DENVER (AP) — The campaign to use the U.S. Constitution’s “insurrection” clause to bar former President Donald Trump from running for the White House again enters a new phase this week as hearings begin in two states on lawsuits that might end up reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.
A weeklong hearing on one lawsuit to bar Trump from the ballot in Colorado begins Monday, while on Thursday oral arguments are scheduled before the Minnesota Supreme Court on an effort to kick the Republican former president off the ballot in that state.
Why is this even a thing. If dude wasn’t a member of the 1% and laws applied as should be usual, he’d be in jail.
I understand the frustration in watching him waltz around unfazed after what he did, but we’ve never had to apply this law before. We need to get this right the first time. We can’t afford to fuck up applying this law, and not fucking it up takes time.
Because the worst things he did he isn’t even being charged for. Ignoring Covid, supporting the Zionists and murdering Iranians
Both the richest and poorest of people are equally prohibited from sleeping under a bridge.
A rich person could probably easily get a permit to do so and pay people to do anything needed for it

If that fails I suggest we also add any other previously tried criminal that we see as fit to be our president. In a country having hundreds of thousands of perfectly good Americans that don’t commit crimes, sure, let’s give criminals a venue to better adjusting their freedoms.

What is it with the millennial word-joining? Does the proper dash key just fucking not exist anymore? #noChildLeftBehind
What makes you think this is a millennial thing?
Also why the fuck does it matter?
So this comment made me curious, so I did a little looking, and according to the authors LinkedIn, he went to college in 1990, therefore he was most likely born around 1972, which means he wouldn’t be a millennial. So it looks like you’re correct, in this case at least, it’s not a millennial thing.
Shut up
Trump might be terrible, but angering and disenfranchising half a country sounds like a bad idea.
Pretending that we can go back to “the way it was” is a worse idea.
RepublicanAmerican Fascist politics is now “do whatever you want and dare the world to stop you.” Every time they’re not stopped, they gain more power, and they get the message that they can do whatever they want again, except next time, a little worse. Lather, rinse, repeat.We can’t go back the way we came. The only way out is through.
When wasn’t it like that? Nothing being done is new
Yeah, you don’t want to hurt a dangerous criminal’s feeling. At worst he only get to be the first US dictator.
First?
First that won’t leave by himself maybe.
