Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Tuesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that the Supreme Court unanimously overturning a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that disqualified former President Donald Trump from the ballot was SCOTUS punting.
Raskin said, “The, court didn’t exactly disagree with it. They just said that they’re not the ones to figure it out. It’s not going to be a matter for judicial resolution under Section Three of the 14th Amendment, but it’s up to Congress to enforce it. I disagree with that interpretation just because the other parts of the 14th Amendment are self executing. People can go to court and say that something violates equal protection, even if there’s not a federal statute that allows them to do that. But any event, the Supreme Court punted and said, it’s up to Congress to act.”
He continued, “And so I am working with a number of my colleagues, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swalwell, 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 and the House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it. So the House has already pronounced upon that, and there was also a 57 to 43 vote in the Senate. The question is whether speaker Mike Johnson would allow us to bring this to the floor of the House?”

Yep.
You need to remember, the Constitution is not the Democrats favorite document.
Indeed. Alot of folks dont remember this tidbit.
“Where was the trial that convicted him?”
Period. The end.
Democrats and RINOs will not tell us who we can vote for.
Not saying they won’t try.
Do-rag Raskin is a repulsive little insect….
They wrote a movie script and now they can’t sell tickets 😁
SCOTUS: “You can’t kick someone off the ballot for sedition if they haven’t actually been found guilty of sedition. Which, is a determination Congress needs to make.”
DNC: “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Oranch Man is t3h BADZ!”
If this situation was a GOP effort to remove a democrat candidate for a charge that had not been found guilty of…. Raskin would be praising the wise and thoughtful application of law from the USSC.
It’s not a stretch to think Raskin would favor imprisoning those outside of his party for the most minor transgression. These are terrible evil people.
He is learning from Nikki Haley, where after she gets her ass kicked she hails it a victory.
Good luck with that
Jamie is working hard to take Joes place on the ballot
Yeah, the SCOTUS punted the Colorado Supreme Court about 70 yards.
LOL! If you think that Democrats are going nuts now, the rumor is that the Vourt has also decided Trump has full civil and criminal immunity. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in the streets.
Too bad cancer didn’t get him. Can only hope.
Can guarantee that:
1. As soon as President Trump is officially labeled the nominee, Democrat candidates will be running on promises to impeach him.
2. Once President Trump is re-elected, Democrats file articles of impeachment.
3. If President Trump is not re-elected, Democrats will continue to pursue him with nonstop lawfare, including creating Letiticia James styled new crimes if needed.
The adults are not in charge of the Dem party. It is Animal Farm level of government.
Hell, I bet even the Grim Reaper would even crack a smile on that one.
DIDN’T TRUMP ALREADY SURVIVE SUCH CHARGES FROM CONGRESS? AQUITTAL.
