  • I'm thinking that's the point. Individuals carry five times the tax burden than corporations, yet we bend over backwards to protect corporations. Why?

    IMHO, corporations are responsible for so many of the countries' problems, while contributing very little in support. No wonder why people are waking up and saying "fuck corporations" (or at least, "fuck the corporate tax structure").

  • The remedy is clearly spelled out in the amendment. Let Congress lift the disability by a vote or find a new candidate — case closed. No citizen has a constitutional right to hold a government office, especially the highest office in the land. Please stop making excuses for disgraceful and illegal behavior like treason.

  • "LET THE JANUARY 6 PRISONERS GO,"

    I'm assuming by, "PRISONERS," he means convicted insurrectionists. His plan then is to free traitors which, by my reading, is "giving comfort" to enemies of the state. Again, how is that not a violation of the fourteenth?

    I believe we're all thinking too much into the fourteenth. It's really a simple clause which Americans should not need to do mental gymnastics to understand. We have plenty of qualified citizens who can run for the office of President (once we clear these chucklefucks out). Traitors (and even traitor-adjacent individuals) should not be in public office and that is what the fourteenth is all about. We didn't want to see a repeat of the Civil War and now look at us.

  • Ladies and gentlemen: the 45th president of the United States.

    Does anyone else remember when that used to be an honorable title? This idiot sounds like everyone's least favorite uncle at Thanksgiving.

  • Funny how courts decide intellectual property cases. It's as if the one with the deeper pockets wins...each and every time. Strange. 🤔

    Edit: Changed "copyright" to "intellectual property" as this case deals with a patent.

  • To me, all of these cases seem ridiculous. Trump is simply ineligible to hold office — full stop. The fourteenth clearly spells out the remedy, which does not include litigating in court. It states:

    But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

    So there it is — the amendment should be decided by Congress. Not the courts. Not the voters.

    Also, who cares if he ends up on a ballot? States would have a responsibility to invalidate his electors (should he win any) who would be engaging in violation of the fourteenth by voting for an insurrectionist and therefore they too are ineligible to hold office. In my opinion, the whole exercise is a waste of time designed to protect someone not worth pissing on if he were on fire.
