Jeff Danziger for February 10, 2024

Plain English, the leader of an insurrection cannot hold office.

The Supremes will tell us, but I won’t believe them.

Not the MAGAts.

MAGAts will believe whatever Their Messiah tells them.

If Trump says it’s OKAY if he has people murdered, they all KNOW it’s OKAY.

Give the President complete immunity then we won’t have to have a trial or an election. Trump will be not guilty than Biden can have him killed.

Oh great, thanks to the Orange Man we’ll have a nation of Karens running around!!!

People can’t agree on what the 2nd amendment says or what the 1st amendment means, and they should both be simple.

USA is going down the drain. (Is it a bad thing?)

If they’re playing at being lawyers, they should off themselves, if they listen to the dude on the right.

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” Insurrectionist 45 was impeached for incitement of insurrection on January 13, 2021 by the U.S. House of Representatives. What is unclear here?

What the Court would do is simply that the separation of powers and the supremacy clause don’t allow the states to interfere in a federal election. There lies a reason to end the electoral college with the interstate pact. We could still show the winner in each of those states, but popular vote would still decide the president nationwide.

Discussing the U. S. Constitution? Not a bad thing.

Maybe the Great Orange Blob is good for something?

Too bad we got this far.

In the past four years I have watched more lawyer talk about the constitution and court procedure than I had in all the seventy-one years before. So I get this toon. Although I haven’t started quoting Latin legal terms, yet.

A typical misquote of Shakespeare. The actual phrase is more along the lines of: “If we would lose our freedoms, we must first kill all the lawyers.” The rule of law is what undergirds all of our freedoms. Absent that, we have no freedom. BTW. I am not a lawyer, nor am I related to any.

The 14th Amendment exposed a major deficiency in the constitution. Where the language of the day.. can not stand the parsing of today’s lawyers.

A common sense reading.. and trump is barred from all ballots and can not run.. period. But, this will open the door to further challenges, previously taken for granted.. like only two terms or being born in the United States.

Trump claims he was elected in 2020. By a reading of Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice….” then Trump declares that he himself is ineligible for election in 2024. No there’s some lawyerish talk for you!

A Masterpiece, Mr. Danziger. Res Ipse Loquitur.

It means vicious lying puting loving rapist and racist Putin loving Trump will get away with murder because the system is too broken to deal with his constant anti American criminality.

The fact is, Trump didn’t lead an insurrection, and no reasonable jury would say that he did. He tried, but with his usual degree of competence, he failed miserably. He would have loved to see millions of MAGAts take over DC and kill Mike Pense and all of his opponents. He managed to get a few thousand people, none of whom, when put on trial were able to come up with a factual reason why they were there other than they were lied to by a person no one in their right mind would believe.

If he were trying to rob a bank, but forgot to bring a gun and kept pushing on a door that said “pull” he might be charged with something, but the jury would conclude that some people are just too dumb to get the job done.

It cracks me up that our resident trolls cannot grasp the concept of synonyms .

I have to laugh/wince every time the “first thing we’ll kill all the lawyers” line is plucked from Shakespeare, usually as an anti-lawyer comment. If you read the entire dialogue, though, the idea to kill all the lawyers is to make it EASIER to overthrow the government. Lawyers protect the rule of law, and hence are obstacles to anti-gov’t types.

it doesn’t mean nothing if you have millions of braindead cult followers

Reminds me of a FB meme, a bunch of overweight rubes in suspender overalls:

“And just like that, the trump cult became legal scholars…”

I never listened to the people who sit on barstools

Well, we’re better lawyers than the corrupt 6 on trumps puppet court.

Focus in on the part that refers to those who “have given aid and comfort” to enemies of the Constitution. You really can’t miss it except willfully
