Desperate Democrats have initiated a new strategy to “protect democracy” following the unanimous decision by the Supreme Court in favor of President Donald Trump, which halted attempts to exclude him from the 2024 ballots.
According to Slay News, all nine justices on the SCOTUS ruled that Democrats cannot manipulate the election by utilizing the “insurrection” clause of the 14th Amendment to eliminate Trump’s name from state ballots. In response to the verdict, Democrats have started to consider alternative tactics to prevent voters from selecting Trump over Joe Biden.
Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) mentioned that he is currently drafting a bill that would establish a process to disqualify candidates.
Raskin expressed his satisfaction that the Supreme Court did not dispute the Colorado court’s determination that Trump was involved in an “insurrection.”
Instead, the Supreme Court opposed Colorado’s argument, asserting that it is Congress, not the states, that holds the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against federal officials and candidates.
“[T]he Supreme Court punted and said, it’s up to Congress,” Raskin said on CNN.
The decision maintained the possibility for states to implement Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against their own officials and candidates.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW), the progressive organization that initiated the legal action against Trump in Colorado, has already been initiating legal proceedings to achieve this. Regarding federal officials, it concluded that the responsibility for enforcement lies with Congress.
“I am working with a number of my colleagues, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swalwell to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed Insurrection is disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” Raskin said Monday.
Democrat Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) also informed Politico on Monday that, upon initial review, it does not seem that the Court has indicated a feasible way to implement Section 3 of the 14th Amendment without the enactment of a law detailing the necessary procedures.
Prior to the decision, certain senior Democrats hinted in statements to The Atlantic that they would not validate a Trump win on Jan. 6, 2025, if the Supreme Court did not offer clear guidance on whether he had engaged in an “insurrection.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday established limits on how Congress can enforce Section 3, stipulating that it must be enforced through legislation that demonstrates “congruence and proportionality” to the behavior in question. Derek Muller, a professor of law at Notre Dame and an expert in election law, cautions that the possibility of rejecting certification still exists.
Give it a rest, the world is sick to the back teeth with you creating crimes against DT to fit your evil narrative, it’s gone on long enough.
You make yourselves look more and more stupid by the day.
WHY are sincere Americans treating anti-American Communist Infiltrators like EQUALS? Isn’t their destruction agenda obvious? Can’t everyone see their intent? Marxists are using our system against us! Why do we tolerate them? Why do we try to compromise with them? Every time…we LOSE! We catch them in crimes (secretly flying illegals), and we
DO EXACTLY NOTHING!
We no longer have Democrats in our government. They’re INVADERS working to destroy America from the inside!
SCOTUS needs to “take the bull by the horns” and do something before this “evil” rents this country into shreds.
It’s not SCOTUS’s normal modus operandi to initiate a definitive rule but without clarification on how the 99.5% of peaceful meanterings (cops waving in the masses) can be called insurection while the fires, looting, and wonton destruction of the “peaceful protests” the months before isn’t ….
scotus MUST ACT FAST & DECISIVE (9-0 order without dissenting opinions)
If Trump wins they want to bar him from taking up the Presidency.
How will that work out?
