In 2024, it’s wrong to enforce constitutional provisions with undemocratic results, like the Disqualification Clause. But in 2016, it was right to enforce constitutional provisions withantidemocratic results, like the Electoral College.
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution, as both Colorado’s Supreme Court and Maine’s secretary of state have correctly decided, is clear in its language: Anyone who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the U.S., after taking an oath of office, is forbidden from running again.
The Left is focusing exclusively on Section 3 of the 14th amendment, while pretending that Section 5 doesn’t exist. That’s because Section 5 not only “vests Congress with the authority to adopt ‘appropriate’ legislation”, but requires it to do so. And Congress has complied, by making insurrection a Federal crime.
The only problem for the Left is that nobody has charged Donald Trump with that Federal crime. In particular, not Jack Smith or the clown-nosed Valley Girl from Maine.
True. Does the state constitution say this woman can do this? Did Colorado’s state constitution say the Supreme Court say they can do this? Everyone has been talking about section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Here is section 1, “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”.
So no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States without due process of law. Sorry, last I checked a state supreme court is still part of the state.
Dr. Payne’s Augusta TDS sanitarium regretfully cannot accept anymore inmates due to reaching capacity but a waiting list has been established. See you soon.
How would history be different if Germany had banned Hitler from running in the 1933 national election because of his 1934 Beer Hall Putsch in 1923? Maybe we can prevent a repeat of history by banning Trump for his 2021 Capitol Putsch.
If constitutionally ineligible people should be on the ballot, let’s put Obama, Schwarzenegger & whichever youngster is on top of the Billboard Charts on the ballot.
I will vote for who I want even if I have to write it in. Where does any state get the right to remove anyone from a party primary ballot? The general election, maybe but a primary? Each political party should be responsible for its own slate of candidates on their party’s ballot not the state.

Payne can’t make up his mind. “Should I believe in state’s rights and ban abortion” or the Constitution and its amendments and ban Trump?"
