Democrats waging war against Trump

Arizona and some states want to keep Trump off the ballot

And they are twisting the 14 Amendment to do it

With polls showing Donald Trump can defeat Joe Biden, a growing number of so-called “legal scholars” are pushing a fringe theory that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars Donald Trump from serving as President again.

Congress ratified the 14th Amendment after the Civil War, and Section 3 – which bans former Confederate officers from holding office again, reads:

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 Amendment never defines who determines what constitutes an insurrection or rebellion or how the ban gets enforced. January 6 was NOT an insurrection. And we already know what Trump said on that day and we know he even offered 10,000 National Guard troops that Pelosi and the Capitol Police turned down.

Not even Democrat prosecutors charged Trump with incitement or insurrection.
