We're thankful for organizations like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW): Six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters, represented by CREW and distinguished CO attorneys, just filed a lawsuit to remove Donald Trump from the state's ballot because he is disqualified under the constitution's 14th amendment. #TFG #GOPConspiracy #14A https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/press-releases/lawsuit-filed-to-remove-trump-from-ballot-in-co-under-14th-amendment/

As a new legal challenge against Donald Trump is developing, it's apparent there are even conservatives who are tired of this man and his criminal ways. https://tinyl.io/9EqQ

This is an American political dilemma that likely won't be settled in the SC. #TFG may be the GOP nominee, unless... Will McConnell step up? It's a given that McCarthy won't: If our political system were more functional, both parties would see a genuine interest in pushing the #14A case (made by 2 leading conservative legal scholars: that Trump is disqualified from running). Their paper for the Univ. of PA Law Review argues in effect that #TFG’s candidacy is invalid-. https://us19.campaign-archive.com/?u=8855a23519ab892dfe2cd34f6&id=54e84c980e

@marcelias It would be most helpful if states actively suppressing the vote were subjected to losing electors under #14A Section 2. But I remain unhopeful since the remainder of the amendment has been de facto repealed as well. Until we honor the Constitution, the fight will always continue.

Good news for Illinoisans: The IL ST SC found a strict assault weapons ban passed after the Highland Park shooting to be constitutional in a ruling issued Fri -ruling came in response to a lawsuit that claimed that the ban violated the equal protections clause of the #14A to the US Const. The court reversed a lower court finding & said: law doesn't violate the equal protections clause. However, the SC didn't comment on claims that the law also violated the #2A. #GunReform https://abcnews.go.com/US/illinois-supreme-court-finds-assault-weapons-ban-constitutional/story?id=102198069

“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.”

@ariaflame @w7voa Additional charges won’t matter if tRump runs and wins. #14A DEMANDS he not be allowed to run at all, Jack. None of the existing fed level trials will reach sentencing before inauguration day 2025. The same for any new indictment, which isn’t coming.

I’m sure Jack knows plenty I dont. But I do know this, if I wanted to drag ass and make it look good while ensuring nothing was adjudicated before the next presidential election, I’d do exactly what MERRICK has done since day 1.

@mushroom_soup

Oh hey it's the retard #14A again

Mentions the #14A. To my knowledge, Amerika has been the only source on the Right talking about the problems of the #14A.

@bane @raymondpert

AA is a natural outpouring of the #14A in my view.

We are gonna hafta yank that fucker.

#Georgia DOC officials blocked outgoing emails from an inmate, on the basis that they asked for info to be forwarded to others.

#11thCircuit holds the prison officials violated the inmate's #14A #DueProcess protected liberty interests.

...BUT, #QualifiedImmunity defeats his lawsuit anyway, since there were no binding decisions directly on-point. (His declaratory action survives, though.)

@dcc @CSBHOTSQUAD @ringo

This one is backward. You want to find the cause, not try to compare effects.

The Republic is a sham because the voters are retards. Democracy is designed to exploit retards; the Constitution was designed to limit this exploitation.

Then came the #14A. There's American history in a nutshell.

@PodunkPotato @Autumn @justinerickson @lola

It was brilliant of Reagan to keep him around since that brought the tradcons into the Big Tent again.

However, among most conservatives, tradcon is taboo.

* The mainstream Right still defends the #14A and thinks diversity is good
* The dissident Right still seems to want socialism and possibly forms of diversity like segregation

Big stumbling blocks.

@JDS

I disagree: States Rights means we can all coexist.

Lincoln kicked off federal power that has been abused.

Their statements reflected the touchstone issue but the underlying issue was autonomy.

Hence them seeing themselves as actual patriots where the #14A people were tyrants.

@neanderthalsnavel @kekkerel

Maybe it is a mental health problem or not; the psychologists can argue about that one when they do not have the #14A and related lawsuits breathing down their neck.

But it is not what is wrecking Western Civilization, and by far the largest portion of the homosexual population seems to have nothing to do with crazy stuff.

I suggest we accept them and let them be.

@hannah

Without the #2A, the #1A is in danger from the #14A.

@jeff

"Human rights" are inflexible.

We were better off before the #14A...

Trump is a moderate. The divisiveness is his abrasive approach and the Left having a tantrum.

@ThatDoug

I doubt that. Separation of church and state means no state religion. They are getting in via the #14A loophole, which weaponizes the bill of rights from "you cannot discriminate against a religion" to "you must include all religions."

@Sum_ID

I agree; this is the States Rights approach.

Many of our constant national topics of great division are better handled this way.

But we have to get the #14A out of the way.
