Two civil rights organizations are launching a campaign to pressure state governments to disqualify former President Trump from appearing on ballots in 2024...The groups say secretaries of state are empowered by the 14th amendment to bar Trump from running for office because of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.

They are going to try every possible Lawfare tactic to defeat him.

And when that doesn’t work, they will go beyond Lawfare.

Pray for President Trump !

Long ago I speculated here that this was part of their end game.
The overall federal trials will drag on but each state could have suits to keep Trump off the ballot.

Same with RNC as when they recognize one slate of delegates as official ones or not. A few states could have the RNC blessing for Jeb, Christie or DeSantis to be the little 15% candidate to ruin Trump.

because of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.

Which he had nothing to do with.

As much as I dislike Trump, this is asinine. Let the voters decide.

This was always the plan.

Can’t beat him at the ballot box, keep him off the ballot in a few key states.

Known as the homosexual marriage amendment, the 14th was ill-compounded and hastily enacted.

Now, there will be an attempt by one political party to use this synthetic part of the constitution - along with federal bayonets - to again attack the rights of the states.

“Which he had nothing to do with.”

And....which wasn’t even a real insurrection. The leftists know damned well it wasn’t, or there would be lots and lots of their side lying around dead, afterward.
