that is it. They blew their wad in 2020 so they are done with that angle.

A bill of attainder (also known as an act of attainder or writ of attainder or bill of penalties) is an act of a legislature declaring a person, or a group of people, guilty of some crime, and punishing them, often without a trial. As with attainder resulting from the normal judicial process, the effect of such a bill is to nullify the targeted person's civil rights, most notably the right to own property (and thus pass it on to heirs), the right to a title of nobility, and, in at least the original usage, the right to life itself.

[Fury]

LOL!

The Supreme Court cannot be “disbanded” - unless a Constitutional Amendment is passed and ratified by the States to do so.

[Red Badger]

The Supreme Court cannot be ‘disbanded’. It’s in the Constitution....................

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

This is good, very good.

The American people will see who in congress are Americans dedicated to the Rupublic and who are the treasonous anti_Republic destroyers of elected representative government.

The speaker needs to get this to a floor vote ASAP.

[Dead Corpse]

This will only end with gunfire.

Either we win playing by the rules and the Left flips out.

Or we lose because the rules no longer matter and we take action to fix things once and for all before the Left loads us all onto boxcars.

[SheepWhisperer]

Haley knew of this plan and now it’s clear why she’s not dropping out

[wildcard_redneck]

This bullshit will be dead in the water. The relevant passage in the Constitution is Article II, Section 4:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

The Congress can remove a current officer but the Constitution does not give Congress the power to prevent someone from running for office.

That, and the fact that a bill of detainer is unconstitutional means they have no option but to win the election - through cheating.

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

It takes a 2/3rds majority in the House and the same in the Senate.
