Due process in this case was the Denver District Court Judge trying it like any other lawsuit, allowing both sides to introduce evidence and testimony, and deciding based on the merits. The fact that Fox News didn't mention the trial was taking place doesn't alter the fact that it happened. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

Sotomayor signed on with Breyers dissent in McDonald. In the dissent, Bryer said heller should be overturned. My point was simply, I no longer believe anything SC nominees say when trying to get seated. Nothing I can do about it. | |||

And Breyer never said Heller should be followed or extended as it was in McDonald. If she dissented in McDonald, how did she say McDonald was binding precedent. There was a material distinction in Heller and McDonald. Heller was applying the same principles of Heller to a fed subdivision being DC. McDonald addressed the issue as it related to the states. One can vote to overturn the DC ban because caselaw going back to 1836 was clear, the 2nd was only a limitation upon Congress, the Federal Government. However, disagree with incorporating the right against the states as McDonald did. | |||

Funny thing - unless I'm misinformed, Trump Team has not appealed the insurrection decision, especially on grounds of lack of or improper due process. If I'm correct, that finding/rule/decision/whatever of the lower court stands. One may thus presume that the merits of the decision, re insurrection, the facts and evidence, were/are compelling, notwithstanding the burden of proof of a civil vs criminal trial. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. ************* Real conservatives aren't radicalized. Thus "radicalized conservative" is an oxymoron. Yet there are many radicalized republicans.

That does not mean that due process was sufficient to judicially declare someone an insurrectionist and disqualified under the Constitution as amended by the 14th Amendment. Fox News has nothing to do w it. | |||

So, what would be sufficient? A criminal conviction? As I understand it, there's due process regardless of civil or criminal case. Is due process hinged upon the so-deemed burden of proof respectively? ************* Real conservatives aren't radicalized. Thus "radicalized conservative" is an oxymoron.

I have a hard time understanding how the SC would hold that a president is not an officer for purposes of 14A Sec. 3, or that "insurrectionist" is limited to CSA officers. The clause notably doesn't say "confederate" or specify a certain conflict. Certainly a textualist approach wouldn't limit the clause to the Civil War. If the Court approaches this clause the way it's approached the Second Amendment, there should be no question it applies not only to the CW but to any future insurrections. What do you other lawyer-types think of this possibility: The SC finds the clause applies, but says Trump did not receive adequate due process, i.e, a hearing before the Colorado trial court was not enough, The Court remands the case with instructions to remove it to federal court to resolve the issue whether Trump is an insurgent. I think the SC will find some pretext to reverse or remand, I just don't know what it will be. | |||

Didn't see this before I posted. Good assessment. | |||

Well, perhaps you should have been representing Trump, I can't find where his lawyers raised a deprivation of due process claim before the Colorado Supreme Court. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

Whoops. If that's true, I bet some lawyer is now reaching for his butt. | |||

I'm not a lawyer and don't play one on TV but isn't part of "due process" that you can't advance an argument to a higher court you didn't raise at the previous court? "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

I cannot say for sure it wasn't raised but I can find no reference to it in sources available to me. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

You're right, Jeffive. You ordinarily cant appeal on a point not raised in the lower court. The only exception I can think of is for "plain error." Which can be whatever a court says it means. | |||

Even Slappy Thomas might pull a muscle stretching that far. This really is the best opportunity the Republican Party will ever have to shed this albatross that is hastening the inevitable decline demographics is imposing on their Party.

Another maybe is manifest injustice. if the failure to consider the issue would result in manifest injustice, if consideration is necessary for a proper determination of the case, or if the issue involves a question of law and the facts necessary for its resolution have been presented.” George v Allstate Ins Co, 329 Mich App 448; 942 NW2d 628 (2019). | |||

There was a week long evidentiary hearing conducted on the issue of whether he engaged in an "insurrection." "After a weeklong hearing in November, District Judge Sarah B. Wallace found that Trump indeed had “engaged in insurrection” by inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, and her ruling that kept him on the ballot was a fairly technical one." https://apnews.com/article/tru...af450558378c65fd79a2 Again, that having been said...I think keeping trump off the ballot is a terrible idea. It just feeds the looney-tune trumptard's fire. -Every damn thing is your own fault if you are any good. | |||

Just as Heym came up with a reason Sotomayor didnt lie, The justices will come up with a reason why they didnt, to vote the way they do on this case. Back to the reason why it's not worth the time to listen to the hearings, there is always a way around things. | |||
