"revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by section three of the 14th amendment".
They want to invent a new amendment modifying the previous amendment because the supreme court didn't decide in their favor? So now they have to rewrite the rules?
Nonsense.
The Supreme Court said today that Congress CAN declare an individual disqualified for the Presidency for being an insurrectionist. In fact, they seem to have said that ONLY Congress can do that. Back in January of 2021 the House brought forth an article of impeachment against Trump for Insurrection. Both the House and the Senate agreed with that article of impeachment by simple majority vote, although the Senate failed to get the 2/3 necessary to remove Trump from office.
By ruling the way they did today, the Supreme Court made the decision to declare a Presidential candidate an insurrectionist an entirely political decision. Personally I think that was wrong and short sighted. I think it would have been much better for them to have prescribed the criteria an individual would have to meet to be declared an insurrectionist and a judicial process for applying those criteria. For example, does a finding of insurrection have to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt or just by a preponderance of evidence? The situation they have created now seems to be that any Congress could declare any sitting President an insurrectionist at any time and for any reason--or no reason at all--as long as they can get enough votes.

This is why we are hearing Civil War whispered about. They are weighing their options and they know what the outcome might lead to.
Anyone look at the size of the rallies Trump can have? Others see a standing army, they are terrified of the following he has.

You just know Democrat leaders are secretly pondering a 'permanent' solution to Trump.
Make of this what you will...but we all know they'll try to remove Trump by any means necessary.
Dems are lying if they say they haven't seriously thought about it.

Isn’t it obvious what they’re thinking? They want Nikki to win. She works for the donors!
She proudly called herself a 'globalist'.
That's what they want.
Putting everyone of the world first, not America.
She is 'their' choice.
And they are going to try to make it happen.
Nikki Won her first primary last night. Washington, D.C.. Are the people of Washington in favor of the "Globalism" over the USA?

Disqualification from Public Office Under the 14th Amendment
Is disqualification different than impeachment?
Yes. Someone who is impeached could be disqualified from holding public office in the future if they are convicted, and Congress applies such a punishment. But this is separate from disqualification under the 14th Amendment. Under Sections 3 and 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, Congress can bar someone from holding office. But unlike an impeachment conviction, that decision could be overturned by the courts. Most importantly, disqualification under the 14th Amendment does not require the two-thirds vote needed to convict during an impeachment trial. However, two-thirds of both houses must agree to remove the "disability," once imposed.

But a spokesperson for Speaker Johnson told Fox News Digital on Monday night that his Democrat colleagues should “get a grip.”
SUPREME COURT RULES UNANIMOUSLY FOR TRUMP IN COLORADO BALLOT DISQUALIFICATION DISPUTE
“Democrats need to get a grip. In this country, the American people decide the next president—not the courts and not the Congress,” the spokesperson said.

i asked this question and my thoughts on this in the thread i made this morning.
got a link that says raskin and house democrats are the ones that can stop trump?
one reason is congress is both the house and senate. the other i would think in the senate seeing how it's a presidential / election issue i would think it would take 2/3 vote like a impeachment vote would and they didn't have 2/3 in the senate for the insurrection impeachment. it was 57 for to 43 against.

Yes. That's why D.C. is the only place she has won, and that includes her home state.
The District of Columbia is where the globalist are. It's like their mecca.
Since Congress writes laws, let a joint House/Senate committee write legislation on how to remove a Presidential candidate.
