I think they are wrong and doomed. If Trump somehow becomes the Republican nominee, let the people vote.
The spreading effort should be concerning to voters. All it will take is one or two states to remove Trump and he might not be able to win overall. Democrats might not have to cheat to win.
Trump is apparently writing letters, such as to the New Hampshire Secretary of State "urging him not to remove Trump from the ballot." That he is even writing letters makes clear this is real and a threat to his campaign.
This needs to be settled by the Supreme Court next week. Otherwise it is the worst kind of law fare because Trump is having to fight 15 or 20 battles at once.
This guy is NOT a GOP lawyer...That’s obvious....
He is a Bush boy. Hmm, guess we know one of the three.
Biden 2/1
Trump 2/1
Moochelle 11/1
Newsome 12/1
Vivek 12/1
DeSantis 12/1
Lowest price ever on Trump.
Some campaign-DeSantis fr 7/2 to 12/1.
Every ad, tweet, post creates fewer DeSantis’ voters.
SECTION 3 of the 14th Amendment DOES NOT APPLY TO THE PRESIDENT.
The President is NOT one of the positions explicitly mentioned in the text (Senators, Representatives, Electors). Was this some sort of oversight on the part of the authors of the 14th ??? You would think that mentioning the President would be front and center in this section if it was applicable. And why be concerned about “ELECTORS OF THE PRESIDENT” ???? If an insurrectionist running for President could be disqualified, his Electors would be fairly irrelevant at that point but yet they are one of only three positions specifically mentioned.
What about the next part that addresses “any office under the United States” ? Well that won’t work either since the President is not considered an office UNDER the United States, it is the Chief Executive OF the United States. In 1878 David McKnight authored his study of the Electoral System of the United States and in that work he came to the conclusion that the President is “obviously not” an office under the United States. Being that he wrote this just 12 years after the 14th Amendment was passed, and his view has not been challenged for over 100 years, it is pretty reasonable to assume his view represents the basic civic thinking of the time much more so than partisan thinking interprets Section 3 today.
What a crock....
GOP lawyer..
Lawyers... They are the rats in the barn, the cockroaches in the cupboard, the termites that are eating away at the underpinnings of our nation and the people’s liberty.
