    You were saying something about the 14th removing Trump from ballots?
    Looks like your legal ruling forecast just go shot down. UNANIMOUSLY

    I don’t think forcing women and children to be incubators against their will would classify as “reigning in government power” but whatever.

    I also don’t understand why republicans long for the day where children can work in mines again and our lakes are catching on fire because of the zero regulation environment y’all are so desperate to return to.

    I'm actually a little surprised at the route they took with it: A one sentence explanation and a letter. I wanted them to so thoroughly dismantle the stupid argument, but I guess it was so stupid they felt it wasn't worth the effort.

    But state vs federal law made it clear that the federal law is superior. This was decided in Texas V United States, and upheld in every constitutional challenge since then.

    The SCOTUS has always sided with the federal government over the States.

    Not even your progressive judges wanted to touch that nonsense.

    Quick! Quick! In the name of democracy, PACK THE COURTS until we get the outcomes we want!

    The two terms is an actual amendment in the constitution(and it's not so much a disqualifier as it is an agreed upon limit.). Now Congress can always write/strike out an amendment if it wishes, but as of now he couldn't run because the rules state two terms.

    Here, the 14th is utterly a disqualifer and not at all part of the 'requirements' as stipulated to be POTUS. If it were a requirement, it wouldn't need Congressional recognition or a vote. And so, as a result that this power resides within Congress/DOJ, Trump is eligible to be POTUS.

    The left has to mobilize and campaign against him. Did it once in 2020, surely it can be done again right?

    lol no. See if Trump were to run for another 4 years, EVERY STATE constitutionally can remove his name from the ballot.

    It's not even remotely the same thing to what nonsense was happening here.

    There's no evidence that he didn't qualify. That's the point. Whether you look at the law, history, or judicial precedent, there was never any reason to believe he didn't qualify. It was an insurrection attempt by people who could not back up their opinions with anything relevant.

    Well the right understands the need for the hyper hyperbole you and your side must engage. Try to focus on the actual issue.

    Yes like the left argued the only reason Mueller did not indicte Trump was because a sitting President could not be charged so which is it?

    THAT was just settled. It's the immunity from prosecution for official acts that is before them.

    Tell me do you now believe a sitting President can be charged and prosecuted while in office?

    the supreme court didn't do that. what the supreme court did-and correctly I might add-was put this issue back where it belonged all along-at a state level.

    More specifically and accurately, States can only disqualify state office holders LMAO.So laughably, if it wants Colorado/Maine can bar Trump from holding any of their offices(not that he'd want to) but they have no effect on federal elections.

    I can see the dimwits who forced this upon us being that petty, but I don't mind it.

    As this ruling clearly states the States do not have the authority to qualify or disqualify candidates and nothing in the Constitution bans Trump from running. States merely decide how the choice between ALL candidates will be made and that does not require a vote of the people BTW.

    Insurrection against the United States is a federal crime and one for which Trump has never been charged let alone convicted in a court with the JURISDICTION to do so.

    That was why Mueller did not indict, he went by the DOJ memo

    then when Trump was impeached, the GOP said you could not impeach a President out of office

    then when Trump is tried by the courts, the right says can't do that either.... lol

    I think you're entirely disingenuous here. Democrats are the ones who would see illegal aliens become the newest slave class in the US. Democrats are the ones who would see young children have no other choice but to suffer in a lithium mine or cobalt mine in the DRC. Democrats continue to be the approving side for the continuation of the human trafficking and illicit minor child sex trade throughout the world Democrats continue to be the party who would forcibly take children from their homes and populate the state child custody markets.

    Y'all have some serious warts. And to think, republicans just want women to be responsible enough not to have children that their mothers can't afford or want.....

    Which item I listed do you not believe is factual?

    Do republicans want to roll back environmental regulations and let companies regulate themselves, yes or no?

    Are republicans relaxing labor laws for minors, yes or now?

    Are republican states trying to force young children to have their rapists child, yes or no?
