(Wow)
what would the complaint letter look like?
how about “lack of jurisdiction”? (what jurisdiction btw? lawsuit implies to me civil, not criminal, although insurrection implies to me criminal, not civil... so are some legal wires being hotwired here?)
how about “lack of standing?”
how about “separation of powers”?
that’s all i can come up with in a few minutes, but i note in passing that the terms jurisdiction, complaint, and civil are not used in the essay. without the use of these terms, i am puzzled on how any such lawsuit could proceed... which imho brings up “due process.”
i think that the word lawsuit does not mean what mr. morrison thinks it means...
I truly think the USSC, (if not the trial/appellate court/s), would have to struggle with the fact that the impeachment articles were specifically “insurrection” for which he was found not guilty. The way I read the 14th amendment on disqualification it requires a conviction. I could be wrong but I doubt it.
I’m thinking that this would end up immediately in the supreme court to decide and strike down this stupidity. And honestly, i’m even real crazy about Trump running in 2024. In this atmosphere, I think he’s probably the only one that could really lose.
