Has anyone looked at what the words "officer" and "official" meant or how they were used at the time the 14th Amendment was written? Subsequent usage may have obscured the language that the orange minions are claiming doesn't apply to the POTUS.
He announced he was running early because he knew the indictments were coming. He has been trying to get out of having to go to trial by running for office, and filing appeals for everything that let him appeal.
Now it's become more than that, he has now figured that he can push it to the absolute limit and not only not be incarcerated but can be back in a position of absolute power and take vengeance on every person who tried to hold him accountable.
14th Amendment Section 3 abridged: "No person shall hold ANY OFFICE under the United States (who had also) have engaged in insurrection". It's right there in writing--enforce it.
Donald Trump has threatened the judges to not disqualify him from being on the ballot. Anyone else , they would have been sitting in prison by now, or even worse executed.
for the e jean carroll thing . the plaintiff tried to get tfg's DNA through the courts. there was a huge legal fray about whether tfg was an officer of the government. that situation used a law which gives employees of the government immunity from prosecution as they do thier jobs. the federal bureaucracy civil service folks we think. tfg claimed he was immune. lost track of that one.
They can only be removed via impeachment, and we all know that Republicans will never vote for what is right. They will always vote for what keeps them in power. The odds of the Republican House sending articles of impeachment to the senate in respect of right-wing SCOTUS judges is zero.
This is the entire point of the oath! To defend/ support/ protect and preserve the constitution. The constitution is the authority for our government. So I don’t see how you could seek to disrupt the function of the constitution which WOULD violate trumps oath to defend, preserve and protect the constitution. They can play all these little word games all they want but no matter what angle you come from he violated his oath of office
That’s right Colorado is the only way to bring about the great purge of the Jedi and the rise of the Empire. No master Jedi I am the Court. You don’t get to vote.
I’m so disappointed that all the judges don’t seem to realize their power and the power for justice at all is held in their hands and if he is allowed to get away with his behavior will eliminate ALL their power and the laws of this country as well. If you straddle the fence so much you might just get splinters and a rash in your ?????? Parts
How is it possible for the inciting of a riot on government grounds can you legitimately be the front runner of a political race?! They’ve already normalized this by allowing him no repercussions for this freaking long
@@freedomfirst5557 Democracy only works when everyone participates. Half of eligible voters failed to vote. Even if they didn't like the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate, if they all got behind another candidate, that person win in a massive landslide. Republicans know that the more people vote, the less they win. So they are desperately trying to suppress voting. The harder it is to vote, the better their chances. They also know that they can't win a free and fair election, so they game the system with gerrymandering. The cure for MAGAism is to get everyone voting.
tRumpy is a Dictator and he would never leave office this time. He will destroy our country and make it a Banana Republic along with the crazies that follow him. OMG😮
Yes. A sitting president engages in insurrection, but he shouldn’t be prosecuted because he’s running to be president to do it again. As hard as I try to make this make sense, I cannot do it.
I’d like to know how ANY judge would permit him to run for any public office. The Amendment is absolutely clear. No state should allow him on the ballot.
It seems like everyone is afraid of him. He has stated that if he wins, his whole term will be based on retribution. Of course, after he tears up the constitution and dismantle the government.
@femibabalola4057 - Common ! Who would jail a 77 year old Ruling Class Criminal, who’s White, Rich, Powerful, Old, Famous, Influential, Well Connected, Ex American president, with nearly 1/3 of the country backing him, & secret service protection for life? Furthermore, he’s 6’-2”, 300 lbs. & knows Karate !!!
I don't get this either. I used to be a registered republic but watching everyone getting in their knees for this melting human mangina is disgusting. What a bunch of hypocrite wussy babies.
Yes we do! We as the real AMERICANS here need to tell everybody we talk to to make sure they vote because are very life is at risk, we are not being protected by the CONSTITUTION and our government
@@LollieVoxHis argument was that he did not take an oath to “support” the constitution. His oath is to “preserve, protect, and defend” the constitution.
Geez…this is not rocket science…I’m not even close to being a lawyer and even I know a President has to be held accountable. A lawless president is the most dangerous public official there could be.
@@iamshastagold remarkable how ignorant people who think they are smart are… either that or they’re just plain evil.. No, hope for this country with the left, trying to destroy it for world communism
Absolutely 💯 Just think of the damage a U.S. president, who's way off the rails and a dictator wannabe like Trump, could do. Oh wait...we got a good taste of it from 2016 -2020. And he was just getting warmed up. 😱😱😱
that's the other aspect of this. CO has been trending blue for a while. Even if Trump is on the ballot..it may not matter. It would be wasted effort to try and remove Trump from the ballot in New York or California for example. He would never win those states anyway so why bother? If someone put forth the same lawsuit in Texas or Florida? now that would be something to watch.
it begs another question though. they can remove him from the ballot, but what if someone writes him in anyway? does that vote become disqualified then? that could be shaky ground there.
An oath to "protect and defend" the Constitution is a higher standard that just to "support" the Constitution. It makes zero sense that a person taking such an oath wouldn't be held to AT LEAST the same standard as those pledging to "support" the Constitution.
This is Republican judges and lawyers doing everything they can think of to let Trumpty Dumpty walk free. Remember, Republicans have no qualms about either stretching the truth, or lying.
Fully agree..."Support" is passive...an oath to maintain, protect and defend is an expectation of an active support. "Raise your hand if you support the Constitution"..."How many of you are willing to maintain, defend and protect the Constitution?" [Hands go down].
Now? We have morons like Matt Gaetz in the House demanding that the Pledge of Allegiance be recited everyday. Showboating as a distraction. Taking an "OATH" to the Constitution is far more symbolic than putting a hand over one's heart for a flag. THE WORDS ARE DIFFERENT, TOO!! Although, the best part is "...with liberty and justice for all". Letting Traitor Trump anywhere near the White House again is NOT 'justice' and WILL result in losses of liberty for most.
People have been sent to prison for less. Throw this traitor in prison. If anybody tries to overthrow fair and free elections, they should be disqualified to hold ANY government office.
I pray Trump is re-elected President. He is the only one who can turn around the complete dumpster fire that the Democrats and the left have turned this country into.
Colorado needs to be the first state to ban this horrible man from our ballot! He does not deserve to America's President again. Go Supreme Court of Colorado! Please!
Mr trump is the best person for the job. He has done it before and can do it again. He gave us more than we have had in years and Biden took it all away. People need to open there eyes and start watching what is going on
I think all they need to do is show the video of Trump being sworn in as President. He took an oath and it includes upholding the Constitution of the US. Very straightforward.
He’s been forced into a corner where he has to try absolutely everything possible to ensure it doesn’t end in the way they want it to. They said it themselves: ‘all or nothing’. All for who? Nothing for who? Something that should have taken a couple of weeks (not several years) shouldn’t need to come to such a decision. You have to ask yourself why these people are relinquishing themselves of any responsibility for his fate if it was supposed to be a nice fate? They were not expecting this saga to be played out in the public arena. So they have to wash their hands of it all now. They were not expecting to be exposed so openly and cannot accept being left in a position of utter humiliation. They’ve ran out of words to label him (having already over used: toxic, nasty, hate and dangerous). The latest one they’ve come up with is ‘rude’, simply for having natural desires to win an election. And ‘close minded’, simply because he doesn’t agree with their very narrow perspective (how ironic that these people, of all people, have come up with that one!). These people obviously underestimated him as he is still standing years longer they had envisaged. One thing is for certain, he is prepared for the fight of his life, given that this thing will go right until the early hours of election night and he can only hope and pray that he will be the one standing at the end of it.
Any 3rd party will mean the demise of the corrupt conservative Dem party as we know it. YaY!! The Dems understand the dire consequences and are no dummies so they fight like hell against any intrusion into their corrupt hegemony. Will they ever fight tooth-and-nail against the GOP?? Hell bleeping no!! Having the GOP as a partner in crime is part of the corrupt duopoly scam. Ain’t nothing going to happen to King Trumpo. It’s only a question of when he will become POTUS - again. He’s going to crush a senile Brandon who won't know what hit him as his dementia causes irreversible cognitive decline. So even if King Trumpo is sentenced for life and locked up, Fed law supersedes state law meaning he will serve his term as POTUS before he serves any time in state/Federal jail. All this happy talk of him being found guilty and put away is already water under the bridge for the immoral King of grift and corruption. Exploit the system and call-in favors from high places. Obedient, slimy and corrupt GOP/conservatives can’t run fast enough to bail him out. What a travesty of justice we have in this country of rules and laws. Here's a side note. What has Brandon done about inflation, high gas/food/housing/rent/healthcare/car prices and skyrocketing interest rates? Nada, zip, zilch. Brandon’s base is leaving him in the droves. Black, youth, student debtors, union workers and now Muslims have no reason to stay. Why are they leaving? Out-of-touch Brandon’s age, dementia, HH policies or lack thereof. Brandon isn’t doing a damn for the American people besides giving away (corporate welfare) billions to corporations. How does this help Americans pay their bills, fight inflation or make their lives better? FDR he ain’t. Well duh!! In fact, his team is ignoring public polls (privately they are freaking out as his approval rating has dropped to 37%, the lowest of any modern POTUS at this stage of his presidency) as being bias and stating he can course correct in the nick of time. Really? All presidential elections come down to 5-6 swing states and about 100+k voters. If you lose 10-15% of those voters it doesn’t matter what the other Blue States do, you’ve lost before you’ve even begun. Remember in 2020, people weren’t voting for Brandon, but voting against King Trumpo. A ham sandwich would have won if it was on the ballot. LOL!! Now MIA, conservative Brandon’s own ineptitude, lack-of-focus and incoherence is working against him. Just spouting he’s “Not” King Trumpo isn’t working… What an idiot! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming… Once King Trumpo become POTUS, he self-pardons, clears all his charges, and then goes scorched earth after anyone he doesn't like. Basically, he’ll turn our already corrupt, compromised and pliable government into a vindictive branch of his fascist regime. As a delusional fascist when unlimited powers he ain't going to hold back, but violate every stink'in law to get 100% vengeance and retribution as he and his minions destroy anyone that gets in his way using the full force our gutted government. Conservatives/RWs will bend over backwards to cater to all his wishes. Nothing the pathetic, toothless and sycophantic corporate conservative MSM, the MIA Dems or the American people can do to stop him as they all run/hide, duck and cover for their puny lives. Not the generals (only take orders from their CIC), not the RW Supreme Court (places loyalty above country), not anyone will stand up to him or they will face the full wrath of a completely unhinged and uncontrollable tyrant. They made this Frankenstein and now it will destroy them and our country. Of course, this hellscape can be prevented if the spineless, clueless, foxhole, rubber-stamping, capitulating corporate conservative Dems had an open Primary and had some “real” candidates the people were actually interested in. What a concept in a so-called Democracy!! But noooo, Brandon’s inflated ego and the Dem’s delusional strategy won’t let them do the right thing. It’s better to have a complete crony fascist madman in the office than to have any “liberal” or Progressive. Blows the mind! What do you expect from a dysfunctional RW party the last 40+ years? People, the FDR/LBJ Dems are Dead. Been dead since the late 1970’s. Today we have the Neo-Liberals (aka wishy-washy GOP-lite) who really aren’t that much different from the radical conservatives on the other side except for social issues which are being gutted left and right because “these” modern Dems Stand for Nothing and Fight for Less. They are 99.99% in lock-step with their slimy GOP partners in crime by wasting tens of trillions for bloated Defense/MIC, endless wars, tax cuts for the wealthy elites/corporations, Wall St Bailouts, insider trading, corporate welfare (just don’t call it “socialism”), violating our civil liberties (torture, surveillance, ”Deep” state, FISA, Patriot Act, NDAA) and neglecting, um screwing over, the American people every chance they get. This nation has been in a tailspin for decades because our corrupt duopoly doesn’t give a rat’s arse about anything besides getting re-elected and lining their pockets before they get booted. The Dem’s passive strategy of “doing nothing” to stop King Trumpo allows him to completely blow everything up again (which they are fine with) because in four stink’in years they automatically get back into power in the wake of all his destruction and turmoil/chaos. The Dems don’t even have to lift a stink’in finger as the GOP get booted out of office after all the carnage they cause. Easy peasy. The pitiful, lazy Dems wouldn’t even try to clean up or reverse his mess so our nation lurches further Rightward - again! All water under the bridge baby when they get back into power!! Who cares if this country has turned into a dystopian fascist hellscape/nightmare under GOP rule. Not their problem but yours! The corrupt corporate conservative status quo reigns supreme - forever more!! The Dems have no problem with this strategy, but do you?? It’s time to boot them all out and make they pay for their transgressions and sins. Your children will thank you! As long as the “liberals”/Progressives never get control, the Dems will gladly give the keys/reins to the despotic GOP all day long. The preservation of their corrupt duopoly and complete hegemony must be preserved at all costs. Only RW conservatives must be in control whether they be the timid, gullible, capitulating, gutless, wishy-washy Dems or the “take no prisoners”, insolent, racist Alphas, who govern with an iron fist. They don’t give a damn about the decline of our country or the people! Those stupid lemmings, um voters, have no choice but to vote for either corrupt party no matter what they do to them. See the con?? They win no matter what because the game is 100% rigged in their favor. You Reap what you Sow!! We need 3rd parties ASAP!!
The Supreme Court would be crazy if they don't vote to keep him off the ballot. He'll dismantle them if he's elected. There's no room for anyone else with power.
If this does go before the corrupt SCOTUS, wouldn't it be worth the price of admission to watch Prof. Lawrence Tribe and J Michael Luttig present the case, for the voters of America. Two top scholars taking SCOTUS to school on Constitutional Law. That would be priceless
And it wouldn't matter. The judges will already have made up their minds and rationalize anything. And there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
It is with great humility I opine that the US Supreme Court most strenuously will not want to make a decision about disqualification per the 14th Amendment. But they got their tails in this crick and they'll have to find a way out. As for the Colorado Supreme Court, I hope they have granite guts and make a sensible ruling, which will be to disqualify tfg for having been an office holder who who tried to overthrow the government. It may make things messy to have tfg on the ballot in some states and not in others but so be it. We have to use the justice system every chance we get to kick the fascists in the teeth. This is not a t.v. show. This is not fun and games. This is cold, hard reality.
You are the actual Fascist and don't even know it. This will be an easy one for the SCOTUS. The Colorado Supreme Court can't take Trump off the ballot without a trial and conviction. Of course, working outside the law and Constitution never bothered the left or Democrats.
SCOTUS already has in another case. Presidents are Officers. Someone should send the following I found in my research; to the Colorado Judge ASAP before they make their final decision. I'm Canadian hard for me to do it. Quote from SCOTUS; The U.S. Supreme Court wrote in Nixon v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731 (1982): “Article II, § 1, of the Constitution provides that "[t]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States. . . ." This grant of authority establishes the President as the CHIEF CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER of the Executive Branch, entrusted with supervisory and policy responsibilities of utmost discretion and sensitivity. (457 U.S. 749-750).”
The sad thing is, I'm pretty sure if the authors of section 3 of the 14th amendment were alive today, they'd probably be saying, "obviously, if the law disqualifies somebody from seeking a lower office, it would apply to a presidential candidate as well. We didn't think we had to write that one down for you morons."
They truly did need to write it down. A whole lot of our laws are based upon honor and ethics which we can no longer rely upon. And likely never could rely upon.
Problem is that earlier versions of the amendment named the president but it was changed before being passed. No one complained about that removal. It seems that at the time they understood it to be EVERY governmental office and removed it to keep from being redundant.
@@emrek99205 The legislative record is clear. Someone did complain, but it was explained to him that the catchall language made the Amendment include the President.
The “absentee ballots” for the soldiers/citizens overseas MUST be printed up in time, delaying tactics and running out the clock is NOT an option for the “Chump Maker” or the Republican Party THIS time.💜👿
For primary elections it’s not uncommon for a candidate to drop out while still on the ballot. People just have to pay attention to make sure their vote goes to a valid candidate. Ideally he would not be on it, but not a disaster if ballots get made with him disqualified.
It should NEVER be an option or not. If it isn't a fair elecrion , then look why. The republican party is your answer every single time, look up your own history. Weird they defend it all. Facist party. Clear as day Nothi g learnt from 2 world wars learnt in US. Trump is Putin's best mate too. Ya I ow. That massive facist. Mate worh republicans. Wakey wakey. Your leader Trump is basically Hitler. If you don't see it and fight it you are the same facists as him. Well done
It’s crazy how everything I learned in 7th grade civics class no longer applies. This one guy comes along and throws a few tantrums and now the constitution is just suggestions
TANTRUMS?How does anyone describe the cruetlies and racism of Maga as TANTRUMS?They are not children.Kids have hearts and souls.Maga does not .,,but hey keep calling them child like and CLOWNS ,that will warn voters about the dangers of Maga?
Colorado Supreme Court needs to read this; The U.S. Supreme Court wrote in Nixon v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731 (1982): “Article II, § 1, of the Constitution provides that "[t]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States. . . ." This grant of authority establishes the President as the CHIEF CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER of the Executive Branch, entrusted with supervisory and policy responsibilities of utmost discretion and sensitivity. (457 U.S. 749-750).”
The judges in colorado were acting like kindergarten children, they were so scared to give the right answer and the answer is "he is disqualified". Those judges should go back to kindergarten and let real judges and adults to give the right answer.
The duty of the judges is to interpret and apply the law as best as they possibly can. Sometimes the law is unclear and multiple interpretations are possible. While this blog attracts people who interpret the 14th one way, there are other blogs where it is interpreted another way. The judges in this case need to understand all the possible interpretations in order to pick the right one
Yup, and exactly why nothing is likely to happen now, thankfully, trump is sort of unique in this regard, I don't know how he does it, but wriggling out of trouble is his superpower. 🤷♂️
It seems to me that the court doesn’t want to be the first to rule that rump cant be on the ballot. I don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to do their jobs. Im so sick and tired of that traitor making life miserable for all of us. If the courts would just treat him like every other criminal, we wouldn’t be in constant chaos.

I just realized, Trump is using a trick out of the Russian playbook. They will swear any oath, sign any treaty--then turn around and spit on said piece of paper. Like Putin and Lavrov, Trump has no intention to follow the rules of the country. We should treat him like the scofflaw he is.
As a Colorado Native I truly hope that they decide to remove him from the ballot. If not then we need to vote those judges out of office. Chump can't be allowed to run again.
If by some chance, your state does allow for him to still be on the ballot, all you would have to do is not vote for him. I realize that you have trump turds in your state, but there isn't enough of them for him to win the state. I live in PA, After what the nation did in 2020 to him, I have all the faith that we will do it again. After all, the orange turd just said he'd be dictator for a day. And who the hell wants that. I'm 58, served this Country, I want to see his fat carcass serving time in prison, not the WH.
@@kanoriv2062 Do you mean "I like that. Chump 🤣 or as you wrote it, meaning you like trump? With respect, the odd comma here and there can make a big difference.
It shouldn't matter who appointed the Supreme Court justices, they should still obligated to be impartial and follow the rule of law. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be the case at the Federal level. That's how divided the country is right now.
I don't think it matters if it's considered a federal office or not. The office of the presidency is supposed to safeguard the Constitution. He should be kept off the ballot just like Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy.
Yea,but what i dont understand is how he did not take an oath to defend and protect the constitution.usually you cant be sure that the oath Donald Trump would swear to could not be taking seriously, due to all the lies he has told
Thank you, Brian, for asking that last question because that was the question I was going to ask in the comments .. And thank you to Brian and Glen for all that you do. ❤❤
It doesn't say president. The amendments were not written by the original writers. The 14th one was for civil war considerations, and the president was in the north, so it wasn't included. You think people were trying to bar Abraham Lincoln from running for president? The south did not have someone who was a president / insurrection partaker. Donald ought to be a felon by the time the election comes, and in prison for life, though, and he can't run a country from his cell.
If the insurrection action is reaffirmed, will the DOJ be able to go after the Senators and Congress members that aided and comforted? Lets hope so- bye bye Jim and Josh!!
Any senator or representative who authorized, organized, and or supervised the scouting tours of the US Capitol complex on 1-5-2021 should be investigated.
Back in 2018 I told my spouse , I wouldn't let this guy (tRump) deliver an SS check to his grandma. tRump installs Louis DeJoy as Post Master General , and ..... Those of you that followed already know what DeJoy did. Cant make this stuff up !
The only possible way the SCOTUS declines to accept the appeal is if the Colorado Supreme Court upholds the District Court ruling in its entirety and allows Trump to be on the ballot, which would be a miscarriage of justice.
WE the people won’t let anyone or any court decide the will of the people. There will be hell to pay. Our country deserves better. I can’t wait for Robert F Kennedy Junior to win in 2024. That’s my opinion. AS long as I am free to voice my opinion I will speak up and stand by and watch this fiasco run its course. No justice no peace. Know justice Know peace. So be it so help us God Almighty. We have work to do in this country to save our democracy from tyranny.
Whether he is the best or not doesnt matter. If the best person I know kills someone they should be charged and convicted for it. The law applies even to people you are a fan of. If the 14th amendment applies to him and his actions meet the legal definition of aiding, inciting, or participating in an insurrection then he should be liable. Thats all there is to it. Just like if Biden is actually found to have taken bribes etc he should be impeached over it. @@TimothyCarey-vy1zo
If you asked a 10-year-old (like my grandson) the same question about Trump being allowed to stand for office - you KNOW what the answer would be ... a resounding NO WAY! Or to put it another way: he was running the show, he piled up the debt, he increased job losses, he failed to manage CoVID, the economy dived; then he lost the election, refused to go quietly, causing death, destruction and mayhem - and now he thinks he's qualified to take back the job??? DUH!
He's never too young to corrupt (I mean introduce) him to politics. I started getting interested at about his age. By the time I was 16-17 had a good idea how I felt on most issues. My parents never influenced me at all. I found out later in life what party my dad belonged to and already was aware which one my mom was in. I live out of the country and read the voter's guide if I'm unclear about ballot measures or candidates I don't know about.
Especially for someone who claims he'll be a dictator starting on Day 1 in office and do away with the Constitution! Yes, definitely a severe threat to our country and our democracy.
Conversely, an ex-con with 30+ yrs crime free, clean & sober and highly motivated to work has difficulty landing interviews because Ai is reading the applications. The world is upside down.
I suggest you read Judge Wallace's 102-page rulings. She has made a plausible interpretation of the 14th Amendment, although I don't think it is the best interpretation, and I hope it will be overturned. Another possibility is that some court will say the Amendment is ambiguous, in which case the decision will go to the defendant.
Someone should send the following I found in my research; to the Colorado Judge ASAP before they make their final decision. I'm Canadian hard for me to do it. Quote from SCOTUS; The U.S. Supreme Court wrote in Nixon v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731 (1982): “Article II, § 1, of the Constitution provides that "[t]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States. . . ." This grant of authority establishes the President as the CHIEF CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER of the Executive Branch, entrusted with supervisory and policy responsibilities of utmost discretion and sensitivity. (457 U.S. 749-750).”
WOW...the ignorance of this group. I think Trump told the crowd to march peacefully. It was the FBI instigators that started the assault on the capital. I saw no destruction like ANTICA and BLM riots. Those were inserections. Where were you when they were burning cities.
It is, just not as plainly written as the justices would need to see it. They don't want to remove him, so they're delaying as best they can--remember judge Cannon?
Because it's not about the truth. The "justice system" is just using word salad to try to confuse people into believing the law doesn't mandate that someone doing what trump has done must be imprisoned and definitely can't run for office. The law is clear but it's mostly republicans who control enforcement so trump is above the law.
Colorado Supreme Court needs to read this; The U.S. Supreme Court wrote in Nixon v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731 (1982): “Article II, § 1, of the Constitution provides that "[t]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States. . . ." This grant of authority establishes the President as the CHIEF CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER of the Executive Branch, entrusted with supervisory and policy responsibilities of utmost discretion and sensitivity. (457 U.S. 749-750).”
@@johnbriggs3916 you’re right, his oath actually carries more weight . His duty is to preserve protect and defend the constitution. Seems like they’re trying to muddy the waters because of the word support.
@@cleanwhite6527 The word "support" is actually a mistake in Article VI (it should have been "defend".) This mistake was compounded by the 14th Amendment also using "support".

The president is Commander In Chief of the United States military and can be held to the exact same oath standards as any other military personnel. For the question of whether or not their behavior should disqualify them from service in political power, just swap trump with any soldier. Would a soldier who engaged in an armed and violent insurrection, disrupting the election process, and threatening sitting Congresspeople be disqualified? YES So would any other sworn officer of the court, soldier, or oath-sworn politician be held to the same standard. There is no release date from this oath either. You don't get out of your oath just by retiring, or in trump's case... getting fired...
Collectively, from beginning to end, how much money have taxpayers paid for all of these lawsuits, and re-counts of votes and challenging decisions and sending him up to higher court it’s got to be staggering, and the fact that we are still paying for Secret Service to protect him is ludicrous it is absolutely outrageous the amount of tax dollars wasted, but I guess if we defeat him then it’s all worth every penny
Has to be a think tank that would take on the money wasted from Big Lie alone.🤮 Guaranteed every County in 50 states had to raise their budget. Many didn't have electronic machines before Trump. I have run polling locations with only one other person (2 required for security reasons, transport also. The goal was one Democrat One Republican). Since 2020 I haven't seen a polling location with under 6 payed County contractors PLUS the observers/watchers taking up more space. Day of election I counted 12 workers. Large counties have dozens of locations. All procedures have changed because of ONE👻 Man🤕🤥
Frankly, I think the Supreme Court justices know Trump doesn't belong on the ballot, but don't think the majority of them have the balls to remove him. Sad but true.
When it could mean life or death, then 'having the balls' is taking on a lot of concern for yourself and family. If it were up to me to get the twit Trump out. Then I'd have to be concerned for myself and family. I'd probably go no contest and quit. I'm not going to place my family in harms way. Yes it would take a lot of balls, could you do it?
They remove him or he invalidates them. They cannot both remain. His regaining the office will be him crowning himself and then closing the SCOTUS - which means SCOTUS can't risk it.
Seems like all of them also forgot they too sworn to an oath when they became judges. And now their breaking that oath. Not holding trump accountable for his actions
I've served in the federal government as military and civilian personnel. The POTUS was my boss in both situations. How in the HELL was Donald, NOT a federal employee? His cabinet is full of people he hired to be secretary of various agencies. That judges' decision makes absolutely no sense. 🤨
This presentation of the "data' is excellent. I love the questions asked of Brian and Glen- your Experience = really ties everything together. Your observations vital. Love, love your analysis. Glen you could be wrong- then I say, I enjoyed the ride but the ending for me came to a crash (but) I am waiting on Pins and Needles. How exciting...
Trump's AG Bill Barr made the decision that Mueller couldn't go forward with the case. There's Trump's politicization of the DOJ he keeps screaming about. It was his guy that let him slide on by like the slime balls they all are. Funny how MAGAs forget about these things. VOTE BLUE! VOTE BLUE! VOTE BLUE! VOTE BLUE or the USA is through!
What did Mueller know? Did you read his report or did you allow the co-conspiritors to tell you what he said? Trump and his co-conspirators all refused to talk to Mueller. He never said no collusion, only trump, GOP and right-wing media told you that. Mueller said he didn't have enough to say for sure, Because trump and his gang got to act like they were immune from investigation into treason and refused to speak about Russia to Mueller. I wonder why? Since then, his campaign helped them and was found GUILTY of sharing internal polling data with Russia so they knew who to target on social media with disinformation and lies about emails. That's called a COORDINATED social media disinformation campaign. Since Mueller, trump defended Russia personally and in front of the world in Helsinki 2018, and took his side over every intelligence agency we have and trumps own National security adviser. Why would he do that? That's aid and comfort to an enemy that attacked us and our election at trump's personal and public request. Cyberattacks are a hybrid warfare tactic. A warfare tactic......a warfare tactic.... Doss it Sound like collusion yet? Does it sound like Treason yet? I wonder why trump HAD to say "no collusion" Every 5 minutes when cameras were around? Why did Trump have to pardon so many of his co-conspirators that he'd previously appointed to high ranking positions in our government only to find out they were Convicted of felonies. Many of them with Russian connections they refused to disclose under oath. Mueller DID however have more than enough evidence for 10 counts of obstruction which were laid out in detail. You should read it. 45 obstructed every day by lying to Americans about it in front of cameras and Republicans who also stood in front of cameras and helped Donald spread those lies should all be very nervous if their extremely obvious and slow-moving coup doesn't work. GOP corruptly refused and failed to uphold their oaths to protect and defend our constitution from a clear domestic enemy twice. Why? Why can't they hold him accountable? Conspiracy? Complicity? Absolutely.... HOLD them accountable.
Mueller did his job,it was Moscow Mitch and the ReThugs senate kept him in office not once but twice and I say get rid of that law that you can’t indict or arrest a sitting president
He's weak & disrespecting voters. His failed promises and bad policies would be thrown at him, plus he'd be asked about his current standing. Despite his public bravado, his tail is tucked.
The basic principle is simple. Having taken an oath and then demonstrating a complete disregard for it, one should not be permitted to pretend taking that same oath again. They have rendered all oaths meaningless, and if they cannot bind themselves to an oath they can’t assume the office that requires it.
14-3 applies to Every American Citizen especially leadership that has taken an oath of office and most importantly would & does include a president. Wish these lawyers would stop playing word games. smh
The House back in 2021 voted that trump aided in an insurrection. A Colorado judge reinforced that ruling by herself ruling Trump engaged and aided in insurrection. I bet courts in other states will rule the same. If the SCOTUS has eyes and ears, they too should vote in the affirmative.
You are assuming that SCOTUS has any moral fortitude. Remember, these individuals came up through the Federalist Society, courage is one of those traits that they beat out of their members.
Big difference between "voted" and "convicted". The Colorado judge blatantly overstepped her authority in her ruling. She cannot make a conviction on a whim without following due process.

An oath to "protect and defend" the Constitution is a higher standard that just to "support" the Constitution. It makes zero sense that a person taking such an oath wouldn't be held to AT LEAST the same standard as those pledging to "support" the Constitution.
This is Republican judges and lawyers doing everything they can think of to let Trumpty Dumpty walk free. Remember, Republicans have no qualms about either stretching the truth, or lying.
The ONLY part of the constitution #45 cared about was abolishing the 22nd amendment, so he could be president until he died.
Fully agree..."Support" is passive...an oath to maintain, protect and defend is an expectation of an active support.
"Raise your hand if you support the Constitution"..."How many of you are willing to maintain, defend and protect the Constitution?" [Hands go down].
Now? We have morons like Matt Gaetz in the House demanding that the Pledge of Allegiance be recited everyday. Showboating as a distraction. Taking an "OATH" to the Constitution is far more symbolic than putting a hand over one's heart for a flag. THE WORDS ARE DIFFERENT, TOO!! Although, the best part is "...with liberty and justice for all".
Letting Traitor Trump anywhere near the White House again is NOT 'justice' and WILL result in losses of liberty for most.
People have been sent to prison for less. Throw this traitor in prison. If anybody tries to overthrow fair and free elections, they should be disqualified to hold ANY government office.

Good thinking!
Well said👍👍
He’s been forced into a corner where he has to try absolutely everything possible to ensure it doesn’t end in the way they want it to. They said it themselves: ‘all or nothing’. All for who? Nothing for who? Something that should have taken a couple of weeks (not several years) shouldn’t need to come to such a decision. You have to ask yourself why these people are relinquishing themselves of any responsibility for his fate if it was supposed to be a nice fate?
They were not expecting this saga to be played out in the public arena. So they have to wash their hands of it all now. They were not expecting to be exposed so openly and cannot accept being left in a position of utter humiliation.
They’ve ran out of words to label him (having already over used: toxic, nasty, hate and dangerous). The latest one they’ve come up with is ‘rude’, simply for having natural desires to win an election. And ‘close minded’, simply because he doesn’t agree with their very narrow perspective (how ironic that these people, of all people, have come up with that one!).
These people obviously underestimated him as he is still standing years longer they had envisaged. One thing is for certain, he is prepared for the fight of his life, given that this thing will go right until the early hours of election night and he can only hope and pray that he will be the one standing at the end of it.
The same can be said about every Democrat on congress.

Any 3rd party will mean the demise of the corrupt conservative Dem party as we know it. YaY!! The Dems understand the dire consequences and are no dummies so they fight like hell against any intrusion into their corrupt hegemony. Will they ever fight tooth-and-nail against the GOP?? Hell bleeping no!! Having the GOP as a partner in crime is part of the corrupt duopoly scam.
Ain’t nothing going to happen to King Trumpo. It’s only a question of when he will become POTUS - again. He’s going to crush a senile Brandon who won't know what hit him as his dementia causes irreversible cognitive decline. So even if King Trumpo is sentenced for life and locked up, Fed law supersedes state law meaning he will serve his term as POTUS before he serves any time in state/Federal jail. All this happy talk of him being found guilty and put away is already water under the bridge for the immoral King of grift and corruption. Exploit the system and call-in favors from high places. Obedient, slimy and corrupt GOP/conservatives can’t run fast enough to bail him out. What a travesty of justice we have in this country of rules and laws.
Here's a side note.
What has Brandon done about inflation, high gas/food/housing/rent/healthcare/car prices and skyrocketing interest rates? Nada, zip, zilch.
Brandon’s base is leaving him in the droves. Black, youth, student debtors, union workers and now Muslims have no reason to stay. Why are they leaving? Out-of-touch Brandon’s age, dementia, HH policies or lack thereof. Brandon isn’t doing a damn for the American people besides giving away (corporate welfare) billions to corporations. How does this help Americans pay their bills, fight inflation or make their lives better? FDR he ain’t. Well duh!!
In fact, his team is ignoring public polls (privately they are freaking out as his approval rating has dropped to 37%, the lowest of any modern POTUS at this stage of his presidency) as being bias and stating he can course correct in the nick of time. Really? All presidential elections come down to 5-6 swing states and about 100+k voters. If you lose 10-15% of those voters it doesn’t matter what the other Blue States do, you’ve lost before you’ve even begun.
Remember in 2020, people weren’t voting for Brandon, but voting against King Trumpo. A ham sandwich would have won if it was on the ballot. LOL!! Now MIA, conservative Brandon’s own ineptitude, lack-of-focus and incoherence is working against him. Just spouting he’s “Not” King Trumpo isn’t working… What an idiot!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…
Once King Trumpo become POTUS, he self-pardons, clears all his charges, and then goes scorched earth after anyone he doesn't like. Basically, he’ll turn our already corrupt, compromised and pliable government into a vindictive branch of his fascist regime. As a delusional fascist when unlimited powers he ain't going to hold back, but violate every stink'in law to get 100% vengeance and retribution as he and his minions destroy anyone that gets in his way using the full force our gutted government. Conservatives/RWs will bend over backwards to cater to all his wishes.
Nothing the pathetic, toothless and sycophantic corporate conservative MSM, the MIA Dems or the American people can do to stop him as they all run/hide, duck and cover for their puny lives. Not the generals (only take orders from their CIC), not the RW Supreme Court (places loyalty above country), not anyone will stand up to him or they will face the full wrath of a completely unhinged and uncontrollable tyrant. They made this Frankenstein and now it will destroy them and our country.
Of course, this hellscape can be prevented if the spineless, clueless, foxhole, rubber-stamping, capitulating corporate conservative Dems had an open Primary and had some “real” candidates the people were actually interested in. What a concept in a so-called Democracy!! But noooo, Brandon’s inflated ego and the Dem’s delusional strategy won’t let them do the right thing. It’s better to have a complete crony fascist madman in the office than to have any “liberal” or Progressive. Blows the mind!
What do you expect from a dysfunctional RW party the last 40+ years? People, the FDR/LBJ Dems are Dead. Been dead since the late 1970’s. Today we have the Neo-Liberals (aka wishy-washy GOP-lite) who really aren’t that much different from the radical conservatives on the other side except for social issues which are being gutted left and right because “these” modern Dems Stand for Nothing and Fight for Less. They are 99.99% in lock-step with their slimy GOP partners in crime by wasting tens of trillions for bloated Defense/MIC, endless wars, tax cuts for the wealthy elites/corporations, Wall St Bailouts, insider trading, corporate welfare (just don’t call it “socialism”), violating our civil liberties (torture, surveillance, ”Deep” state, FISA, Patriot Act, NDAA) and neglecting, um screwing over, the American people every chance they get. This nation has been in a tailspin for decades because our corrupt duopoly doesn’t give a rat’s arse about anything besides getting re-elected and lining their pockets before they get booted.
The Dem’s passive strategy of “doing nothing” to stop King Trumpo allows him to completely blow everything up again (which they are fine with) because in four stink’in years they automatically get back into power in the wake of all his destruction and turmoil/chaos. The Dems don’t even have to lift a stink’in finger as the GOP get booted out of office after all the carnage they cause. Easy peasy. The pitiful, lazy Dems wouldn’t even try to clean up or reverse his mess so our nation lurches further Rightward - again! All water under the bridge baby when they get back into power!! Who cares if this country has turned into a dystopian fascist hellscape/nightmare under GOP rule. Not their problem but yours! The corrupt corporate conservative status quo reigns supreme - forever more!! The Dems have no problem with this strategy, but do you?? It’s time to boot them all out and make they pay for their transgressions and sins. Your children will thank you!
As long as the “liberals”/Progressives never get control, the Dems will gladly give the keys/reins to the despotic GOP all day long. The preservation of their corrupt duopoly and complete hegemony must be preserved at all costs. Only RW conservatives must be in control whether they be the timid, gullible, capitulating, gutless, wishy-washy Dems or the “take no prisoners”, insolent, racist Alphas, who govern with an iron fist. They don’t give a damn about the decline of our country or the people! Those stupid lemmings, um voters, have no choice but to vote for either corrupt party no matter what they do to them. See the con?? They win no matter what because the game is 100% rigged in their favor.
You Reap what you Sow!!
We need 3rd parties ASAP!!
I watched it, it sounded to me like the judges were trying to find an excuse to leave Trump on the ballot
I hope I’m wrong.
Ditto!
Same.
If they wanted to they would.
They're all scared to do what will take even an OUNCE of courage.
I pray you are wrong every day. 🙏🏻🇺🇸⚖️💙🗽
The Supreme Court would be crazy if they don't vote to keep him off the ballot. He'll dismantle them if he's elected. There's no room for anyone else with power.
Very true. Listen up you boys and girls of the high bench. You ain't no more safe if this orange guy gets back. Mark my words!
He must not be able to run for any office ever again
🎯
The only running he should be doing is trying to get away from “Big Bubba” in the prison showers!
Not even to his own!
It's baffling as to why a person who obviously dislikes America, should be allowed to run it.
Yeah. Let those lowlife thieves that hold office now remain. You know nothing jerk
If this does go before the corrupt SCOTUS, wouldn't it be worth the price of admission to watch Prof. Lawrence Tribe and J Michael Luttig present the case, for the voters of America. Two top scholars taking SCOTUS to school on Constitutional Law. That would be priceless
I'm not even American, and I would pay handsomely to watch this.
And it wouldn't matter. The judges will already have made up their minds and rationalize anything. And there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
They will be supporting Neal katyal who will argue the case. It is a sure thing
Thank you for helping us understand about this matter. Hopefully justice will prevail!
It is with great humility I opine that the US Supreme Court most strenuously will not want to make a decision about disqualification per the 14th Amendment. But they got their tails in this crick and they'll have to find a way out. As for the Colorado Supreme Court, I hope they have granite guts and make a sensible ruling, which will be to disqualify tfg for having been an office holder who who tried to overthrow the government. It may make things messy to have tfg on the ballot in some states and not in others but so be it. We have to use the justice system every chance we get to kick the fascists in the teeth. This is not a t.v. show. This is not fun and games. This is cold, hard reality.
You are the actual Fascist and don't even know it. This will be an easy one for the SCOTUS. The Colorado Supreme Court can't take Trump off the ballot without a trial and conviction. Of course, working outside the law and Constitution never bothered the left or Democrats.
SCOTUS already has in another case. Presidents are Officers. Someone should send the following I found in my research; to the Colorado Judge ASAP before they make their final decision. I'm Canadian hard for me to do it. Quote from SCOTUS; The U.S. Supreme Court wrote in Nixon v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731 (1982): “Article II, § 1, of the Constitution provides that "[t]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States. . . ." This grant of authority establishes the President as the CHIEF CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER of the Executive Branch, entrusted with supervisory and policy responsibilities of utmost discretion and sensitivity. (457 U.S. 749-750).”
The sad thing is, I'm pretty sure if the authors of section 3 of the 14th amendment were alive today, they'd probably be saying, "obviously, if the law disqualifies somebody from seeking a lower office, it would apply to a presidential candidate as well. We didn't think we had to write that one down for you morons."
The 55 Framers of the Constitution were acting in 1788. The 14th Amendment was passed in 1868.
They truly did need to write it down.
A whole lot of our laws are based upon honor and ethics which we can no longer rely upon.
And likely never could rely upon.
@@thomasw.eggers4303 you're right. That's on me. But still...
Problem is that earlier versions of the amendment named the president but it was changed before being passed. No one complained about that removal. It seems that at the time they understood it to be EVERY governmental office and removed it to keep from being redundant.
@@emrek99205 The legislative record is clear. Someone did complain, but it was explained to him that the catchall language made the Amendment include the President.
The “absentee ballots” for the soldiers/citizens overseas MUST be printed up in time, delaying tactics and running out the clock is NOT an option for the “Chump Maker” or the Republican Party THIS time.💜👿
For primary elections it’s not uncommon for a candidate to drop out while still on the ballot. People just have to pay attention to make sure their vote goes to a valid candidate. Ideally he would not be on it, but not a disaster if ballots get made with him disqualified.
Texas made it where only disabled voters can mail in their ballots. Riggers be rigging.
It should NEVER be an option or not. If it isn't a fair elecrion , then look why. The republican party is your answer every single time, look up your own history. Weird they defend it all. Facist party. Clear as day

It’s crazy how everything I learned in 7th grade civics class no longer applies. This one guy comes along and throws a few tantrums and now the constitution is just suggestions

That part!!
The judges in colorado were acting like kindergarten children, they were so scared to give the right answer and the answer is "he is disqualified". Those judges should go back to kindergarten and let real judges and adults to give the right answer.
The duty of the judges is to interpret and apply the law as best as they possibly can. Sometimes the law is unclear and multiple interpretations are possible. While this blog attracts people who interpret the 14th one way, there are other blogs where it is interpreted another way. The judges in this case need to understand all the possible interpretations in order to pick the right one

Any 3rd party will mean the demise of the corrupt conservative Dem party as we know it. YaY!! The Dems understand the dire consequences and are no dummies so they fight like hell against any intrusion into their corrupt hegemony. Will they ever fight tooth-and-nail against the GOP?? Hell bleeping no!! Having the GOP as a partner in crime is part of the corrupt duopoly scam.
Ain’t nothing going to happen to King Trumpo. It’s only a question of when he will become POTUS - again. He’s going to crush a senile Brandon who won't know what hit him as his dementia causes irreversible cognitive decline. So even if King Trumpo is sentenced for life and locked up, Fed law supersedes state law meaning he will serve his term as POTUS before he serves any time in state/Federal jail. All this happy talk of him being found guilty and put away is already water under the bridge for the immoral King of grift and corruption. Exploit the system and call-in favors from high places. Obedient, slimy and corrupt GOP/conservatives can’t run fast enough to bail him out. What a travesty of justice we have in this country of rules and laws.
Here's a side note.
What has Brandon done about inflation, high gas/food/housing/rent/healthcare/car prices and skyrocketing interest rates? Nada, zip, zilch.
Brandon’s base is leaving him in the droves. Black, youth, student debtors, union workers and now Muslims have no reason to stay. Why are they leaving? Out-of-touch Brandon’s age, dementia, HH policies or lack thereof. Brandon isn’t doing a damn for the American people besides giving away (corporate welfare) billions to corporations. How does this help Americans pay their bills, fight inflation or make their lives better? FDR he ain’t. Well duh!!
In fact, his team is ignoring public polls (privately they are freaking out as his approval rating has dropped to 37%, the lowest of any modern POTUS at this stage of his presidency) as being bias and stating he can course correct in the nick of time. Really? All presidential elections come down to 5-6 swing states and about 100+k voters. If you lose 10-15% of those voters it doesn’t matter what the other Blue States do, you’ve lost before you’ve even begun.
Remember in 2020, people weren’t voting for Brandon, but voting against King Trumpo. A ham sandwich would have won if it was on the ballot. LOL!! Now MIA, conservative Brandon’s own ineptitude, lack-of-focus and incoherence is working against him. Just spouting he’s “Not” King Trumpo isn’t working… What an idiot!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…
Once King Trumpo become POTUS, he self-pardons, clears all his charges, and then goes scorched earth after anyone he doesn't like. Basically, he’ll turn our already corrupt, compromised and pliable government into a vindictive branch of his fascist regime. As a delusional fascist when unlimited powers he ain't going to hold back, but violate every stink'in law to get 100% vengeance and retribution as he and his minions destroy anyone that gets in his way using the full force our gutted government. Conservatives/RWs will bend over backwards to cater to all his wishes.
Nothing the pathetic, toothless and sycophantic corporate conservative MSM, the MIA Dems or the American people can do to stop him as they all run/hide, duck and cover for their puny lives. Not the generals (only take orders from their CIC), not the RW Supreme Court (places loyalty above country), not anyone will stand up to him or they will face the full wrath of a completely unhinged and uncontrollable tyrant. They made this Frankenstein and now it will destroy them and our country.
Of course, this hellscape can be prevented if the spineless, clueless, foxhole, rubber-stamping, capitulating corporate conservative Dems had an open Primary and had some “real” candidates the people were actually interested in.

Yep, that's a step in his drive to become a fascist dictator for America.
I just realized, Trump is using a trick out of the Russian playbook. They will swear any oath, sign any treaty--then turn around and spit on said piece of paper. Like Putin and Lavrov, Trump has no intention to follow the rules of the country. We should treat him like the scofflaw he is.
Yes he did, any part that included his crimes, he wants to eliminate. He a con and criminal minded man!

I don't think it matters if it's considered a federal office or not. The office of the presidency is supposed to safeguard the Constitution. He should be kept off the ballot just like Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy.
Yea,but what i dont understand is how he did not take an oath to defend and protect the constitution.usually you cant be sure that the oath Donald Trump would swear to could not be taking seriously, due to all the lies he has told

It doesn't say president. The amendments were not written by the original writers. The 14th one was for civil war considerations, and the president was in the north, so it wasn't included. You think people were trying to bar Abraham Lincoln from running for president? The south did not have someone who was a president / insurrection partaker.
Donald ought to be a felon by the time the election comes, and in prison for life, though, and he can't run a country from his cell.

The only possible way the SCOTUS declines to accept the appeal is if the Colorado Supreme Court upholds the District Court ruling in its entirety and allows Trump to be on the ballot, which would be a miscarriage of justice.
I'm afraid this is true.😢
Yep! Off the ballet - they WILL interfere.

So be it so help us God Almighty. We have work to do in this country to save our democracy from tyranny.
Whether he is the best or not doesnt matter. If the best person I know kills someone they should be charged and convicted for it. The law applies even to people you are a fan of. If the 14th amendment applies to him and his actions meet the legal definition of aiding, inciting, or participating in an insurrection then he should be liable. Thats all there is to it. Just like if Biden is actually found to have taken bribes etc he should be impeached over it. @@TimothyCarey-vy1zo
Thank you for the update and for breaking this down. Very clear.
If you asked a 10-year-old (like my grandson) the same question about Trump being allowed to stand for office - you KNOW what the answer would be ... a resounding NO WAY!
Or to put it another way: he was running the show, he piled up the debt, he increased job losses, he failed to manage CoVID, the economy dived; then he lost the election, refused to go quietly, causing death, destruction and mayhem - and now he thinks he's qualified to take back the job??? DUH!
Well said . 💯 % correct.
He's never too young to corrupt (I mean introduce) him to politics. I started getting interested at about his age. By the time I was 16-17 had a good idea how I felt on most issues. My parents never influenced me at all. I found out later in life what party my dad belonged to and already was aware which one my mom was in. I live out of the country and read the voter's guide if I'm unclear about ballot measures or candidates I don't know about.
Other than all that he's a ok guy lololol 😂 😆 🤣 🙃 😅

How is the Office of the President not a Federal Office?
I suggest you read Judge Wallace's 102-page rulings. She has made a plausible interpretation of the 14th Amendment, although I don't think it is the best interpretation, and I hope it will be overturned. Another possibility is that some court will say the Amendment is ambiguous, in which case the decision will go to the defendant.

How in the world is the president of the United States not a federal office
It is, just not as plainly written as the justices would need to see it. They don't want to remove him, so they're delaying as best they can--remember judge Cannon?
We never want a president above constitution and Judiciary.
That is the lost president@@butterfly-nb1ow
That is the whining little panty waist Donny to a T!
Doesn't the presidential oath itself call president an "office?" How can anyone argue it isn't?
Because it's not about the truth. The "justice system" is just using word salad to try to confuse people into believing the law doesn't mandate that someone doing what trump has done must be imprisoned and definitely can't run for office. The law is clear but it's mostly republicans who control enforcement so trump is above the law.
I suggest you read Judge Wallace's 102-page opinion to learn her argument.

Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 731 (1982): “Article II, § 1, of the Constitution provides that "[t]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States. . . ." This grant of authority establishes the President as the CHIEF CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER of the Executive Branch, entrusted with supervisory and policy responsibilities of utmost discretion and sensitivity. (457 U.S. 749-750).”
THIS!!!!
@@thomasw.eggers4303IT DOES SAY THAT. SHE IS INSANE TRUMP MAGANUT
So you’re telling me that swearing an oath of office means you’re not an officer of that office?
It's a different Oath.
@@johnbriggs3916 you’re right, his oath actually carries more weight . His duty is to preserve protect and defend the constitution. Seems like they’re trying to muddy the waters because of the word support.
@@cleanwhite6527 The word "support" is actually a mistake in Article VI (it should have been "defend".) This mistake was compounded by the 14th Amendment also using "support".
@@cleanwhite6527 His lawyers are wriggling like a worm on a hook, doing everything they can to keep Trumpty Dumpty out of jail. I hope they fail!
0:07 0:08 reading from Normandy France I’m an American living in Europe and I really hope that it’s Biden that is in 2024 or it’s gonna be a serious shit. Keep up the good work, Brian.

You can say that again !
I'm French living in the US and I agree!
if yall like biden i truly feel the US is lost.....guy cant walk or even talk correctly.....smh
@@b__w_4565there's no video evidence of that but there's daily videos of trumps cognitive decline...
Brian, you are so good at identifying and then asking the key questions. Thank you.
What a Christmas gift to America this could be!
Pretty sure the US is on Santa's naughty list.😞
we've been screwed since Americans voted a dementia patient in......lol
Or an endless nightmare. If Trump gets back into the White House, he'll never leave--he'll set himself up as Dictator-for-Life.
That would be the only Christmas gift I would like to have 😂😂
❤ you guys !! Thank you so much informing us on this very important matter. 🙏🇺🇸❤️🙏🇺🇸❤️🙏🇺🇸❤️🙏🇺🇸
The president is Commander In Chief of the United States military and can be held to the exact same oath standards as any other military personnel.
For the question of whether or not their behavior should disqualify them from service in political power, just swap trump with any soldier.
Would a soldier who engaged in an armed and violent insurrection, disrupting the election process, and threatening sitting Congresspeople be disqualified? YES
So would any other sworn officer of the court, soldier, or oath-sworn politician be held to the same standard. There is no release date from this oath either.
You don't get out of your oath just by retiring, or in trump's case... getting fired...
Such a different set of rules for the rich. Anyone else would be rotting in jail.
Collectively, from beginning to end, how much money have taxpayers paid for all of these lawsuits, and re-counts of votes and challenging decisions and sending him up to higher court it’s got to be staggering, and the fact that we are still paying for Secret Service to protect him is ludicrous it is absolutely outrageous the amount of tax dollars wasted, but I guess if we defeat him then it’s all worth every penny
Only in AMERICA
Has to be a think tank that would take on the money wasted from Big Lie alone.🤮 Guaranteed every County in 50 states had to raise their budget. Many didn't have electronic machines before Trump.
I have run polling locations with only one other person (2 required for security reasons, transport also. The goal was one Democrat One Republican).
Since 2020 I haven't seen a polling location with under 6 payed County contractors PLUS the observers/watchers taking up more space.
Day of election I counted 12 workers. Large counties have dozens of locations. All procedures have changed because of ONE👻 Man🤕🤥
Would have been a lot cheaper to have the CIA take care of it like they did with JFK
Defeat and imprison DJT
If we want a democracy, then anything we pay is worth imprisoning Trump.
Frankly, I think the Supreme Court justices know Trump doesn't belong on the ballot, but don't think the majority of them have the balls to remove him. Sad but true.
no balls!
When it could mean life or death, then 'having the balls' is taking on a lot of concern for yourself and family.
If it were up to me to get the twit Trump out. Then I'd have to be concerned for myself and family. I'd probably go no contest and quit. I'm not going to place my family in harms way.
Yes it would take a lot of balls, could you do it?
Totally agree
They remove him or he invalidates them.
They cannot both remain.
His regaining the office will be him crowning himself and then closing the SCOTUS - which means SCOTUS can't risk it.
Seems like all of them also forgot they too sworn to an oath when they became judges. And now their breaking that oath. Not holding trump accountable for his actions
I've served in the federal government as military and civilian personnel. The POTUS was my boss in both situations. How in the HELL was Donald, NOT a federal employee? His cabinet is full of people he hired to be secretary of various agencies. That judges' decision makes absolutely no sense. 🤨
💯
This presentation of the "data' is excellent.
I love the questions asked of Brian and Glen- your
Experience = really ties everything together. Your
observations vital. Love, love your analysis.
Glen you could be wrong- then I say, I enjoyed the ride
but the ending for me came to a crash (but) I am waiting
on Pins and Needles. How exciting...
The judge pulled Mueller! Tell us all how guilty the man is but chicken out and hope somebody else will actually hold him accountable!
Trump's AG Bill Barr made the decision that Mueller couldn't go forward with the case. There's Trump's politicization of the DOJ he keeps screaming about. It was his guy that let him slide on by like the slime balls they all are. Funny how MAGAs forget about these things.
VOTE BLUE! VOTE BLUE! VOTE BLUE!
VOTE BLUE or the USA is through!
I think the Judge punted knowing the decision would get appealed so the issue would go to a higher court and become law
@@sandyr1789Safety in numbers besides. One judge vs a panel.
What did Mueller know? Did you read his report or did you allow the co-conspiritors to tell you what he said? Trump and his co-conspirators all refused to talk to Mueller. He never said no collusion, only trump, GOP and right-wing media told you that. Mueller said he didn't have enough to say for sure, Because trump and his gang got to act like they were immune from investigation into treason and refused to speak about Russia to Mueller. I wonder why? Since then, his campaign helped them and was found GUILTY of sharing internal polling data with Russia so they knew who to target on social media with disinformation and lies about emails. That's called a COORDINATED social media disinformation campaign. Since Mueller, trump defended Russia personally and in front of the world in Helsinki 2018, and took his side over every intelligence agency we have and trumps own National security adviser. Why would he do that? That's aid and comfort to an enemy that attacked us and our election at trump's personal and public request. Cyberattacks are a hybrid warfare tactic. A warfare tactic......a warfare tactic....
Doss it Sound like collusion yet? Does it sound like Treason yet? I wonder why trump HAD to say "no collusion" Every 5 minutes when cameras were around? Why did Trump have to pardon so many of his co-conspirators that he'd previously appointed to high ranking positions in our government only to find out they were Convicted of felonies. Many of them with Russian connections they refused to disclose under oath.
Mueller DID however have more than enough evidence for 10 counts of obstruction which were laid out in detail. You should read it. 45 obstructed every day by lying to Americans about it in front of cameras and Republicans who also stood in front of cameras and helped Donald spread those lies should all be very nervous if their extremely obvious and slow-moving coup doesn't work. GOP corruptly refused and failed to uphold their oaths to protect and defend our constitution from a clear domestic enemy twice. Why? Why can't they hold him accountable? Conspiracy? Complicity? Absolutely....
HOLD them accountable.
Mueller did his job,it was Moscow Mitch and the ReThugs senate kept him in office not once but twice and I say get rid of that law that you can’t indict or arrest a sitting president
He did not even have the courage to be part of the Republican Debate
He knows he's too senile and too stupid to debate.
He's weak & disrespecting voters. His failed promises and bad policies would be thrown at him, plus he'd be asked about his current standing. Despite his public bravado, his tail is tucked.
He never wants to share the "limelight" with anyone else.
Because Christie would destroy him on that stage.
He has noting to gain...The Democrats have made him a martyr. You can kick yourself in the ass
The basic principle is simple. Having taken an oath and then demonstrating a complete disregard for it, one should not be permitted to pretend taking that same oath again. They have rendered all oaths meaningless, and if they cannot bind themselves to an oath they can’t assume the office that requires it.
Agreed! We are NOT RUSSIA!
Agreed!
This also includes all Congress people!
@@mytwocents848 Indeed. But, it does need to be raised or adjudicated. Who has standing to make that happen?
Will one judge...any judge..stand up for our Constitution!!!!!! He has been given enough....it's time for him to pay!!!!(
He should be barred from living on this planet!!!!!
14-3 applies to Every American Citizen especially leadership that has taken an oath of office and most importantly would & does include a president.
Wish these lawyers would stop playing word games. smh
"Wish these lawyers would stop playing word games."
The House back in 2021 voted that trump aided in an insurrection. A Colorado judge reinforced that ruling by herself ruling Trump engaged and aided in insurrection. I bet courts in other states will rule the same. If the SCOTUS has eyes and ears, they too should vote in the affirmative.
You are assuming that SCOTUS has any moral fortitude. Remember, these individuals came up through the Federalist Society, courage is one of those traits that they beat out of their members.
But two of the most prestigious members of that society have come forward and said Trump should be disqualified.
Big difference between "voted" and "convicted". The Colorado judge blatantly overstepped her authority in her ruling. She cannot make a conviction on a whim without following due process.
@@savageclown7171 Sorry, where did you say your degree is from?
The Colorado judge found him guilty, keep up!@@savageclown7171
I'm So Sick of Hearing His Name, And I can't believe he Not In Jail by Now 🤔 ⚖️ 💔
Wow it seems like Brian just hit 2 million he's already at 2.4! This is so great
Let's go Colorado, we can & must get this taken care of,, Don't be afraid of the sick,, oj,, 🇺🇸💙🕊️👊🇺🇸.
Because this issue is supremely consequential and it's entirely unprecedented, how could the highest court justifiably refuse it?
Well if their billionaire owners say not to, then they won't.
@@TeamDreamhunterExcept their gravy train stops the moment a dictator walks in the door. A dictator has no need for a Supreme Court.
@@TeamDreamhunterespecially Clarence and Sam!! Any justice who accepts "gifts" is owned, and we are already familiar with who Harlan Crow is.
They can agree with the lower courts decision.
