Legal scholars? This is like the “experts” on global warming or how safe and effective the Covid vaccine is. When a liberal uses terms like this, it’s supposed to end the discussion. It clearly means they have deferred reasoning and logic to the sanctity of those who know more than everyone else, especially Christians or conservatives. It’s saves liberals from any questions or exercises of intellectual analysis. It’s the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

If the 14th Amendment applies to Trump, then it also applies to anyone who threatens the Deep State.

Me: For the country to survive, things have to drastically change.
Deep State: You’re inciting rebellion! You are therefore barred from all elective offices.

But a corrupt Democrat whose family has taken millions from his countries enemies deserves to finish and also serve another term is AOK?

Speaking of our two tiered justice system...whatever happened to the Joe Biden and Mike Pence classified documents investigations? It was 24 hour news coverage when the feds raided Mar-a-Largo.

Lawyer Tribe is a Democrat misanthrope who hates all Conservatives. Luttig is the cowardly clown who hid behind Pence’s skirt when Trump was calling the election into question.

It’s become ever more apparent that our country has the resources, power, and ability to achieve any result, outcome, or event that they choose. Complain about it if you must. Be outraged, and demand that someone should do something to hold these corrupt tyrants accountable. Like Parisians complaining about the Nazis ruining their fair city in 1940, there may be little recourse other than to wait for the shooting to start.

the 14th Amendment, a post-Civil War provision that excludes from future office anyone who, previously, as a sworn-in public official, “engaged in insurrection or rebellion … or [had] given aid or comfort to the enemies” of the government.

When the government considers the “people” as enemies we
are not in Kansas any more.

One only needs consider a majority socialist supreme court
to understand the consequences of such a stance!

That was the same era where there was “attorney-client privilege”. Then Trump happened.

Patriots should permit no voting at all in any jurisdiction where Trump is kept off the ballot.

So, according to these legal “scholars” it is the charge that is important, not whether a person is guilty or not. That is the typical democrat position when it comes to a Republican. Well, why not, it worked against an Alaska senator and a Texan representative. We have no legal system in this country any more.

The word “increasingly” in the headline is the blatant lie. The only thing that’s “increasing” is CNN asking leftists what they think about the eeeevvvvil Trump.

First of all, no real conservative would have any dealings with THE ATLANTIC. Secondly, being a cynic about most things associated with Washington and the eternal quest for omnipotence is, “What’s the payoff for them personally?”.

Lying media predictive programming for what the leftists are actually trying to do in the states where he’s targeted...make him ineligible to be on those swing state ballots.

The real motive.

Stalin would be laughing

“Prominent conservative legal scholars are increasingly raising a constitutional argument that 2024 Republican candidate Donald Trump should be barred from the presidency because of his actions to overturn the previous presidential election result.”

First sentence has five embedded lies, based on a not very attentive cursorily glance:

1. Prominent legal scholars

2. Prominent conservative scholars

3. Scholars

4. Barred from presidency

5. Actions to overturn election
