In the lawsuit seeking to disqualify Trump from the 2024 ballot in Colorado Trump, through his lawyers, has offered an interesting defense:

quote:
The argument came as he seeks to dismiss a lawsuit filed in the state by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), seeking to have him disqualified from the ballot in the state under the 14th Amendment. The Insurrection Clause of the amendment prohibits those who have "engaged in insurrection" against the United States from holding a civil, military, or elected office without unless a two-thirds majority of the House and Senate approve.

But Trump's lawyers are arguing that the specific language of the Constitution argues that this requirement only applies to people in offices who are bound to "support" the Constitution — and the presidency is not one of those offices.

I have said this was President Trump’s greatest failure.

He was Commander in Chief with some ability to mobilize the DC Guard to defend Congress, the physical Capital, and the election.

He as President had a moral obligation under his oath to provide a peaceful transition of power.

He not only failed. He refused.

Where are our resident MAGAts to tell us why a President has no Duty to support the Constitution? How the "original intent" was to someday exempt Trump?

If President Obama had done what President Trump did on the lead up and day of Jan 6 with Antifa or BLM to deny President Trump’s ascent to power for HRC, the Dr. Easters and JTEXs would be talking about high treason.

Different standards for Republicans, or rather no standards at all.

His Oath had a "worthless clause" just like his financial statements.

Hey, his lawyers have to say something, right? This kind of ridiculous argument shows the weakness of his position.

Same place they are on Trump praising Hamas and Hezballah while trashing Israel, waiting for the chaos in the House Republican Caucus to burn out so they can get a new set of talking points.
