Groups seek to use the Constitution's insurrection clause to block Trump from 2024 ballots
Liberal groups are trying to end Donald Trump's attempt to return to the White House by arguing he's ineligible to be president after trying to overturn the 2020 election.
You're viewing a single thread.
Title of the article now reads:
Liberal groups seek to use the Constitution’s insurrection clause to block Trump from 2024 ballots
And the first paragraph:
As former President Donald Trump dominates the Republican presidential primary, some liberal groups and legal experts contend that a rarely used clause of the Constitution prevents him from being president after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
My bold in both cases.
This annoys me. The paper The Sweep and Force of Section Three is what really started all this, and it was written by two members of the Federalist Society. The concept is strongly supported by J. Michael Luttig, a very conservative former federal judge. Why is Associated Press painting this like it's a course of action only supported by liberal minds?
To be fair, “liberal” was in the title when I posted the article, but I, like you, thought that was misleading, so I left it off.
