Congress is supposed to enforce the amendment; it’s literally written into the text.

If Trump’s voters can’t vote for Trump, they can vote for RFK, Jr., and even with all of the cheating, Biden likely can’t win.

Again, Trump did not get indicted and did not get convicted.
Innocent unless proven guilty.

Dems are following “people will continue with their current behavior unless stopped.” They think anything they feel is justification for any action.

I forget, when was Trump charged, tried and convicted of insurrection? You’ll think a judge would understand “due process”

Section Three provided a disability for certain federal offices for those who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the United States “or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” The last sentence of section Three provides, however: “But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” Amendment XIV, § 3. The better view of the historical record is that Congress repealed Section Three entirely. See Hans A. von Spakovsky, Efforts by Courts or State Officials to Bar Members of Congress from Running for Re-Election or Being Seated Are Unconstitutional, Heritage Fdn., April 6, 2022, https://www.heritage.org/sites/default/files/2023-04/LM301.pdf

The 1898 report of the Committee on the Judiciary offers the most definitive evidence of Congressional intent. It begins by observing that the bill under consideration was “to remove all disabilities imposed by the fourteenth article of the Constitution . . .”. 31 Cong. Rec., at 5404 (June 1, 1898). It observes that “it was not intended that this exclusion [i.e., Section 3 itself] should be permanent or universal . . ..” Id. Senator William H. Steward, who introduced the bill, S. 4578, said: “I introduce a bill, and ask unanimous consent to put it on its passage. It proposes to remove all disabilities imposed by the fourteenth article of the Constitution. It is but a line long.” 31 Cong. Rec. 4833 (May 12, 1898) (emphasis added).

IMHO, the most statemanlike path for the Supreme Court to take would be to declare the entire Section a dead letter, so that it doesn’t become the weapon of choice to make us into a banana republic even faster—because every regime in power can regard their opponents as insurrectionists. Unfortunately, as far as I know, no one is presenting this position to the Supreme Court, perhaps because a later Congress ignored all this when using Section Three to go after a Wisconsin socialist politician.

Illinois should be charged for all legal costs - appeal + subsequent appellate reversal - plus treble damages, for this frivolous action.

Trump was found not guilty of Insurrection via the Impeachment process.

Isn’t it insurrection to NOT secure the borders and dutifully enforce and uphold the laws of the United States?

Biden needs to be removed from the ballots immediately.

I’m guessing he isn’t long for this world unless he repents.

The Dems are trying to keep former Confederate leaders out——assuming that’s what they consider Trump.

Enforcement of Reconstruction would be impossible if Congress, in the words of Pennsylvania Representative Thaddeus Stevens, was “filled with yelling secessionists and hissing copperheads.”——History.com

We have to hear about Trump’s made up “crimes”. Meanwhile these pigs are stealing the country.
The judge belongs off the bench or under arrest. These are not legal acts just because he’s a “judge”.
