Not what they'll be ruling on. They will be deciding if that keeps him off the ballot in Colorado.I am asking, the whole basis for the ruling is that Trump committed or participated in Insurrection?
Okay, I'll play along. How about publicly demanding the firing of a govt official in return for financial aid. How about every decision beneficial to china he has made. The ev mandate is a tremendous benefit to their economy. See articles below. I'm not saying I agree with everything in them- I barely scanned them to be honest. However, that is not the point. The point is that there are clearly some who think biden is giving them preferential treatment. The argument can be made. Heck, I could argue giving iran billions of dollars constitutes giving aide to an enemy.You stated IF they decided " he has given aid or comfort to the enemies" by selling political influence to foreign adversaries through his son?" which there is ZERO evidence to support.
What policies were changed in return for those favors? Where is the proof that Joe was involved? Exactly, you got nothing UNLIKE what we all saw with our own eyes and heard directly from 35+ Republican witnesses to Trump's crimes, including many first-hand witnesses.
This is a red herring and again, you got nothing.
You have zero clue. That is NOT what they will be deciding. They will be deciding if Colorado can determine that trump engaged in insurrection, not if that can keep him off the ballot. CLEARLY, if he were convicted of insurrection, he would be off every ballot and would not be allowed to run for potus. This is 100% about the fact that they can not arbitrarily determine he engaged in insurrection.Not what they'll be ruling on. They will be deciding if that keeps him off the ballot in Colorado.
But the premise for keeping him off the ballot is that he committed insurrection, correct?Not what they'll be ruling on. They will be deciding if that keeps him off the ballot in Colorado.
Your first sentence is completely misleading and out of context as most Republicans and the entire Western world wanted that prosecutor removed because he would NOT prosecute corruption. Not playing along with the rest of your derpity OPINIONS. it's a waste of time because we all know you'll find a thousand convoluted ways to falsely claim it's the same thing.Okay, I'll play along.

Why is Biden appeasing China?
Mixed messages from Washington could lead Xi to believe that Biden lacks the strategic vision and political will to defend Taiwan against a Chinese attack.thehill.com

Biden’s failed foreign policy with China is based on a disastrous idea
Biden’s failed China policy is based on a disastrous idea that has failed before. But instead of standing up to our rival, the administration hurts ordinary Americans.www.foxnews.com
All of that is secondary, though. The main point is who gets to decide that and what that process entails.
You think we're dumb enough to believe YOU KNOW what you're talking about? LOLOLYou have zero clue. That is NOT what they will be deciding.

Again, you just completely miss the main point. I don't actually think Biden did that bc hunter was being paid off. It is not about why or even if, biden or trump did any of those things. It is about the process by which those determinations are made, ie. can those 4 judges arbitrarily determine trump engaged in insurrection and could another state supreme court determine biden engaged in a similar unconstitutional behavior.Your first sentence is completely misleading and out of context as most Republicans and the entire Western world wanted that prosecutor removed because he would NOT prosecute corruption.

It may be possible they could, but not probable. You're really reaching to an absurd length to draw a comparison of the two.Again, you just completely miss the main point.

You are literally too stupid to have logical arguments with. The supreme court is the ultimate authority on if something violates the united states (federal) constitution. The fact you can not grasp that is astonishingly moronic. Whether or not something violates the united states constitution is not a states right issue. Dobbs and the colorodo decision have nothing in common.You think we're dumb enough to believe YOU KNOW what you're talking about? LOLOL
Were you one of the ones who claimed the Supreme Court was right in the Dobbs decision by returning it to the states to decide? If so, then of course you'll agree that a state can absolutely decide that he engaged in insurrection, if you're a believer in states rights that is.... so my point stands.
That is my point. I am not advocating whether either is true, or not. I am saying that those 4 judges can not make that determination.It may be possible they could, but not probable. You're really reaching to an absurd length to draw a comparison of the two.
Dude, just stfu because you do not know what you're talking about. Way back in this thread, I already stated that the Supreme Court will be using one of two off-ramps, neither being whether a state can decide if he engaged in insurrection. His old lawyer Ty Cobb agrees.You are literally too stupid to have logical arguments with. The supreme court is the ultimate authority on if something violates the united states (federal) constitution. The fact you can not grasp that is astonishingly moronic.

Also, you may not have noticed, but you are the only one defending this decision. Not even your other liberal friends are agreeing with you.
So how do you think the 14th is applicable here on a legal basis Mr High IQ? Interested to hear.Should have involved the 14th some time ago and been done with his ass
The judicial branch has been weaponized. Its past the point of reclamation if we are being honest. The judges on the left and right cannot even agree on what is right and/or wrong on a lot of important stuff at this point.I wish no one knew the justices political affiliations. I wish they could judge on the constitution and its merits no matter what letter is next to their name or which party they claim to affiliate to. Why only 2 parties? There should be multiple parties for Americans to choose from.
Not a single insurrection charge or indictment has been given to any J6'ers nor Trump. So how does the 14th amendment apply as it relates to insurrection, if he isn't being accused of an insurrection?Are you deaf? The 14th amendement doesn't require that you be convicted of a crime, it states you can't hold office if you "engaged" in insurrection. They ruled that after a careful reading of the amendment, he should be kept off the ballot. It's no surprise that you will ignore the Constitution and any authority that rightly tries to uphold the law because you've decided you don't care if he has mutilated children , you will vote for him anyway and give the middle finger to anyone who gets in your way.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Damn, I keep forgetting that you're a Constitutional scholar and you know more than the framers and the four judges! How do I keep forgetting that?Not a single insurrection charge or indictment has been given to any J6'ers nor Trump. So how does the 14th amendment apply as it relates to insurrection, if he isn't being accused of an insurrection?
Mutilated children? What the f*ck are you talking about?
I'm sure your purple haired, nose ringed friends all love it when you get all worked up recycling what CNN pumps into your oatmeal brain but the 14th amendment doesnt work for this. They would have been better off just saying that they don't like him and don't want him to run, which in reality is what they just did.
It gets overturned faster than one of your barista co-workers changes their haircolor.Damn, I keep forgetting that you're a Constitutional scholar and you know more than the framers and the four judges! How do I keep forgetting that?
Your talking points and your opinions DON'T MATTER here....it's the facts dumbass...read up on them or stfu. You don't make the rules!
I'll answer when you take me up on my challenge. Something tells me I'll be waiting a while.So how do you think the 14th is applicable here on a legal basis Mr High IQ? Interested to hear.
If he did the same shit that Trump has done, he would have never been on the ballot in the first place because Democrats wouldn't support him. But if he did the things that Trump did, we'd kick him off the ballot before the states ever got around to it.It gets overturned faster than one of your barista co-workers changes their haircolor.
What If GOP states start removing Biden from the ballot? I mean, clearly would be a favor for the left but do you think that might cause some backlash?
This tells me your viewpoint is not logic and reason based and you know it. I do think you are a smart guy.I'll answer when you take me up on my challenge. Something tells me I'll be waiting a while.
Have you read the 14th amendment, section 3, instead of accepting what Catturd had to say about it? If not, do it and argue why it doesn't apply to him.This tells me your viewpoint is not logic and reason based and you know it. I do think you are a smart guy.
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer it when the courts are balanced; 4 D, 4 R, and 1 Centrist. Also, purge all the corrupt justices, like Thomas, who are getting kickbacks and gifts from billionaire nutjobs.
I don'tThis tells me your viewpoint is not logic and reason based and you know it. I do think you are a smart guy.
Has Trump been charged,put on trial, and found guilty of insurrection? This is not so just because dpic says so.Have you read the 14th amendment, section 3, instead of accepting what Catturd had to say about it? If not, do it and argue why it doesn't apply to him.
This is not what the amendment says. The Constitution doesn't allow you to make up your own rules so again, read it before trying to apply your comic understanding of it.Has Trump been charged,put on trial, and found guilty of insurrection? This is not so just because dpic says so.
It wouldn't matter to you if he were, so this "objection" is meaningless.Has Trump been charged,put on trial, and found guilty of insurrection? This is not so just because dpic says so.
Quit being so desperate and triggered.
nice assumptionIt wouldn't matter to you if he were, so this "objection" is meaningless.
Mmhmm, when there is a trial it's rigged, and when there's not a trial it's not fair to Donny boy either. How about that. The amendment doesn't use the word trial anyway. Again, a meaningless "objection"nice assumption
The bold is the exact reason I will vote for whoever the pub nominee is. Precisely bc I will not let my feelings about trump- who I do not like- override the impact not voting for him will have on the country.If he did the same shit that Trump has done, he would have never been on the ballot in the first place because Democrats wouldn't support him. But if he did the things that Trump did, we'd kick him off the ballot before the states ever got around to it.
Why is that ONE MAN more important to you than our country is what I want to know?
Your priorities don't mean shit to him because his goals aren't aligned with what you or I want, only what he wants and he keeps telling us that what he wants is bad for this country. Heck, he's already told you this will be about "Retribution." That should be enough for a person with a moral compass to say he should not be president but oh no, there's more! He also wants to:The bold is the exact reason I will vote for whoever the pub nominee is. Precisely bc I will not let my feelings about trump- who I do not like- override the impact not voting for him will have on the country.
My main priority is what results will come from the election- ie what legislation will be passed, judicial appointments, executive regulation (or lack thereof), govt spending, etc. Would I prefer to pick a candidate the I like and approve of? Sure, but in the end, I am going to hold my nose and vote for whoever has an R beside their name 99% of the time, bc whoever that is will result in lower spending, lower taxes, less govt.
Your priorities don't mean shit to him because his goals aren't aligned with what you or I want, only what he wants and he keeps telling us that what he wants is bad for this country. Heck, he's already told you this will be about "Retribution." That should be enough for a person with a moral compass to say he should not be president but oh no, there's more! He also wants to:
- Give Ukraine to Putin- he can not do this bc it is not his to give. Even if he wants to/tries, the legislature will never approve funding for russia.
- Pull us out of NATO- Unless there are some significant changes in nato - particularly with funding, I might agree with him. If the rest of the world wants our protection, they need to start paying/contributing their fair share.
- Fire 50,000 govt. employess and replace them with loyalists, no matter what their credentials are.- I certainly hope we fire more than 50,000 govt employees. The fed govt is beyond bloated and needs to be scaled back. Also, look at who biden has put in charge and nominated. You have judges who do not know basic constitutional articles when questioned about them. He currently has high level offices staffed with temporary appointments bc he could not get them approved even when he had the majority in the house and senate. Not much difference there. Not to mention, he has to get them approved.
- Round up immigrants and put them in concentration camps - you know as well as I do this will never happen, no matter what he wants bc it would never be approved in the legislature.
- Root out the vermin(i.e anyone who doesn't agree with him)- this is too stupid to respond to and biden will get rid of anyone who does not agree with him if he can.
- Destroy media that he doesn't like.- dems already try/do this.
- Fill his cabinet with only ghouls who will do his bidding - people like Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Stephen Miller, Kari Lake and Mike Lindell. - again, ALL presidents are going to put people who they think will "do their bidding" in the cabinet.
You know this because he doesn't hide his intentions( as opposed to other politicians who intend to do many of the same things, but don't come out and say so), he proudly announces them because he knows you'll accept ANYTHING he does without a second thought. So if you vote for him while knowing the worst, then FU, you don't give a damn about this country and you are not a patriot.- again, what he wants to do and what he will/can do are not the same. All I care about is what actually happens. If biden comes out tomorrow and says he is going to amend the constitution to where only democrats can vote, that does not concern me bc he does not have that power and it is not possible it would ever happen. Maybe you can rest a little easier now, knowing trump can not unilaterally make legislation and constitutional amendments
What he can and will do is sign more/veto less republican legislation and veto more/sign less dem legislation. He will nominate less activist judges and more conservative judges. He will help stop as many drugs and people coming across our borders and killing/harming our citizens than biden. Although he is much more in favor of spending than I would like, he will allow less spending than biden would. He will quit showing weakness to the world and stand up to military aggression from china/iran/etc. He will not allow billions of dollars to go to iran or other countries who support terrorist who want to kill us. He will not try to tell us we have to drive ev cars, battery lawn mowers, and make it more expensive or not allow gas stoves, dryers, hvac units, etc. and let americans actually decide what appliances they want to use and what cars they want to drive.
