Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Keep setting em up, I'll keep knocking em down sookie. And when you want to use historical racist arguments to omit people from their civil rights, i'll call that out too.
and mimic historically racist arguments to omit people from their civil rights?
nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

You cannot deny Trump DUE PROCESS and say he is guilty of insurrection as an excuse to him keep off any ballot.
Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
For the umpteenth time, his liberty to run for the office.
what state has that power Sookie?
For the umpteenth time squared....
Holding the office of President of the United States is a privilege. It's not a liberty/civil right.
If The People, through their states, can't keep their states' electoral votes safe from insurrectionists, who can? The DOJ, that's part of the Executive Branch and led by a political appointee? Congress?
Don't worry tho. I have no doubt that SCOTUS will totally wimp out on their duty and kick this case down to the road.
He was being disqualified from R U N N I N G, thus the purpose of removing him from the ballot.
Yet, there exists a statute for insurrection, adopted by congress.
It's hilarious that you want this to be a states rights thing. I mean we are talking about a federal election here.
That's what the Reublican voters asked for, since they're Republicans and didn't want insurrectionist Trump on their primary ballot, seeing as he incited an insurrection and all.
Yet, there is no law that states that one has to be criminally convicted to be ineligible for office. Trump was impeached for inciting an insurrection, and his eligibility was the question in the civil court cases in Colorado, Maine and Illinois. In each of those states Donald Trump had the right to defend himself, confront his accusers and make his case before the court, which he did, through his lawyers. (Due Process)
And yet here we are, not just me, but 3 States, with their district courts rulings, all the way up to their supreme courts rulings, all wanting to make this a states' rights issue.
: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government
: opposition to one in authority or dominance
2 a : open, armed, and usually unsuccessful defiance of or resistance to an established government
b : an instance of such defiance or resistance
