Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Amendment 14, Section 3

The 14th Sec 3 also lists “rebellion” as cause. Is that a statute? Or a description of action(s)? I don’t know, that’s an honest question. If the latter…. then he’s not gonna be on the ballot.

Regardless, this one is heating up, as predicted, and will be tested in the courts. I’m guessing- could be wrong- that there’s precedent for this being used in cases where the person(s) it was used against were never convicted of insurrection.

SCOTUS will be the decider. As I already said, that could actually work to Trumps advantage beyond just the question of whether he can Constitutionally be allowed on ballots because it might amount to a finding of whether fücknut did or did not engage in insurrection/rebellion which in turn could effect Smith’s case. Or not. As I said earlier SCOTUS are masters of very carefully narrowing the scope of their decisions.

But know this. Trump is, at the end of the day, a bullshitter. Courts are pretty much designed to cut through bullshit. Judges are human beings wired to despise bullshit. I don’t think SCOTUS is gonna go out of their way to rescue one Donald J. Trump from the consequences of his bullshit. Could be wrong. We’ll see. Soon!
