What is it with liberals and not understanding the constitution? It’s not that hard of a concept, the vocabulary is a little dated, but it’s not complex. None of those disqualifications apply to Trump and unless you feel like BLM protestors should also be barred from holding office in the future, it’s a weird hill to die on.
First, I’m not dying on any hill. Second, I’m less liberal than you might imagine. Third, I’m pointing out exactly what literal Constitutional scholars have pointed out. So, instead of personal attacks, perhaps you should sit down, because yes, the 14th Amendment does apply and has been shown that numerous times across numerous jurisdictions, and by much more educated minds than us idiots on Lemmy.
The Supreme Court doesn’t always get it right. And they didn’t, yet again. And, yet again, we the people will have to clean up the mess which could, and likely will, take decades.
And lastly, BLM protestors did not try to subvert an election and incite a literal insurrection on the Capitol, so enough with the logical fallacies, please. If you want to spout off that nonsense, take it to Reddit where it belongs.
I must have missed the part where Trump went to trial for insurrection, and was found guilty of insurrection. I’m pretty sure that many of the people that were literally there on your sacred day in January were not found guilty of insurrection either. So while they may or may not be felons, which may or may not disqualify them from voting, they would still be able to run for Congress and President. So if the people you call “insurrectionists” are still eligible to run for federal office, why would a citizen who wasn’t involved in that, let alone brought to trial for that have anything to do with the 14th amendment?
This whole circus is basically “but her emails” for blue maga.
And there’s nothing in the Constitution that requires a trial or conviction either. And in fact Luttig and other scholars have said exactly that as well.

You’re inventing things and wasting my time.
I’m done replying to you.
