Eh. Read the entirety of the 14th Amendment. The whole thing. |

| No brainer decision. I called it as 9-0 repeatedly, happy to be proven right. |

Presumably a state would not be able to disqualify an insurrectionist VP, as well?

On the ballot, you mean? Correct. For a state elected position? They would be able to disqualify them. |

The SCOTUS is not going to let a traffic court judge remove a presidential candidate from the ballot. |

Please explain to us how the office of the president is directing any of this. Please provide facts, not feelings. |

+100 Same here. |

Of course, they said responsibility "rests with Congress and not the states." So what did the Senate say? "We have no power to convict and disqualify a former officeholder who is now a private citizen." |

Not just this case..... all the phony cases that have been brought against Trump. I'll start with the GA one. Interesting that the deputy DA in Fulton Co, Jeff DiSantis, reportedly worked with the Biden campaign. And, then the numerous visits of Nathan Wade to the WH..... |

A repudiation of those on the left calling SCOTUS "delegitimate." |

So, can a state disqualify a candidate for Senate or House in that state? I am not surprised here but decision makes no sense. |

The Senate refused to convict him based on the fact that impeachment power is moot after the president is out of office. So I guess there is a huge loophole that makes failed coups unpunishable. |

The Senate was talking about something else. Anyway, the text of the Fourteenth Amendment says "But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." The Senate cannot re-qualify Trump on their own regardless. Trump remains disqualified under the Amendment. |

Yes, a state can disqualify a candidate for a state election. |

What happened to States Rights that they harped on in their confirmation hearings not to mention giving the individual states the right to ban abortions. May these Nine quivering Quisling-Laval doppelgangers meet the same end as the originals! |
