  4. Although 57 senators, incl’g 7 #Republicans, voted for #conviction, #MitchMcConnell did not bring more Republicans along. Had he done so, the #Senate could have #disqualified #Trump from ever running for office again.

    Then there’s Biden’s AG #MerrickGarland, who dragged his feet for well over a year before taking action against the biggest threat to American #democracy since the Civil War of the 1860s. His timidity is inexplicable & disappointing.

  5. So... this just in: #swedishpolice announced today that #dutch #artist #joostklein is no longer being #investigated as no #evidence was found. In other words: he's #innocent.

    Meanwhile what I predicted has happened: he was #disqualified from #eurovision2024 proactively for something that turns out did not happen.

    The #overzealous behavior of the #ebu that organizes the euro vision song festival has cost Joost the (near) top spot. That can't be taken back.

  6. In one of her first campaign appearances since GOP Supreme Leader Donald #Trump was convicted of falsifying business records,
    Vice President Kamala Harris sharply criticized him on Saturday as a “cheater”
    who believes himself above the law and argued that he should be #disqualified for the presidency.

    Ms. Harris, who headlined a state Democratic Party dinner in downtown Detroit, rebuffed Mr. Trump’s false claims that his trial, like the 2020 presidential election, was “rigged” and defended the judicial process behind his felony conviction.

    “Simply put, Donald Trump thinks he is above the law,” she said. “This should be disqualifying for anyone who wants to be president of the United States.”

  7. The decision to hear the appeal, handed down by a 3-judge panel, is likely to further #delay the #Georgia #criminal case against #Trump & 14 of his #CoConspirators, making it less likely that the case will go to #trial before the Nov #election.

    The terse 3-sentence announcement reopens the possibility that DA #FaniWillis could be #disqualified from the biggest case of her career, & one of the most significant state criminal cases in the nation’s history.

  8. I know it's a long shot, but if Don the Con is convicted and/or #disqualified from ballots in a sufficient number of states to block any chance of an #ElectoralCollege win, how likely is it that we'll see his MAGA mob actively working to suppress #voterturnout under threats of violence? Is local law enforcement prepared to defend the voting process and election workers at the polls? This is going to be a long #election2024 season.

    "BREAKING: Republican judge [Erickson] in IL finds Trump engaged in insurrection and is #disqualified under section 3 of Fourteenth Amendment.
    He ultimately finds a higher court, not the electoral board, must decide this. First Republican judge in the nation to issue such findings!"

  10. #SCOTUS on Fri agreed to decide whether #Trump is ineligible for #Colorado’s #Republican #primary #ballot bc he had engaged in #insurrection in his efforts to overturn the 2020 #election.

    The case… will be argued on Feb. 8. The court will probably decide it quickly, as the primary season will soon be underway.

    Trump asked the #SupremeCourt to intervene after Colorado’s top court #disqualified him from the ballot last month. That decision is on hold while the justices consider the matter.

  11. If you agree that Obama isn’t qualified to run for president, then you have to agree #45 is #disqualified too snyder.substack.com/p/trump-ca

  12. They aim to ensure “that votes cast will be for those constitutionally qualified to hold office, that a #disqualified candidate does not siphon off support from…candidates of choice, & that voters are not deprived of the chance to vote for a qualified candidate in the general election,” the #lawsuit says.
    Similar efforts are unfolding in other states. Last month, …#FreeSpeechForPeople wrote to… #Florida, #NewHampshire, #NewMexico, #Ohio & #Wisconsin, urging them not to include #Trump on ballots.

  13. The precedent for 14th Amendment disqualification -
    At least seven public officials have been formally adjudicated to be #disqualified and #barred from #public #office under Section 3 of the #Fourteenth #Amendment since its ratification in 1868.

    The list includes five former #Confederates who held office after the Civil War, as well as former New Mexico County Commissioner #Couy #Griffin, who a state court removed from office last year based on his participation in the #January #6th #insurrection following a lawsuit CREW brought on behalf of three New Mexico residents.

    Section 3, also known as the Disqualification Clause, has gained new relevance in the wake of the January 6th insurrection, when a violent mob that then-President Trump summoned and urged to “fight like hell” seized the United States Capitol to disrupt the peaceful transition of power
