Wasserman Schultz: ‘Hopefully’ Trump Will Be Banned from Other State Ballots
Breitbart ^ | 12.22.2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/22/2023 10:39:02 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said Friday on MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports” that she was hopeful former President Donald Trump will be banned from other state ballots following the Colorado Supreme Court ruling.

Wasserman Schultz said, “I know there has been a lot of chatter over the last few days since this court ruling about whether or not section three of the 14th Amendment was intended to apply to presidents of the United States, foreign presidents. The Section 3 begins, ‘No person shall,’ I mean, it doesn’t have an exception for other offices, and it applies specifically if you are an officer of the United States and you swore to uphold an oath to support the Constitution of the United States.”

I would rather they find that the insurrection clause was repealed

Ed Meese has some analysis on 14:3 and claims it was repealed by two legislative acts.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove
such a disability.10
The last sentence in Section 3 giving Congress the authority to
“remove” the disability imposed by the amendment is unique. While seven
amendments have language giving Congress the “power to enforce” each
amendment “by appropriate legislation,” only the Fourteenth Amendment
has language giving Congress the power to specifically void the provisions

Amnesty Acts of 1872 and 1898. Four years after the Fourteenth
Amendment’s ratification, Congress exercised its power under Section 3
and passed the Amnesty Act of 1872 with the required two-thirds vote in
each House.15 The Act provided

In 1860, the Democrats got Republican Abraham Lincoln thrown off the ballot in at least 10 states. That did not end well for them.

It's time to throw out the voting rights act that the Democrats keep bludgeoning Republicans with, if this is what they really want and believe.

Yes. Trump is the modern day Abe Lincoln. I hope they run an ad equating Trump to Abe and the Democrats as slave holders. That would be a hoot.

Sooo, we had an insurrection by Trump supporters who wanted to take down the president........ wait, they wanted to take down their much loved President Trump as they were welcomed in and casually wandered around peacefully? Yeah, only a demonrat could twist it this much. They are absolutely, positively, scared out of their undies afraid he’ll win and this time go scorched earth on them and their secrets.

That’s Obama’s specialty: dredging up some irrelevant crap to disqualify the other guy.

So we know who’s running the game plan on Trump.

We have and are being invaded. The nightmares that come because of it still yet to be seen. Why those responsible
for it care of consequences of what they say and do hereafter?
