    Section 3 of the 14th amendment. It’s in the constitution. This Isn’t just random fuckery, he incited a violent mob to try to overthrow the government, therefore he is ineligible for office. Because no shit, but ALSO because it’s written into the rules of the country.

      Read section 3 for me please. Tell me where it says the states can take it upon themselves to decide to absolve. It does say insurrectionists would be inelligible for office but its not up to the state to decide that.

      But either way, shouldnt he be charged with insurrection before you make decisions like these? Literally proving his point that they will try any way to get him off the ballot, legal or not. I wonder why other states like Minnesota and Michigan refused to take him off the ballot…

        Again, the Colorado court ruled that section 3 is self-executing. That’s a thing, whether you like it or not. I suggest you Google the term.

          Explain how someone can be labeled as “traitor of the union” in only certain states. Explain how only 1 state in the union can come to a conclusion that a person falls under self execution of a certain statute within the constitution.
