Trump's attorneys missed a great Article 4, Section 4, argument - a guarantee of a State's Republican form of government. FE, if Trump is disqualified in Colorado he could lose the Presidency, which would be adverse to Texas, which voted overwhelmingly for Trump as President - hence denying it its republican form of government.

[@patriciamartinez-lx8dy]

This hearing by the Supreme Court was discouraging. I have more respect for Republican former federal judge Luttig for telling the American people the truth about the 14th amendment section 3. He should have been one of the attorneys questioning the Supreme Court.

[@kathleenmichelet6493]

I don't see the relevance to the 3 issue before the court.

[@kathleenmichelet6493]

​@@billyboy9436 the decision will define the Disqualification Clause and will effect all future limitations of section 3. Trump is just the test case.

[@JTH-hm8ew]

What a lot of people all over the internet cannot grasp is that the SCOTUS is not determining or affirming that an insurrection took place. The SCOTUS is determine whether Colorado followed Constirurional law or not which based on the hearing appears they did not. IMHO, the SCOTUS is going to use as the key ruling that Congress is empowered by section 5 of the 14th Amendment to enforce the provisions of the 14th Amendment. Until, Congress sets a mechanism for the rules of disqualification then states that disqualify Trump are acting unconstitutionally. Second due process is required for disqualification which would require a criminal conviction. The rest is up to Congress to decide how to implement the process.

[@bigal25938]

So when will the court decide? I predict they will decide 9-0 against Colorado.

Because I do believe that it would (aside from being polarizing) allow the American public to actually view what takes place with their own eyes. I do tend to believe that the media does not do its due diligence. Controversy sells, and they know that. I believe that although not all journalists are bad, the majority of them now forego all of the truth when reporting events such as this with Trump's case. They should not be swayed by personal beliefs. If he's guilty, then be fair and honest, and if he's innocent, then say so without any bias whatsoever.

I'm proud to say I listened to the whole arguments. Did a lot of rewinding to make sure I understood what was being said. The ruling will most definitely be 9-0 in favor of Donald Trump, and any justice who does otherwise will lose all credibility.

[@Troyphy]

@@doublewhopper67 The most important argument that all of the justices agreed upon is the language of the 14th amendment specifically where it says: one is disqualified from *"holding"* office for engaging in insurrection. The action being taken against Trump (taking his name off ballot) is election interference and it infringes his ability to run for office. He can still *run* for office even if he did engage in Insurrection- the amendment disqualifies him from *holding* office. He should be able to run for office, and if he gets elected, then CONGRESS, will have a vote to disqualify him from office.

And to say the person can be elected but then "pending approval" from congress is just stupid - what happens *when* 2/3rds of congress doesn't override the disqualification? Don't get me wrong, I think this should probably be reversed because it would be a dangerous precedent, but if this doesn't meet the requirements for disqualification then idk wtf would.

Griffin case (1869) is a case from the reconstruction era which held that the 14th amendment is not self executing meaning either congress would have to declare Trump ineligible or would have to delegate the job of deciding his eligibility to the courts by statute. Most would argue however that case should be ignored since it wad heard by a supreme court justice riding circuit and not the whole court and it has very flawed reasoning.

[@willettacartermolina3375]

Judge Alito was talking about the Big Man.

[@danielsilver6832]

The Constitution provides eligibility mandates for anyone who seeks to become President of the United States. To be eligible, one must be born or naturalized in the United States. One must be 35 years of age or older. No President is eligible to serve more than two consecutive presidential terms. Anyone who has any of these restrictions, no matter how popular, is ineligible to be President of the United States. That is not a political determination. That is the law. If any of those fail, the election official must reject the application to be on the ballot because those eligibility requirements disqualify the applicant and are self-executing. In other words, the election official need not seek a court’s determination. Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution provides a constitutional command that the states provide two individual electors to provide the list of all persons voted for in their state, the number of votes of each, that the list be signed and certified, and that list of certificates be transmitted sealed to Congress for the constitutionally mandated count. Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution then provides a constitutional command that “the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted.” That is what takes place on January 6. There is no dispute that this procedure is a constitutional mandate. Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment states that “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President or Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” Note that section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment does not talk about insurrection against the United States. It talks about insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution. If the events of January 6, 2021, do constitute insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution, then anyone engaged in those actions or anyone who gave those so engaged aid or comfort would be implicated in the terms of section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. A President of the United States takes an oath of office and becomes Commander in Chief of the armed forces, a military office, and Chief Executive. So, any person who held a governmental office, civil or military, who took an oath of office to support the Constitution of the United States, but later engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution or gave aid and comfort to those who did engage in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution, loses eligibility to ever again hold a public office. Former President Trump and a group of his supporters began during the election telling their public that if President Trump loses the election, the election is rigged, but if he wins, the election is not rigged. In other words, he actually told his supporters that the only way he could lose is if the election was stolen by voter fraud. During the election in November 2020, as the votes were coming in and it appeared he was falling further and further behind, Former President Trump began saying that he was actually winning by a landslide and that if the results showed otherwise, the election was stolen by voter fraud. When the votes of the American people were counted and all the votes were in, the results were that Former President Trump lost the election by a significant amount. According to the Pew Research Center, Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump 306-232 in the Electoral College and had a 4-point margin in the popular vote. From that moment on, Former President Trump continued to preach to his supporters that the election was stolen by voter fraud. He and his vocal supporters also alleged they had irrefutable proof that the election was stolen by voter fraud. The process of transition of power from one president to the next in our nation is that on January 6, our Congress meets, the votes of the electoral college are counted, and the new president is announced based on those votes. That process is officiated by the Vice President of the United States, who also acts as the Senate President. Former President Donald Trump claims millions of illegal votes cost him the 2020 election. From November 2020 until January 6, Former President Trump filed 64 election challenges in courts of law throughout the country. In Pennsylvania, attorneys were able to convince the court to throw out 270 provisional ballots lacking proper signatures, an insignificant result. Former President Trump’s lawsuits included the big lie claims of voter fraud, illegal polling procedures, and errors with ballots and voting machines. Former President Trump’s attorneys were unable to provide any evidence in any court of law to evidence the big lie allegations. His followers naturally believed the big lie because they simply could not conceive of someone with such power outright lying to them. The way it works, the votes are counted in every state. Those are the popular votes. Whoever wins the popular votes is assigned a group of electors as a part of what we call the Electoral College. The number of electors each state is permitted is based on population counts in the census taken every ten years. So, thousands of supporters of former President Trump were compelled by lies to believe the 2020 election was stolen and that it was their patriotic duty to rise up as a group, to come to the Capitol on January 6, and to be prepared to storm the Capitol in order to prevent the transition of power from President Trump to President Biden. January 6, 2021 was the date on which all of Congress met to officially and ceremoniously count the electoral college votes and to usher in the transition of power from one president to the next. Former President Trump and his supporters had it in their minds that if that January 6 event was prevented, the ensuing chaos would provide an opportunity to prevent that constitutional process and leave him in power as President. According to the congressional committee investigating what happened on January 6, 2021, the four significant Title 18 federal crimes stemming from what happened on January 6 are Obstruction of an Official Proceeding, Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Conspiracy to Make a False Statement to the Federal Government; and inciting an insurrection, assisting in an insurrection, and aiding and abetting an insurrection. It’s a federal crime to “corruptly” obstruct, influence or impede any official government proceeding, or attempt to do so. 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c). The Joint Session of Congress to count electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, was an official government proceeding. It’s a federal crime for two or more people to coordinate to defraud the United States, if at least one of the people does some act to carry out the conspiracy. 18 U.S.C. § 371. It is a federal crime to incite an insurrection, assist in an insurrection, and aid and abet an insurrection. 18 U.S.C. § 2383. Former President Trump commanded Former Vice-President Pence to not certify the electoral college votes but to instead permit a group of self-appointed fake electors into the Capitol to challenge the electoral votes and to stop the transition of power. Former Vice-President Pence refused to do so. Note that some came prepared with an actual gallows with a noose designed to hang those the mob might drag from the Capitol. During the attack on the capitol, former President Trump tweeted that then Vice-President Pence is a traitor for not breaking the law on Trump’s instructions. Immediately after that tweet, the folks in the crowd rallied behind that idea that Vice President Pence is a traitor and they should hang Vice President Pence. At no time during that four hours, and despite numerous ongoing pleas from those in all offices of power, former President Trump took no action to stop the attacks. Participants in the January 6 attacks have been found guilty of felonies that include assaults on federal officers, obstructing law enforcement, and seditious conspiracy.

A lot of "subjective" opinions and not a lot of "objective" facts as it concerns what Trump did on January 6th or prior. Especially as we now KNOW the election was rigged, and onion voting machines can be manipulated as shown in front of a Judge in Georgia case. Do states rely on "subjective" opinion to set ballots? If so, what is to keep each state from removing Biden from ballets from "subjective" opinions?

[@tomb613]

Well said. These "conservative " judges hate the freedoms we enjoy in the United States and are working towards turning this country into a theocracy. They are complicit along with the rest of the Republican establishment in conspiring with Trump, who in turn conspired with Putin. The evidence is everywhere. Former Special Agent in Charge of the New York FBI Counterintelligence Division Pleads Guilty to Conspiring to Violate U.S. Sanctions on Russia. Agent Charles McGonigal plead guilty for conspiring with Oleg Deripaska. Oleg Deripaska hired Paul Mannafort for numerous jobs over the years. Paul Mannafort was Trump's campaign manager, he worked for free too! Mannafort plead guilty to giving polling data to Oleg Deripaska.
