Democrats’ lawless game to remove Trump from 2024 ballot

COMMENTARY

By Mike Davis - - Friday, September 29, 2023

OPINION:


After the Civil War, Congress passed and the states ratified the Civil War amendments. The 13th, 14th and 15th amendments outlawed slavery, guaranteed equal protection and due process to freed slaves, and guaranteed voting rights to freed male slaves.

In the immediate aftermath of the war, Confederate sympathizers began winning elections to the House of Representatives and other key offices. Fearing they would undermine the Union and Reconstruction efforts,
Congress added Section 3 to what would become the 14th Amendment to disqualify Confederate sympathizers from holding office if they engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States during the Civil War.

Democrats, desperate to defeat a resurgent former President Donald Trump, are dusting off the 14th Amendment’s disqualification clause, largely dormant for 155 years, with a ridiculous legal theory to remove him from the ballot before the 2024 presidential election.

For people who proclaim they are defending democracy, this is one of the most dangerous, destructive and anti-democratic political games imaginable.

Even if Mr. Trump has the support of the public to win back the White House, these disqualification clause zealots simply want President Biden to win by default.

This will not fly with the American people, and it will not fly with the Supreme Court.

No one has charged Mr. Trump with insurrection or rebellion. The evidence does not exist, despite years and tens of millions of dollars spent by the House Democrats’ Jan. 6 committee, corporate media, liberal nonprofit enterprises, and the Biden Justice Department hunting for such evidence.

Democrats and Trump-deranged Republicans must stop playing their dangerous, anti-democratic political game. Booting Mr. Trump from the ballot, based upon a bogus legal theory of a Civil War amendment’s disqualification clause, is a republic-ending tactic.
