  2. Yup, Biden supporters want a one party system like Red China or North Korea. They will not get it with 6 GOP appointees on the U.S. Supreme Court.

  4. Having supporters who commit trespassing after you tell them not to and before you publicly ask them to stop is not the same as being an insurrectionist.

    Abstract
    Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids holding office by former office holders who then participate in insurrection or rebellion. Because of a range of misperceptions and mistaken assumptions, Section Three’s full legal consequences have not been appreciated or enforced. This article corrects those mistakes by setting forth the full sweep and force of Section Three.

First, Section Three remains an enforceable part of the Constitution, not limited to the Civil War, and not effectively repealed by nineteenth century amnesty legislation. Second, Section Three is self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications. Third, to the extent of any conflict with prior constitutional rules, Section Three repeals, supersedes, or simply satisfies them. This includes the rules against bills of attainder or ex post facto laws, the Due Process Clause, and even the free speech principles of the First Amendment. Fourth, Section Three covers a broad range of conduct against the authority of the constitutional order, including many instances of indirect participation or support as “aid or comfort.” It covers a broad range of former offices, including the Presidency. And in particular, it disqualifies former President Donald Trump, and potentially many others, because of their participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.

    12 Indeed, for what it is worth, the legislative history of Section Three confirms that this is what the authors of the Fourteenth Amendment did. Earlier drafts had limited the Section’s application to the “late insurrection.” Later versions dropped this limitation and generalized Section Three’s application to “insurrection” and “rebellion.” See Cong. Globe, 39th Cong., 1st Sess., at 2767-68, 2770 2869, 2921; see also Mark A. Graber, Rewarding Loyalty (?) and Punishing Treason Through Disenfranchisement and Bans on Officeholding: Section 3, at 3-4 (unpublished chapter, forthcoming in The Forgotten Fourteenth Amendment, Volume 2, University Press of Kansas) (documenting this development).

  8. People won’t buy it this time, the economy can’t afford it, and it will only tank his already historic unpopularity to unprecedented depths. Covid 19 itself could beat Biden in an election next year.

  14. ALL SORTS OF POSSIBLE SCOTUS EMERGENCY DOCKET STUFF DUE TO EARLY 2023 DEADLINES RE 2024 PREZ PRIMARY DATES.

    IE POSSIBLE SCOTUS FIRST MEET DATE IN OCT 2023 – IF NOT EARLIER.

    OR – MUST WAIT FOR PREZ PRIMARY CANDIDATE DEADLINE DATE AND A LOWER COURT CASE – EMERGENCY ACTION / NON-ACTION.

    SCOTUS WATCH/WARNING OR WHAT !!!???

  17. Stock has no issues with Biden taking bribes or being a traitor or a pedophile. What do you expect from a retarded Satanist?

  21. Special alert! The deadly combination of stock and AZ might generate enough autistic screeching, hot air, and deadly methane gas to kill off several whole species of whales!

  26. You idiot, they are a foreign influence peddling propaganda outlet. Having a fancy name does not mean that’s what they are or do.

  27. EVERYTHING IN RUSSIA PART OF THE 666 PUTIN DEVIL MONARCHY ???

    ESP PLANTS AND ANIMALS ???

    HOW MANY PUTIN WMD IN RUSSIA TO KILL ALL HUMANS ON MOTHER EARTH XXXXXX TIMES ???

    SOLVE FOR XXXXXX

  31. @Joe…. I guess we’ll ignore the fact that God knocked up a 13 year old girl (Mary) to make Jesus? (Note: In that era people went through puberty later than they do now so a 13 year old then is more like a modern 11 year old.)

  36. Amen Bob! And Arden, God did not have sex with Mary. However, I believe you are wrong about age of puberty was younger then. It was normal for girls to marry and have children at that age in those times. People live twice as long now so you basically have to double people’s age back then to come up with the equal number in today’s world. Like dog years.

  38. I don’t usually understand what you’re trying to say. When I do, you’re usually wrong.

  52. They will thus only further screw themselves. Truly the gang that can’t shoot straight.

  55. Biden 2024 will make George McGovern 1972 and Herbert Hoover 1932 look like winners.

  56. Even the biased polls show 80% of the public is already unhappy with the economy. Trump is more popular than at any point in 2015-6 or 2019-20, and the phony indictments are only making him more popular. Imagine how much worse it’s going to get for the big guy if he wrecks the economy even more with these covid and climate shenanigans.

  60. User today is still fake news, and the Biden gangster fake persecutions of Trump will end when he’s back in office.
