Top Democrat Jamie Raskin said he is working with fellow liberals in Congress to revive legislation that would disqualify Donald Trump from running for office in light of the new Supreme Court ruling.
The high court on Monday ruled 9-0 that only Congress, not Colorado, can ban Trump from the ballot and the former president must be reinstated on the Centennial State's primary ballots.
Raskin, D-Md., who chairs the Oversight Committee, said he was collaborating with colleagues like Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., to 'revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by section three of the 14th amendment.'
Such a bill was first introduced in 2022 by Schultz and would create a pathway for the Department of Justice to sue to keep candidates off the ballot under the 14th Amendment.
'The House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it,' Raskin told CNN shortly after the ruling. 'So, the House has already pronounced upon that.'
Meanwhile Maine Democrat Rep. Jared Golden told DailyMail.com in a statement: 'The Supreme Court got it right.'
'I believe Donald Trump incited the violence that took place on January 6, and my vote to impeach him for it reflects that belief. But the House impeachment vote alone is not enough to preclude him from the ballot,' he said.

Impeachment in the House is just an indictment. The trial is in the Senate. President Trump was never convicted in a Senate trial resulting from an impeachment. Basically, it's (impeachment) is a failed indictment and means nothing without a conviction in trial. They (Democrats) know this intimately and are just politically posturing.
The Supreme Court cannot be “disbanded” - unless a Constitutional Amendment is passed and ratified by the States to do so.

That is just red meat for their dumba$$ followers. Nothing more, nothing less.
Fires up their insane base no doubt.
Republicans can draft legislation that would disqualify Biden for multiple crimes.
Democrats are absolutely hateful....and the REAL insurrectionists!
“Top Democrat Jamie Raskin said he is working with fellow liberals in Congress to revive legislation that would disqualify Donald Trump from running for office in light of the new Supreme Court ruling.”
These guys are real idiots, even among liberals they are retarded.
There is no legislation that can kick out a candidate.
The insurrection was committed in November 2020 by the dems when they stole the election from Trump.
“ Meanwhile political commentator Keith Olbermann wrote on X that the Supreme Court ‘betrayed democracy.’
‘Its members including Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension. And collectively the “court” has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate. It must be dissolved. “
And your law degree is from where, mister I only have a bachelors degree in communication?
Go back ato calling baseball. You were good at that.
They don’t have to name their target. Something like ,... any person voted by the House or charged by the Dept of Justice of organizing violent resistance to the federal govt in carrying out its lawful duties shall under Art 3 of the XIV Amendment be denied the right to hold federal office or any office in any of the several states...
would be sufficient. And if Trump is removed the Dems win and any non Dem POTUS will be from that point on an impossibility. Their democracy will prevail. Now I am not a fan of Pres Trump but he is the only hope for the continuation of Liberty.
The only violence on January 6th was
by that idiot cop who shot the unarmed Ashley Babbitt in the neck and let her bleed out on the floor. That’s the extent of the ‘insurrection’.
Swamp fear is so thick you could slice it with a knife….
I say bring it…
We’ll finally have an official review of the 2020 election, something the democrats and RINOs have been desperate to prevent.
To date, not a single court has allowed Trump to present the evidence of massive fraud. Not a state court, nor a federal court or SCOTUS, a benefit extended to Al Gore in 2000 on much slimmer evidence.
In an appalling statement, SCOTUS stated that the sitting president Donald Trump “lacked standing”, ridiculous in the extreme that a sitting president lacked standing in his own re election efforts, one that was overwhelmingly and transparently fraudulent.
So bring it, dems and RINOs, let’s finally have that election review that will absolutely nullify every single thing the imposter signed into law.
Nothing Biden has done is legal, and none of his actions carry the weight of law.
And Biden, et al, are taken into custody with no bail, since they obviously represent a flight risk.
Game on…
And then it would have to pass three-quarters of the states.
Not going to happen.
I wouldn’t vote for Haley if you paid me.
Why doesn’t she send her two stinkin’ kids to join the military so they can go off to fight and be maimed in one of those endless wars she’s always promoting?
Good one. In yiddish: Feigeles
Yeah, I noticed that too.
The RATs would have to control the House, God forbid, for
little Jamie to be the Chairman.
Thankfully, he is not in that position, as you pointed out.
A mail in ballot of sorts.
Bill of Attainder
They've taken things too far, as they always do. As in any criminal conspiracy coming apart, this is the time that the apparatchiks and accomplices start thinking they maybe ought to tell their stories if they want to save their own hides. Lots of "friends" looking at "friends" and wondering whom they've been talking to.
Yes. She is part of it. I was a holdout over the concept of the “Deep State”, but...no more.
I crossed over about four years ago, I think.
