It’s a trick.
In a blink former President Trump accurately labeled the move to keep him off the ballot by using the 14th Amendment. Newsmax reports:
“Former President Donald Trump is accusing states that are trying to use the 14th Amendment to disqualify him from the 2024 ballot of staging a ‘trick’ to steal the election from him and give it to President Joe Biden.
‘Almost all legal scholars have voiced opinions that the 14th Amendment has no legal basis or standing relative to the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election,”’ Trump posted on his Truth Social page Monday night, reports The Washington Examiner.
‘Like Election Interference, it is just another ‘trick’ being used by the Radical Left Communists, Marxists, and Fascists, to again steal an Election that their candidate, the WORST, MOST INCOMPETENT, & MOST CORRUPT President in U.S. history, is incapable of winning in a Free and Fair Election,’ he added.”
…Adam Kamenstein, a former federal prosecutor and now a partner with the Los Angeles-based law firm Adams, Duerk & Kamenstein, told Newsweek the 14th Amendment argument is “‘compelling’ but ‘unlikely to gain broad acceptance.’
‘Like all legal arguments, its practical application rests on the common acceptance of certain facts,’ he said. ‘We don’t have that here, today, where facts and truth vary depending on one’s political point of view. Even if everyone agreed on the underlying constitutional scholarship, we would never see agreement on the facts to which it must be applied.’”
It is amazing to see the lengths the American Left and a corrupt political establishment will go to prevent Trump from being elected president a second time. The first time it was the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, then not one but two impeachments. Now comes the use of the 14th amendment to literally try and keep him off the ballot.
One could say shameful – except there is no shame on the part of Trump-haters.
