The 14th amendment was never intended to be interpreted or used in that manner, and the SCOTUS will overturn the Colorado ruling, which will derail all the similar cases working their way through the courts and other states.
I’m not a Trump guy, but the argument that being disqualified from being president isn’t a punishment and therefore doesn’t need the protection of due process is insane.
The idea that due process isn’t required because it isn’t in the 14th amendment is insane. The context of the entire document is in play. Rights cannot be suspended without due process.
The idea that running for office isn’t a right is insane. It means that you are disenfranchised from fully participating in the country polis.
Fuck neo-cons and liberals both. You are destroying my country with your child-like understanding of natural rights and the constitution. Fuck you. 🖕

We will see. I hope whatever happens, that we can hold our heads up afterwards.
