Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said on Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Donald Trump was disqualified from holding office because a majority of senators voted to convict the former president on an impeachment charge of inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Raskin said, “We’ve been saying all along that section 3 of the 14th Amendment presents a clear and unequivocal statement that anyone who has sworn an oath of office, and not just a president but members of Congress and others who hold federal office, who engage in insurrection or rebellion, having sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic, could never serve again in federal or state officve. This is added after the Civil War as a general constitutional principle. We have to abide by it.”

There was no vote and even if the majority did vote to convict, that wouldn’t cut it.
>Where’s the indictment for this spreading of misinformation?<
Sounds like a cut and dried RICO case for Big Fani to take up.

My distance cousin, Yen in Australia, the one who raises kangaroos did me a favor. Yen got 12 of his prized kangaroos together and they voted that Hymen Ruskin was an illegal Congressman. So I guess the Hymen needs to go!
Sorry, but this was part of the plan all along.
After the shots of lawfare, the 14th Amendment could be used by any blue state governor and legislature to get Trump off the election ballot. One my one until he’d be like the Green Party or the many smaller ones in certain states.
Ballotopedia has this on the situation of parties:
As of November 2022, there were at least 53 distinct ballot-qualified political parties in the United States. There were 209 state-level parties. Some parties are recognized in multiple states. For example, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are recognized in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. These two parties account for more than half of the 209 total state-level parties. Three minor parties were recognized in more than 10 states as of November 2022:
Libertarian Party: 39 states
Green Party: 27 states
Constitution Party: 15 states
Qualifications for recognition as a minor political party and requirements for ballot access vary by state.
If President Trump incited insurrection, why wasn’t he charged with this??
My post meant the states could decide the GOP had nominated a violator of the 124 Amendment and thus was off the ballot in that one state. “Incited insurrection.”
14th Amendment
“He’s obviously deranged”
Name one high-profile Democrat that is not.
And by that logic, the vast majority of the Rat party is disqualified given that they incited or incite violence too and they are never held accountable for it.

“If President Trump incited insurrection, why wasn’t he charged with this??”
You know why. Because they cannot prove it ...because it’s just another in a long and ongoing series of leftist lies.
if trump is on the menu in enough states that he can win the electoral college... I believe he will...
if they cannot stop him by taking him off the menu in swing states and flat out red states... then they will go to what we consider extreme ends.
whether trump wins or not... the states that try this need to have their fedgov budgets, eliminated.
and the truth is, THAT definition of behavior will identify what states are actually seeking to start a violent civil war...
that is their end game. cause a kinetic interstate war... as their commie allies abroad launch kinetic attacks on our extra continental assets... and then our physical physically productive red states will be attacked kinetically.
that’s what they want.
He was not convicted by the necessary super majority, so GFYS, Raskin.
Isn’t Rasikin the guy who wears a girl’s bandanna on is scalp?
then every democrat should be thrown out of office for encouraging the illegal alien invasion of our country!
because that is surely inciting insurrection and treason!
Will somebody shove a sock in Ratskin’s mouth? The little bitch is really annoying.
Trump is disqualified because the democrat party and their media mouthpieces said so.
Cancer.
Yep!
