"1866 Colloquy on Phrasing of the 14th Amendment" - hahhhaahaha.

mochicrunch_ comments on Louisiana woman files suit to remove Trump from Louisiana ballot

Regardless, if this is being filed in Louisiana, and we are already writing out that it’s not gonna happen, the fact that it’s starting to have a domino effect that lawsuits are happening across the country because of this tells you that the Supreme Court is going to have to get involved and they’re gonna have to ultimately decide before the election.

A question that has never been answered - either Trump is disqualified nationally, they allow states to individually determine that for themselves, they try and set a definition for what insurrection means, or they say Congress has to make the determination because they don’t want to touch this with a 10 foot pole.

I'd argue it was answered in 1866.

1866 Colloquy on Phrasing of the 14th Amendment

Senator Reverdy Johnson worried that the final version of Section Three did not include the office of the Presidency.

He stated, “[T]his amendment does not go far enough” because past rebels “may be elected President or Vice President of the United States.”

So he asked, “why do you omit to exclude them? I do not understand them to be excluded from the privilege of holding the two highest offices in the gift of the nation.”

Senator Lot Merrill fielded this objection. He replied, “Let me call the Senator’s attention to the words ‘or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States.’”

This answer satisfied Senator Johnson, who stated, “Perhaps I am wrong to the exclusion from the Presidency; no doubt I am.”

Louisiana woman files suit to remove Trump from Louisiana ballot : politics

Removed in Colorado and Maine. Looking to be removed in Vermont, New York and now Louisiana. If he's actually removed Trump will have lost in 10% of States before the first ballot is even cast.

universal healthcare, and student loan forgiveness

Sorry, we can't afford any of those because we need the money to pay reparations to survivors of the Gaza Genocide
