And it would be of huge benefit to the Republican party for Trump to be
disqualified. As it is, he's going to pull down some Congressional
Repugs with him, just like he did in 2020. The polls say Haley and
DeSantis would both do better against Biden than does Trump.

The states of Colorado in Maine want to remove Trump from the
presidential ballot because of Section 3 of the 14th amendment which
says:
"/*No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or
elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or
military, under the United States*, or under any State, *who*, having
previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of
the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an
executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the
Constitution of the United States, *shall have engaged in insurrection
or rebellion *against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies
thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House,
remove such disability./"
The case now goes to the Supreme Court, I know that Trump supporters
want the court to keep Trump on the ballot,but*if it's OK to just
ignore the 14th amendment, why isn't it also OK to just ignore the
second amendment and confiscate all your guns?* But the court has
never been very good at self consistency, and given the makeup of the
court at this time I would be astonished if it didn't rule in Trump's
favor; hell the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas was part of the mob
that attacked the capital on January 6as they were in the middle
of counting the electoral votesto determine the next president. That
is a clear-cut conflict of interest so if Thomas had any ethics he'd
recusehimself from votingon this question, but I don't think there's a
snowball's chance in hell of him behaving ethically.
