This is a planned insurrection
https://thehill.com/opinion/co...mp-disqualification/

I do not believe this will be attempted,

Will there be done who object? Yes, there was last time, and their objections will be hammered down by the Dem VP just like the last time.

Trump’s wake film will be certified. There will be no violence as it should be, and Trump created the environment for it not to be last time.

This House is not going to follow the procedure for invoking the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

If they did, following the Constitution as amended and outlined by the S. Ct., is not an insurrection.

No, it’s an opinion piece. Jesus Christ.

with the Republicans in control of both houses, just wishful thinking on someone's part.

Pay back??

The stupid MAGA ARSEHOLE tried it last time.

One cannot help LOVING American politics!

Robert Mugabe would fit right in!

Let's get this crappy four-year term over with. It's only four years, and then we'll see. We can hold our breath that long.
Maybe the fallout will teach the electorate something they should have known from before.

Elections have consequences. Some folks must think that they're immune to them.

According to the Supreme Court, the Senate had no role in the invoking the 14th Amendment Insurrection Clause. The House only has a 4 seat R majority. However, the House is not using this option.

Remember when I said that Insurrection legal battle would create bad law. If the House were to invoke the Insurrection Clause to deny Trump the Presidency as set out by the Constitution would not be an insurrection. It would be constitutional due process.

All this to say legally and constitutionally it would be fine, but it ain’t going to happen. I wish the Court would have read the Insurrection Clause as requiring a different process. They did not because they did not want the court’s involved in this. So, they made it purely political matter.

and jack smith dropped trump's insurrection case like a month ago --

let's make it more manageable -- if a person is CHARGE, but has not be adjudicated, but is then subject to the PUNISHMENT phase - years in prison, fines, etc, (prison, not jail), is that not an abridgement of their rights?

.......

A) he did not drop it in the merits or w prejudice. He dropped it because of DOJ policy not to prosecute a setting president. He has stayed on his pleadings he would prosecute if Trump we’re not about to be the setting president.

And

B) A criminal case or conviction is not required for the House to invoke the Insurrection Clause per the S. Ct.. the dismissal wo prejudice is irrelevant and not dispositive of the issue.

Tge invocation of the Insurrection Clause is now purely a political question subject to the political will of the House. I do not agree, but the opinions are legally reasoned. Bad facts made bad law.

Try again.
