A LONG shot….
But?
Another headache to add to Donald Trump & Co.’s effort to return to the American Presidency
Amendment XIV
Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and 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. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability….

Two civil rights organizations are launching a campaign to pressure state governments to disqualify former President Trump from appearing on ballots in 2024.
The groups say secretaries of state are empowered by the 14th Amendment to bar Trump from running for office because of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
Starting Sunday, Mi Familia Vota and Free Speech for People will stage a week of rallies and banner drops outside the offices of the secretaries of state of California, Oregon, Colorado and Georgia.
The groups also penned a letter to Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar last month, calling on him to block Trump under what’s known as the Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause.
“We’re really focusing on Nevada and California and [Oregon, Colorado and Georgia] to make sure that they are taking a stand by disqualifying Trump in those spaces, which is something that the secretary of state can do,” said Héctor Sánchez, executive director of Mi Familia Vota.
The groups are calling their campaign “Trump is Disqualified,” and are timing it to coincide with the 155th anniversary of the 14th Amendment….
Well,of course,this won’t happen,but,yes, it should.
Trump is a domestic terrorist who hates the Constitution of the United States, who hates democratic institutions ,and is a liar,cheat and thief.
He is also the Leader of the Republican Party.
I think you may find that Jack Smith has other plans here Jack.
He appears to be aggressively looking into the planning that went into the January 6th attempt to overthrow our duly elected government by Donald Trump and his Republican conspirators.
You remember January 6th the date that our host continues to claim is in the rearview mirror.
January 6th was the culmination for the planning efforts to overturn a legitimate election. This was clearly a conspiracy. The charges will either involve efforts to defraud the government or seditious conspiracy (a charge I believe that has already been successful for an 18 year sentence). But there are lots of potential indictees here, including Donald Trump.
