Sen. Tim Kaine said Sunday he believes Donald Trump’s 2024 White House bid could be quashed under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment over the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack and the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
The amendment states that a person cannot be elected president if he has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
“In my view, the attack on the Capitol that day was designed for a particular purpose at a particular moment. That was to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power as laid out in the Constitution,” Mr. Kaine, Virginia Democrat, said on ABC’s “This Week.”
“I think there’s a powerful argument to be made. My sense is it’s probably going to get resolved in the courts,” he said.
However, Mr. Kaine’s legal theory has already been tried and rejected.
An Obama-appointed judge last week dismissed a case brought by a Florida tax attorney seeking to oust Mr. Trump from the state’s presidential ballot under the 14th Amendment.
Mr. Kaine seemed to acknowledge that, by saying his party has “just got to win in 2024.”

Virginians must feel ashamed to have such a lunatic represent them! Of course the other clown is no better. Must be the water that makes the citizens think that way there?
A majority against the likes of mock and kim would have voted them out before they got in if
not for the
Virginia STEAL
Virginia’s north (the dc getters) and the takeover in “D” areas have orchestrated car trunk ballot hordes that saved the bacon come their report returns which are always (let’s see how many we need) late.
Nobody did anything back then and nobody does anything now
I really don’t think elections have been unmolested for many many decades in the swamped ole dominion.
Trump broke the mold in 2016 and we see what that brought down on us they have no shame in their doings 2020 hence.
Tim Kaine has always been a bizarre fruitcake
He claimed that Russia and Georgia stopped fighting because Obama asked them to stop
Well maybe if Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is the Antichrist ......
Yes AND Hillary’s running mate
“On July 22, 2016, Hillary Clinton introduced Tim Kaine as her vice-presidential running mate.”
The democrat machine tells us every day what a horrible candidate Trump is as do the RINOs. If he were such a horrible candidate they would welcome his nomination as the Republican candidate. They do not. They know he can win and they fear him.
Trump has not been found guilty of treason in a court of law.
Is Citizen Kaine able to interest Russia, even as a street hooker?
Tim’s mouth makes powerful butt wind noises!
Section 5 of the 14th Amendment assigns enforcement powers to Congress.
States, prosecutors and no-name lawyers don’t have enforcement standing.
Here’s some news for the Rats, Trump will be elected even if we have to write his name in and he is in jail. And, a suggestion to all the Rats out there, better find a rathole in some foreign country that doesn’t have extradition with the US because Trump will be coming for you and jail is waiting!
Now now now, hasn’t Timmy received the message that senile joey wants to run against Trump lol
“That is what an insurrection looks like “
I know what you meant but it isn’t an insurrection if you are upholding the Law and. Constitutional order.
Stopping the count in five places SIMULTANEOUSLY is prima facie evidence of a conspiracy. THAT conspiracy should have been gotten to the bottom of forthwith.
only if there’s a connection between Perkins Coie and Kaine.
and a dossier, and a pee tape, and a guy named McCain to run interference, and a guy named James comey....and....well, you get the drift.
Timmy the clown is still light in the loafers.
Cannot help to think that the more the Leftists try to get rid of Trump, the more non-Trump GOP voters (other than Operatives, of course) will migrate towards, as we’re now seeing.
On the one hand, they insist that Trump is so disliked, and supported by only a fringe group of racists and bigots, that he’s not even worth talking about. On the other, they do everything possible to keep him from even being on the ballot.
These are incredibly dishonest and despicable people, and are the reason that somehow, some way, Trump must win.
There it is.
For the hundredth time……
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment DOES NOT APPLY TO THE PRESIDENT !
The Section does not mention the President it only mentions ELECTORS OF THE PRESIDENT.
The section also mentions OFFICES UNDER THE UNITED STATES. The Presidency has never in US history been considered an office UNDER the United States. In fact David McKnight’s 1878 study of the Electoral System of the US, mentions that it is obvious that the Presidency is NOT AN OFFICE UNDER THE UNITED STATES. Being that this was written only twelve years after the 14th Amendment, it bears more relevance than opinions now 145+ years later.
