#trumpvanderson — Public Fediverse posts

Hello everyone, sorry I had to work on Feb 8 during oral arguments on the 14th amendment section 3 case. I did listen to it after the fact and will be boosting #SCOTUS toots 2/9/2023 afternoon Pacific time. If you're not interested, you can temporarily block my boosts #uspol #TrumpVAnderson #trumpIneligible

There’s no #legal #question: The #USConstitution #disqualifies #Trump from the #presidency as a result of his insurrection against the constitution and laws of the United States.

The #SupremeCourt’s role is to #enforce the #Constitution, and it should do so in #TrumpVAnderson to #disqualify Donald Trump from running for #president.

Will be interesting to see what mental gymnastics self-proclaimed “originalist” Supreme Court Justices will use to argue that #section3 of the #14thamendment does not disqualify Trump from holding the office of U.S. president. Here’s an excellent amicus brief from leading experts on the history of the provision and how it was understood by people at the time of its adoption. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-719/298999/20240129110006501_23-719%20bsac%20American%20Historians%20Final.pdf #LawFedi #TrumpVAnderson #RuleOfLaw #14thAmendmentSection3 #history
