67 I *almost* like it, but I just don't. It's getting a little bit too close to the pseudo-realism stuff of the 20s and 30s.

And sure enough, 1928. It hadn't yet accelerated because of the Depression and the commies everywhere, but it's a subtle preview of things to come.

It isn't there yet, though, and so I almost like it. I like it for what it could have been.

Beschloss imagined the proverbial "independent women in the Philadelphia suburbs" saying that despite Trump making their "skin crawl," they would vote for him anyhow since Biden "has lost control."

Hilariously, Beschloss blamed people's support for Trump on . . . schools! He declared that schools have stopped teaching civics, or much of history or social studies, so people haven't learned the difference between democracy and dictatorship!

In this case, the words supporting Scotus opinion are specifically in the actual amendment.

"Section 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

No other body is given this power to enforce the 14th Amendment and only Congress can remove the exclusion from elected office by 2/3rds vote.

Congress repealed any punitive legislation regarding enforcement of Section 3 in the 1890's I believe.

Yes, however the Liberal wing is not totally on board.

SCOTUSBLOG:

Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson have a (joint?) opinion concurring in the judgment. They too agree that Colorado cannot keep Trump off the ballot. But then, they say, five justices go further and "decide novel constitutional questions to insulate this Court and [Trump] from further controversy," by announcing "that a disqualification for insurrection can occur only when Congress enacts a particular kind of legislation pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. In doing so, the majority shuts the door on other potential means of enforcement."

Not so much kicking the can as just reading the law.

As whig pointed out, there were laws on the books until the 1890s that included provisions around punishment for insurrection, but they were repealed.

There is no mechanism for ruling someone being in insurrection on statute anymore at the federal level. Which is what the right has been saying for...years.

Whenever I am faced with this, I find left wing groups and see who they endorse. Then vote the other way.

Where I live it’s impossible to get elected as a Dem. So leftists run as Reps or “independents”. Sometimes they win because nobody ever does research.

But progressive groups are the giveaway. If they really push for someone, you know what tht candidate really is about.

290 Section 3 of the Amendment likewise restricts state au-
tonomy, but through different means. It was designed to
help ensure an enduring Union by preventing former Con-
federates from returning to power in the aftermath of the
Civil War. See, e.g., Cong. Globe, 39th Cong., 1st Sess.,
2544 (1866) (statement of Rep. Stevens, warning that with-
out appropriate constitutional reforms “yelling secession-
ists and hissing copperheads” would take seats in the
House); id., at 2768 (statement of Sen. Howard, lamenting
prospect of a “State Legislature . . . made up entirely of dis-
loyal elements” absent a disqualification provision). Sec-
tion 3 aimed to prevent such a resurgence by barring from
office “those who, having once taken an oath to support the
Constitution of the United States, afterward went into re-
bellion against the Government of the United States.”
Cong. Globe, 41st Cong., 1st Sess., 626 (1869) (statement of
Sen. Trumbull).

Yes they do and so does Amy Coney Barrett in her concurrence. Which is a stupid argument because simply put, the 14th's explicit language grants only Congress the power to punish by removal from the ballot for insurrection and the power to remove that punishment. Not courts.

It was never otherwise including Scotus having the right to rule on whether candidates can be on the ballot--no such power is given to Scotus or other courts and furthermore, it has nothing to do with the time, place, and manner, reservation for states to conduct federal elections for offices.

Nope, the 14th is out of play for their justification and the Supremacy Clause prevents a state from deciding de facto itself that it can ban a candidate from state ballots. BTW, Lincoln's 1860 election was the last time that happened and arguably, states are now bound by both the 14th and 15th amendments protecting a candidate's right to run as long as they comply with ordinary filing dates, petitions,etc. within the meaning of time, place, and manner restrictions left to the states for federal elections.

390 The White Factory
Katherine Schmidt

Holy smokes, this caused my brain cells to buzz. I am a sucker for American painters who embrace American scenes. This bias comes from years of looking at America through a camera lens. The saturated colors, the distortions, the 20th century cues (telephone poles) all conspire to tell something about an energetic forward looking people that wear their bucolic "American corn" (Schmidt's phrase) in the same moment. I looked at some of her other works. What I saw of her work from the early 1920s was nothing to get riled up over and then *boom* she paints the White Factory. How does that happen? It just does. Would hang.

In the end this is about power and Democrats blatant attempt to corrupt our rights and indefinitely hold tyrannical power over the citizens. They cannot win fairly at the ballot box, ergo they've decided to subvert the system and weaponize government against the people. This is precisely what the anti federalists feared, and why our constitution was written and amended in the manner it was. Today "we the people" took back a little bit of that power.

Forget the Constitution, forget the people, forget the country. That has always been the source of their harebrained reasoning on virtually every issue, for hundreds of years, with a paltry few exceptions.

I'll buy that Thomas voted this way on principle. For the other 8 to go along (including even the repulsive John Roberts) means they perceive the threat to federal power from squashing Trump is greater than the threat of letting him run unimpeded by the Court.

That's all there is to it. If they perceived advantage in upholding the decision, it would have been 8-1 in the other direction.

It would be obiter dictum as the 14th has clear and concise requirements for any candidate to be excluded on the basis of insurrection and Congress only has been given the power to punish insurrectionists that way. Currently there is no statute allowing such and Congress would have to pass a new one.

Due process is probably coming up at bat in the NY travesty cases of seizing Trump's assets and his joke of a libel trial. Claiming one's innocence is not per se libel when no criminal conviction has happened. Plus both were public figures and thus the evidence in the case should be clear and convincing std., not more likely than not.

That idea that where the Constitution says 'X' has the power to do 'Y' does not prohibit 'Z' from doing it too.

I am disappointed in the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision stripping states of the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates. Colorado should be able to bar oath-breaking insurrections from our ballot.


So here's a little thought experiment. Suppose CO had been allowed to bar Trump from the ballot as being unqualified. Now suppose he wins the general anyway. Could CO continue to refuse to recognize him as President? Seems like that's the logical consequence of CO SoS's position.

Wikipedia, in part: The White Factory (Polish: Biała Fabryka) is the classicist building in Łódź, Poland, constructed in 1835–1839 to host a textile factory which belonged to Ludwik Geyer. It currently hosts the Central Museum of Textiles and Folk Dance Ensemble "HARNAM". It is considered a fine example of early industrial architecture in Łódź.[1] The building is located at the southern end of Piotrkowska Street, south of the city center.
