The J6 insurrection is the lowest hanging fruit with the best video clips, but I wish people wouldn't make it the single disqualifier. It's really a sidebar to a much bigger story: unambiguous, from the horses mouth evidence that Donald Trump actively plotted and strategized overturning the election, interferring, manipulating and threatening various branches of government to lie and decieve the American public in an attempt to hold office like a third world dictator. Most of it was done within the confines of the electoral system, so an electoral-based punishment makes perfect sense. If you're a Supreme Court judge, the act of threatening various Secretaries of State to find you votes by any means necessary is a much clearer and actionable charge than parsing responsibility for a public riot. 

 

If January 6 had never happened, the case against Trump remains huge and unprecedented. 

This is super true.  I guess J6 is the most interesting or best ratings grab but clearly there is more and more and more that could be talked about and basically disqualify him.  

 

The bolded part, one would think, would be all it should take to make him not eligible to run

It rarely generates the headlines, but the election of local judges probably affects our lives more than most other votes. DA, too. 

I’ve said this same thing multiple times on the board too.  Local elections affect daily lives much more than national elections

I don't need judges doing what they did. In Colorado we can vote to retain or not to retain judges. I have the names of 4 judges that, if given the opportunity, I will not vote to retain them. I have the names of 3 judges that I will vote to retain. All 7 are democrat appointed. 

So, you want to vote out judges that upheld the constitution. Interesting.

What did the 4 judges do that you think they shouldn’t have? They didn’t create the lawsuit that came before them. Do you think the argument that Trump engaged in insurrection isn’t strong enough for the decision they made?

So this guy is going to vote out judges who upheld the 14th Amendment, but claims they won't vote for Orange Man Bad again.

Disqualified.

I say we just take the 2 apparent candidates and have them take a cognitive test and whoever scores the highest can be president.  That is as long as they score higher than a stump.

How dare those judges... <checks notes> uphold the Constitution.

I would accept amnesty if he has to live in North Korea for the rest of his life.

This is sooooo true!

 

Gun lovers can recite every letter of 2A,, they obsess over it and it consumes them but for the most part it seems like we focus on two or three amendments and that is about it.  

 

Use the 14th.
