A weeklong hearing on one lawsuit to bar Trump from the ballot in Colorado begins Monday, while on Thursday oral arguments are scheduled before the Minnesota Supreme Court on an effort to kick the Republican former president off the ballot in that state.
Whether the judges keep Trump on the ballot or boot him, their rulings are likely to be swiftly appealed, eventually to the U.S. Supreme Court. The nation’s highest court has never ruled on the Civil War-era provision in the 14th Amendment that prohibits those who swore an oath to uphold the constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” against it from holding higher office.
“None of the members of Congress that gave aid or comfort to the participants of the Nov 6th riots have been barred from holding office, so it must not have been an insurrection.” - Justice Thomas probably
It’s the fact that we haven’t held any of our elected officials accountable for their actions and words that will bite us in the ass.
“We haven’t held anyone to account for their crimes so we cannot hold someone to account for their crimes”
Yep. Stupid as fuck, but little pink houses for you and me
