None of the ex-Confederate officers and officials were charged with or convicted of insurrection yet the 14th did bar them from office until Congress ruled otherwise. The Amendment does not require trial or conviction.
No section 3 of the 14th which is what they are trying to claim is not self enforcing despite what Lawrence tribe and the rest of the frauds claim. Section 5 is Congress shall have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article, not the courts and not some YouTube watching cow from Maine. Congress passed the insurrection and rebellion act as a result. This was to keep confederates from office. And at the end of the day, President Trump has not been charged with insurrection. Just because the Dems and assistant Dems say it is an insurrection does not make it one. They cannot just pronounce him guilty just as a court cannot just declare you are guilty of a crime without a trial. Do you understand yet or just want to keep pretending that President Trump’s political opponents are on the up and up here?
The fake caterwauling is ludicrous . Let the voters decide.
The left tries to argue orally?
Ten minutes of this crap?
SCOTUS is starting to look bad.
Will Trump have equal time?
George Carlin was right.

People reacting to the Maine, Colorado et. al. stunts are saying that Trump was never charged or convicted of ‘insurrection’ which is irrelevant when it comes to the 14th Amendment disqualification from holding office.
Then there’s the patent absurdity of referring to Jan. 6 as an ‘insurrection’ or even worse ‘an armed insurrection’. But the dems apparently have no shame, do they?
Throw this out and give Ms. Griswald a swift kick in the ars.
