Raskin: Trump Is Already ‘Constitutionally Disqualified from Holding Office’
Breitbart ^ | 12/19/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/19/2022 5:43:32 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Monday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that former President Donald Trump was already “constitutionally disqualified from holding office, having participated in insurrection.”

Raskin said, “The historians and political scientists we have spoken to have been very clear about this. The surest sign of a successful coup coming is a recently failed coup where the coup plotters and insurrectionists got to diagram the weaknesses in the existing structure. And so if there’s impunity, if they think they can operate with impunity and under the cover of darkness, then they are undoubtedly going to come back again. So I think that everything we know about what’s taken place around the world with coups and what’s taken place historically tells us that there must be consequences, and not just for the hundreds of foot soldiers who are already facing the music and many of whom have already been convicted or pled guilty, but also for people all the way at the top, the masterminds and the ringleaders.”

So electric cars, electric heat pumps.

It's a good thing we were forced to use low consumption LED bulbs to save electricity for our electric cars and electric heat pumps.

Jamie Raskin is the nitwit that said at a House hearing that the illegals swarming America's border were being driven by "climate change."

The guy is a terminal--but manically Trump-obsessed--lamester.

So he is saying that the failed deep state coup in 2016 - 2020 will be followed by a successful coup against the next Republican president?

“Let the jury consider their verdict,” the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.
“No, no!” said the Queen. “Sentence first—verdict afterwards.”
“Stuff and nonsense!” said Alice loudly. “The idea of having the sentence first!”

Under the US Constitution, there are substantive rights and due process rights. In order to be denied one’s substantive rights, one is entitled to due process. To be disqualified under the 14th, there is an implied and inherent right to due process.

Impeachment could be one such process and may be the only process that Congress has available. The charges of “aiding or comforting the enemy” would have to be specifically mentioned in the articles of impeachment and the “enemy” would have to be defined. A defendant has a right to know the charges against him and all penalties that may be imposed on him so he can defend himself, including exerting all his other constitutional rights (confronting his accusers). None of this was even done at the Jan 6 entirely partisan Kangaroo Court. It makes 3rd world justice look advanced. Since Trump is out of office, impeachment option is not available. For elected people who are sworn to uphold the Constitution - to suggest this should be a reason to disqualify Trump now, they in fact disqualified themselves by denying Trump his constitutional rights - they are disqualifiied for failure to uphold the Constitution. Now how does one get them removed? Not so easy is it.

If your (R_Kangel’s) very broad reading were true, and leaving aside any discussion of its collision with the 1st Amendment, then all elected demonkkraps who merely voiced support and encouragement for the neo-Marxist should be disqualified. The demonkkraps have a century plus of aiding and comforting communists beyind mere speech - they were never disqualified. Raskin is an idiot, a political hack of the first degree, a conspiracy theory kool-aid drinker who can’t control his emotions. Demonkkraps need to fill the airwaves with this to keep people from taalking about the accumulating disasters and violations of citizens rights that are happening in real time in this country.

Then all elected demonkkraps who merely voiced support and encouragement for the neo-Marxist BLM should be disqualified.

“What insurrection???? You don’t get to arbitrarily change the meaning of words.”

Why not? They were pretty successful doing it with “Vaccine” and “Recession.”

Impeachment is invalid, since Trump has been relegated to being a private citizen as they claimed in 2021. Or are they saying that he’s actually the rightful president . . . ?

From the podium at the event itself, he told people to
peacefully go over to Capital Hill if they wanted, but
to keep it peaceful.

I realize that speech was so well hidden from the public
that the hearing committee never heard of it. /s

Further multiple times prior he asked them if they wanted troops to help keep order. Nope, Nanzi Pelosi and Schmuckie said no.
