The Hill Takes the Opinion That 20 Percent of Congress Should Block President Trump From Taking Office

The Hill

The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president. This is the plain wording of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. “No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath … 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.” This disability can be removed by a two-thirds vote in each House.

Disqualification is based on insurrection against the Constitution and not the government. The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming. The matter has been decided in three separate forums, two of which were fully contested with the active participation of Trump’s counsel.  More

  1. Anyone voting against Trump becoming President again needs to treated like an old horse. Taken behind the barn and shot and leave the corpse to be devoured by the Critters and Maggots.

  2. This goes no where. “Constitutional Scholars”. Right. The problem with extremely Libral men and women is they let their desperate unhinged desires influence their thought process. Rendering them useless in society. Again, fuck off.

  3. Perhaps the stupid fucktarded democrats should pay attention to the first section of the 14th amendment:

    “Section 1.

    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; –>nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law<–; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

    You can't just declare Trump "guilty of insurrection" when he was not been charged with that, much less found guilty of it, under due process of law. JFC. What kind of fucking "law" professor doesn't grasp that simple fucking fact?

  4. I seemed to have missed the actual insurrection trial against Trump. You know, the trial that did not involve political hacks like Adam Schiff, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, etc. etc. The trial where actual evidence and not the wishful thinking of Democrats is used.

    That aside, these liberal “thinkers” are just pissed that Trump and various groups supporting Trump challenged the 2020 election on various legal grounds instead of merely going along with their elite leaders. We get to do this in the United States, and it’s constitutional. This country was founded by people who pissed and moaned, grumbled, complained, groused, challenged and contested how the British were treating their colonies. Less than 100 years later, people pissed and moaned, grumbled, complained, groused, challenged and contested the issue of slavery and states’ rights and bang; we were in a civil war.

    So what are those fine morons at the Hill doing now? Contesting the 2024 election and trying to prevent Trump from taking office although he won both the popular vote and the electoral college, and their preferred method to accomplish this is “let’s make some shit up.” They should file their article under a discussion of “What Is Hypocrisy?”

  5. All these 14th Amendment advocates seem to forget one major plot point. Not only has Donald Trump never been convicted of “insurrection” (whatever their definition is on a given day) but he hasn’t ever even been CHARGED with insurrection by whatever the legal definition is.
    This has been pointed out over and over and over and the never=Trumpers just stick their fingers in their ears and shout, “LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”
