I am interested mainly in what is the ultimate decision-making body for insurrection by a president rather than immunity (though that is related). I assumed there would be a SCOTUS decision eventually. Yes, the Nixon pardon implied he wasn't immune. The SC can't relitigate the case. It can only find mistakes in law by the lower courts such as misinterpretation of the constitution or lack of standing by plaintiffs, etc. They will need to rule that the CO SC erred in it's judgement that the president was included in the 14th amendment.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ALLSEEINGEYE Posted December 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 3 hours ago, Danderman123 said: Unfortunately, I agree with you. For the 14th Amendment to apply, a person must have been convicted of sedition. Otherwise, any state court can kick anyone off the ballot, simply by observing that they participated in an insurrection. So, Georgia could kick Joe Biden off the ballot, because they can. Nowhere in the 14th ammendment does it say "a person that is found guilty of insurrection" it clearly says "any person that engages in insurrection" Almost every person in the world aleady witnessed him engaging in insurrection with our own eyes. Let's see if the Supreme court has enough morals and integrity do see justice done here. 2 1 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrwest Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Actually, I favor having an election contest with Trump as the Republican Party nominee. You see, if a majority of the American voting citizens would not firmly reject him … then I do not have a country in which to believe and support. At my age, I would retain my Passport (Canada, I would gladly swap … hmm, actually with a number of countries where my shared DNA is present), but I would certainly not visit (already cannot live there on my monthly sustainable retirement income). The USA has faced major challenges in the past but … this is a crisis where a notable number of citizens seem bent on fascism as if that would result in addressing their issues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree if the corrupt SC judge Thomas had not ruled in favor of Corporations are people too" resulting in vast sums of dark pool money being injected into bribing politicians. Corporate lobby spending is 34:1 vs private spending.

The question as to whether Trump broke the law, let alone the constitution, does not and should not rest with voters. That's how a nation of law operates. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you hate the Dems and love Trump? If you want to talk BS, how about the impeachment inquiry by the House Republicans into president Biden? Do you think that is BS as well? Anyone with just half a functioning brain cell will have recognized what Trump and his co-conspirators were up to before, on and after Jan. 6, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to be able to connect the dots. Many of his co-conspirators are now facing justice and have flipped on Trump. And Trump himself has been found guilty of sedition already, by that CO court, and is facing similar charges in Washington DC and Georgia. Please explain to me what the BS is that you so desperately want stopped, I’d be really interested. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the US Supreme court is smart, they'll rule on whether a poorly orchestrated, simple protest (by a bunch of gun owners who left their guns at home that day) was actually an insurrection. Seems the whole discussion is moot if they rule it to be a protest and not an insurrection, just like the hundreds of others during the Summer of Love. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People died. There will be justice for them. In the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, a popular narrative has emerged: that because rioters did not fire guns that day, they were not really "armed." But a review of the federal charges against the alleged rioters shows that they did come armed, and with a variety of weapons: stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs. An additional suspect also allegedly planted pipe bombs by the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican parties the night before the riot and remains at large. https://www.npr.org/2021/03/19/977879589/yes-capitol-rioters-were-armed-here-are-the-weapons-prosecutors-say-they-used 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted December 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 Absolutely fantastic news, this man should not be within a thousand miles of any ballot, and hopefully multiple states will follow suit, and he'll lose the election by a huge margin, or perhaps he'll drop out. What would really be sweet would be if Biden dropped out too, and then two more youthful and vigorous people who have full possession of their faculties could run for that office. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
