"Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now"

youtube.com/watch?v=aDbCiNMmorw

@markreckons in conversation with former attorney Richard Greene (the “Civics Dean”) explaining the #Trump #disqualification under #14thAmendmentSectionThree including a discussion of Trump v. Anderson and Congress’ role under the #ElectoralCountAct (as amended 2022).

My take-away from the interview: Thompson & Greene agree that it’s not going to happen: i.e., Trump will be inaugurated on #Jan20 , but #Democrats should act on their Constitutional duty and object to his Electoral votes on the grounds that the #PresidentElect is an adjudicated #insurrectionist

4 of Pres elect #Trump #Cabinet level #nominees have been accused of #sexual #harassment & #assault, one has faced allegations of #child #sextrafficking. Credible allegations of impropriety — let alone #allegations of #misconduct or #assault have often been cause for withdrawal or #disqualification. But Trump who has faced dozens of accusations of sexual misconduct dating back to 1970s has been known to surround himself with #men who have also faced similar allegations. notus.org/trump-transition/sen

#ICYMI In a 94-page opinion yesterday, a 4-1 majority #Pennsylvania #CourtDecision has ruled that counties cannot simply toss out any mail-in #ballots due to missing , hard to read or incorrect #handwritten dates on their outer return envelopes.

Enforcement of previous #RNC endorsed requirement violated the state constitution’s Free and #EqualElections Clause and resulted in the erroneously directed #disqualification of over 10,000 mail-in ballots statewide alone during the 2022 midterm elections.

The #DNC filed in support of the challenge that was originally brought by the #BlackPoliticalEmpowermentProject who also had a federal case claiming the law contravened a provision of the #CivilRightsAct but that case was stopped in the #ThirdCircuit. #RepublicanParty operatives vowed to take it to PA's #SupremeCourt within 72 hour limit to file a legal challenge.

From a layman's view of the 14th amendment, even if Trump wins the election, he still can't be president. The amendment doesn't mention being on the ballot, only holding the office.

If a party chooses to run a candidate that will not be able to assume the position if they win, that is on them. They wasted their efforts. If 99% of the voters write in the name of a 4-year-old, they would still not be seated as the President.

In the #Georgia #criminal #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #RICO case:

Wannabe unqualified USAG #JeffreyClark says in a new filing that #FaniWillis has a "half-dozen" conflicts of interest warranting her #disqualification.

Clark also alleges that #NathanWade "obviously lied" (eh hem, mr. attorney, you require strong corroborating proof to establish perjury not just an “obviously”) under oath.

#FultonCounty defendant David Shafer w/a new witness, CobbCounty co-chief dpy DA Cindi Lee Yeager, whom he says had convos w/ #TerrenceBradley between 8/23-1/24. Says she can corroborate that DA #FaniWillis & #NathanWade were in a relationship earlier than acknowledged.

Judge #McAfee has closed off new #evidence on the DA #disqualification question but Shafer is asking he consider this.

Says Yeager "became concerned" after watching Bradley's testimony in court last week.

#SCOTUS has now put the decision in the hands of people like #JimJordan, #MikeJohnson, #JimComer, #EliseStefanik, #MarjorieTaylorGreen, #MattGaetz, #LaurenBoebert, #AndyBiggs, #PaulGosar, #ScottPerry, #BarryLoudermilk, & others many of whom actively participated in #Trump’s #coup attempt & the #Jan6 #insurrection. Were they to enforce §3 of the #14thAmendment they would be disqualified for office themselves.
