[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am as anti trump as they come.  I think the SC should reinstate Trump on the ballot.

I know that he formented an insurrection against the US.  We all saw it.  But I think before we can invoke the constitutional escape hatch, he must be convincted of this crime.

Let’s beat him at the ballot box.  [/quote]
If the 14th amendment doesn’t cite criminal conviction as a prerequisite for precluding someone from holding office, why do you think conviction is a must?[/quote]

I agree there is no direction in the 14th amendment as to how one should determine if someone has formented an insurrection.   I do think something with objective criteria should be put in place so we have a standard across states.  If not through the leg branch (preferred), through the judicial branch as is happening now.  I just happen to think the SC should choose a high standard in their creation of the criteria.  A conviction on related charges would be what I would choose.

My prediction - there will not be a decision on whether there was an "insurrection" by SCOTUS.  There has been no TRIAL for insurrection.  
It will be determined on the basis of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment - that the president is not included in this.  
And, it would not surprise me if the decision is 9-0.[/quote]
Wut? The president isn’t included …. In what now? [/quote]

Yes, Trump is above the law like all rich folks.[/quote]
