This idea of picking and choosing which part of the Constitution we’d like to apply — “constitution à la carte” — is extremely dangerous. If we are going to ignore part of the 14th Amendment because Donald Trump is popular, why stop there?

Then why ignore Section 5 of the 14th amendment?

5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

You know Liberals. They pick and choose and then accuse their opponents of doing the same.

Wonder what they think about the 2nd amendment?

And what about due process? Has President Trump been convicted of Insurrection? I must have missed it.

But States can remove or decline to put him on the ballot. Because of, what exactly? Hell, I have to look it up because I don’t know their excuse. Insurrection? WTF?

you must respect enforcement of the 14th Amendment

Translation -> Twist the meaning of the 14th, then enforce that.

And Congress did, in 18 USC.
