Tim Scott seems to have just realized he’s in the Republican partyhttps://www.businessinsider.com/tim-scott-responds-gay-rumors-unmarried-black-2024-campaign-2023-9Sen. Tim Scott, a 2024 GOP presidential candidate, is defending his unmarried status.It's garnered more attention over the course of the campaign, with some insinuating he's gay.Scott insists he has a girlfriend and says the attention on his relationship status is a stand-in for other attacks.Sad that Sen. Scott cannot simply be who his is, or is not. The Trump 14th Amendment Insurrection clause push is onLet’s talk 14th Amendment Often referred to as the “substantive due process” clause and where you can find the “priviledges and immunities” language, along with equal protectionBTW why this isn’t being mentioned as a way to challenge abortion laws, I’m not sure, but that’s another showLanguage of 14th: 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Civil Rights (1868) | National ArchivesVery Smart Legal Scholar ArticleQuote from article: The Congress that proposed the Fourteenth Amendment rightly regarded the situation as outrageous—not only morally, but practically. If former Confederates held the levers of federal and state government power, effective “reconstruction” of the political order and any hope of extending the full and equal protection of the laws to the newly freed former slaves would be at an end.Section 3 is the insurrection clause: 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.Potential problem: section 5 places enforcement with Congress to make laws that enforce the provisions of the 14th, but wording of Sec 3 seems to automatically attach, or be “self executing” in legal termsLaurence Tribe: If Trump doesn’t qualify for insurrection clause, nobody wouldMinnesota challenge (just the latest similar in Colorado) Trump faces another 14th Amendment candidacy challenge, this time in Minnesota | CNN Politics14th Amendment challenges against Trump's candidacy mount as campaign pushes back - ABC NewsFrom law suit: “Donald J. Trump, through his words and actions, after swearing an oath as an officer of the United States to support the Constitution, then engaged in insurrection as defined by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment,” the new lawsuit says. “He is disqualified from holding the presidency or any other office under the United States.”Trump’s Final Solution Plan unveiledConservatives aim to restructure U.S. government and replace it with Trump’s vision | PBS NewsHourFrom article: With a nearly 1,000-page “Project 2025” handbook and an “army” of Americans, the idea is to have the civic infrastructure in place on Day One to commandeer, reshape and do away with what Republicans deride as the “deep state” bureaucracy, in part by firing as many as 50,000 federal workers.Plan to “flood the zone” with ConservativesBasically a plan to completely turn over the government with only those who have passed the Fuhrer’s loyalty testGOP Primary now with more COVID COVID panic hits the Republican primaries | SemaforGOP on social media posting like it’s 2021 and they are fighting masks againHitting the panic button on Biden?
