House Democrats are reintroducing a bill aimed at preventing Trump from being included on the ballot, following the US Supreme Court’s unanimous decision to allow Trump’s placement on the Colorado ballot.
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Trump can remain on the Colorado primary 2024 ballot, stating that states do not have the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against Presidential candidates.
“This case raises the question whether the States, in addition to Congress, may also enforce Section 3. We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency,” The Supreme Court said according to the ruling reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
“For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand,” the high court’s ruling said.
The Supreme Court said in its ruling that only Congress has the power to block a candidate from a presidential ballot.
“The text of Section 3 reinforces these conclusions. Its final sentence empowers Congress to “remove” any Section 3 “disability” by a two-thirds vote of each house. The text imposes no limits on that power, and Congress may exercise it any time, as the respondents concede,” the ruling read.
“Instead, it is Congress that has long given effect to Section 3 with respect to would-be or existing federal officeholders. Shortly after ratification of the Amendment, Congress enacted the Enforcement Act of 1870. That Act authorized federal district attorneys to bring civil actions in federal court to remove anyone holding nonlegislative office—federal or state—in violation of Section 3, and made holding or attempting to hold office in violation of Section 3 a federal crime,” the high court’s ruling read.
Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin promptly spoke to CNN, revealing that he is collaborating with several colleagues, including Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell, to reintroduce a bill that would remove Trump from the presidential ballot.
The proposal is rooted in legal interpretations of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which allows for disqualification of public officials who have participated in insurrection or rebellion against the country.
It’s important to note that Trump has not been formally accused of engaging in “insurrection” or rebellion against the United States.

ICYMI: Ear-Piercing Noise Blares Through DC Prison Torturing Sleep Deprived J6 Prisoners
They are begging for a civil war. They know Trump is about to be their president again. Threepeat!!!
AMEN!!!!!!…. EXACTY RIGHT!!!!!
I wonder when the country will declare open season on fools like this one.
Theirs a very short list of people I truly dislike and that Raskin guy is one of them. He’s a corrupt rat one of the worst democrats in a congress of an entire lot of absolute communist trash Dems. I pray that they don’t get away with their multiple scams that violates our Constitution with trick language and take the election away from President Trump AGAIN, I have a gut instinct that they will cause chaos in our country, it’s exactly what they want and what anyone on the right doesn’t want but there are those
On both sides who are fed up with the absolute nonsense these progressive democrats have been pushing on the American people.
Raskin should focus on paying his taxes ( the wife forgot about a $1m or so in income). Jamie also made a bundle selling books about his son’s suicide, an act Jamie was too busy to see happening on his watch.
Wouldn’t it be a terrible shame if Raskin did the same thing!
These democrats learn well from their children and grandchildren – how to act like a spoiled, little brat – as I’m sure democrat children probably are…
It is unlikely such legislation would pass. And if it did pass, it would likely be declared unconstitutional.
Boo Hoo Hoo! These whiny Democrat commies are never happy and they fear Trump because he’s exposing the crime and graft in the DC swamp. Maybe they should try doing something for the American people instead of demeaning, denigrating, and lying about the other side.
Their time is running out to complete their change of the USA to Marxism. Bejieng, Moscow, and North Korea are going to attack soon if the DNC doesn’t do the job the Marxists gave them
The biggest threat to democracy is what you’re reading!!! Demonrats are so afraid of this man they will do Anything in their power to take him off the ballot!!!! I do believe over 75 million Americans voted for president Trump last election!!! So the demonrats are trying to silence 75 million voters which is the biggest threat to our democracy!!!!!
Cant deal with Reality
Judges 9-0 Keep on ballott
USSC wont by language Raskin
U Lose
Jamie Raskin is a sorry excuse for a human being but we don’t expect much from Democrat politicians.
So they will retaliate against the Supreme Court? Well will they also be charged with insurection when they do?
Interesting.
Oh no, Democrats are so peaceful. b.s. They have done everything they can to destroy Donald Trump. Democrats and left radicals can’t tolerate if someone doesn’t believe as them. They don’t live in the real word. They just won’t to dominate and be in power of every aspect of our life. Bet thing they can do is crawl in a big hole and stay there.
FUCK THE BRAIN DEAD LIBRATURD COMMIE BASTARDS
J. Ratskin; A deserved name, and Eric Swallowed well, should have the living Shit Beat out of them.
The Supreme Court did exactly what the constitution means and that Anti-American Fugly RATSKIN is doing what Chuck (Moron) Schumer did when he threatened the Supreme Court decision on Wade..
And not one Damn thing was done about it.!
Those Communist Bastards believe We The People work for them not the other way around and want Americans to get on our knees and pray to them as if their GODS..
You Communist Bastards will get what’s coming when you’re voted out Americans will come after you.!!
Millions of Americans are not like the Spineless, yellow back Republicans who’s let you Son of a bitches off for violating the Constitution.
Law’s for Thee but not for me is soon coming to an end.
Commie Raskin needs to be thrown out of Congress for stupidity and being terrified of Trump! He has a backbone like a jellyfish!
This coming from the fools and liars trying to say Trump will destroy democracy. Swallwell should have been thrown out of congress faster than a speeding Santos for his treasonous behavior with FangFang and Raskin is a joke of a human being, let alone a member of Congress. Sadly there is a large group of people who are stupid enough to accept without question or analysis this tripe about Trump being an insurrectionist.
NEW SCOTUS RULE!
All Government staged trials, agency edicts, State laws, state agency edicts and even a Governor’s own edict that have a direct bearing on the US Constitution or that violate existing US laws MUST pass a SCOTUS review and approval BEFORE trial or implementation begins. If found in violation, removal from office, prison, fines, disbarment and triple damages shall be applied.Fwef
In other words, Marxist Democrats can not deprive a citizen of an OBVIOUS Constitutionally protected right for months and months as the desired long and costly LAWFARE punishment before overturned on appeal or a lawsuit can be brought forward to reverse the illegal ruling.
In other words, The SCOTUS must act as soon as smoke from a Marxist political arsonist rises, not wait years while a citizen’s career, wealth, home or business is smoking rubble.
The Fourteenth Amendment says nothing about “attempting” to hold office. A childish tantrum ! Lavs can always use the TP.
Does this moron really think he can get 2/3 of both houses of congress to pass his bill? He really needs to pull his head out of his backside long than to spew his manure.
That POS Raskin reminds me of a kid in grade school who got his ass kicked everyday because he was a POS. If only now it were the same way. We can dream right. He reminds me of a cry baby little prick.
Those House DemoKKKrats opposing the proper reading of the 14th Amendment are what its Section 3 was intended to deal with. They are insurrectionists.
Who do we need to get to put Ratskin behind bars along with Cheney, Swalwell, Sniff, Nadler, and that list goes on. The whole “insurrection” fairy tale needs to be adjudicated, and the DC gulag needs to be emptied.
MORE PROOF that it is the Democrats that are the ones Destroying Democracy….
Ratskin should get a noose, along with skank Wasserman, and that snake Swallow-well Then throw in TDS disturbed Schief.
Execute those commie filth
Hey SFB, did you not read what SCOTUS said. Are you that ignorant? If the voters want him on the ballot, YOU DON’T HAVE A SAY IN THE MATTER! Guess what. Trump is the Nominee of the Republican Party. Are you afraid this might be a fair election if Biden has to speak with someone telling him what to say?
Deep State Plan B – Arkancide. From JFK to Seth Rich, they are very good at it!
Politicians Nationwide need to be very careful. Treason is still treason even when comitted democratically by elected representatives. Gitmo needs way more residents to become more cost effective.
