January 6th Should Be "Disqualification Day" For Adjudicated Insurrectionist Trump. But Will It Be? - Glenn Kirschner



A new piece published in The Hill contends, " Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now."

But how realistic is it to expect the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause to make a robust showing during the January 6th certification of the Electoral College votes? - Glenn Kirschner - 01/02/2025.

4 years from the day he tried to overturn a free and fair election in an insurrection that he incited.

Colonial Americans might be saying "Sweet Jesus!"

I AGREE WITH GLENN. TRUMP SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED BY THE RULES OF THE CONSTITUTION. WHAT AND WHO DECIDED THAT THE CONSTITUTION WAS 'NULL AND VOID' WHERE TRUMP IS CONCERNED ? WE HAVE STOOD BY IT THIS LONG...WHY DOES THIS PATHETIC LOSER HAVE RIGHTS THAT EVERY OTHER AMERICAN DOESN'T ? WHEN DID WE STOP HOLDING CRIMINALS ACCOUNTABLE. HE IS NOT A KING ...NOR IS HE A RESPECTABLE, HONEST, DECENT, MORAL, HONORABLE HUMAN BEING. HE IS A TRAITOR WHO HONORS RUSSIA. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY ...THAT WE OVERLOOK EVERY SINGLE CRIME HE COMMITS, DISHONORS OUR TRADITIONS, AND IS NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR BREAKING LAWS. ?
