Trump is on the ballot, along with Democracy

[Brent Meeker]

The Supremes dodged their responsibility to enforce the Constitution and 
ban the Dump from holding any federal office.  Instead they say it is up 
to Congress of enforce the 14th Amendment Section 3. Presumably by 
disqualifying the Dump from office.  But Section 3 already assigns a 
role to Congress; they can remove the disqualification due to 
insurrection by 2/3 vote.  That clearly implies that it was NOT up to 
Congress to disqualify anyone.  It makes no sense that a 
disqualification could be removed by the body that just voted it into 
existence.


The Supremes are in the tank for the Dump.  The only way out now is to 
roundly defeat the Dump at the polls and counter and suppress the 
violent protests of MAGAts between Nov and...? Feb 2025?  He'll also be 
in courts during this period trying to get state Repug legislatures to 
invalidate the elections results that favor Joe and send their own 
electors.  This may be the end of the United States as we've known it.
