AND Biden too. Why wait?
These issues can be handled on the word of some bimbo whose 'daddy' was powerful and connected.
Like Liz's daddy.
We could save a lot of money by NOT having to maintain a legal system. All we gotta do is hand the choices over to stupid liberal 'elties'... How 'bout it Liz? ARE YOU READY? You and your daddy could pick the whole government. Right? To hell with that silly idea about 'the people' having a say...
The 14th Amendment seems to speak of “engaging in insurrection”.
It doesn’t mention a charge, a trial, or a conviction.
Right but I think the context was that it could be so obvious to be undeniable, such as a confederate military officer who wasn’t formally charged with a crime. I don’t think anyone would be able to rationally argue against that even without a criminal trial.

Indeed. We had a full scale Civil War 1861-1865 and afterwards, if you were a Confederate veteran, or politician, it would have been so obvious that you had "engaged in an insurrection" that it didn't really need a lot of discussion.
But now it's 2024. Nancy Pelosi forms the opinion that some sort of insurrection took place? And she has decided that Trump is the one to blame? And THEREFORE Trump is ineligible for the presidency? Ummmmmmmmmmmm ... seems a stretch. I'm gonna need something a bit more substantial than that ...
