@ThePlumLineGS Most privileged man in America. x.com/jesskcoleman/s…

Yes, disqual could have severe consequences/enter new territory. But via Ian Bassin 🇺🇦, if trying to end lawful constitutional democracy is not deemed disqualifying, it could also cross a Rubicon: 11/

@jodieejack @ThePlumLineGS Roger Parloff Here's an idea: Ask the Capitol police if THEY thought it felt like a violent insurrection.

@ThePlumLineGS David Kurtz They claim he can't be removed by the 14th because he hasn't been convicted but the amendment does not mention conviction

What if, in the runup to 1/6, Trump had explicitly told his supporters to descend on the Capitol to stop the VP and Congress from certifying the transfer of power *by any means necessary*? Well, here’s what he did do: 2/

What if Trump, as he harangued the mob on 1/6, had explicitly told them to force Pence to scuttle the transfer of power, broadcasting a message to Pence that if he failed, he’d face the mob’s fury? Well, here’s what he did say: 5/

What if Trump, as people begged him to call off the mob, explicitly said no, because he wanted them to keep going, to intimidate the VP and Congress from certifying the transfer of power? Well, here’s what he did do: 7/

What if, while the mob attacked the Capitol, Trump had tweeted explicit instructions that the rioters should do whatever it takes to force Pence to sabotage the transfer of power? Well, here’s what Trump did tweet — again, *while* the mob was rampaging: 6/

What if Trump had explicitly told top DOJ officials to fabricate evidence of widespread election fraud because he needed a pretext to justify his premeditated, illegal scheme to sabotage the transfer of power? Well, here’s what he did do: 3/

@ThePlumLineGS You're attempting to reason with the unreasonable.
THERE IS NOTHING TRUMP HAS DONE OR COULD DO THAT WOULD CAUSE HIS SUPPORTERS TO TURN AGAINST HIM.
NOTHING.
How do they justify it? THEY BLAME SOMEONE ELSE AND BELIEVE IT.
They are wholly lost to us. Write them off, move on.✌🏽🌎

@judgeluttig @ThePlumLineGS You’re a national treasure. The constitution is lucky to have you on her side.

Here’s how the CO ruling defines the threshold for committing insurrection: “a concerted and public use of force or threat of force…to hinder or prevent the US government from taking the actions necessary to accomplish the peaceful transfer of power.” 9/

What if Trump had repeatedly and explicitly told his VP to ignore the law and abuse his authority to subvert the electoral count in keeping with his premeditated scheme to sabotage the transfer of power? Well, here’s what he did do: 4/

@ThePlumLineGS How delusional has a substantial chunk of our country become that we have to debate whether a months long attempt to overthrow our elections, culminating in a violent and deadly attack on the final process of election certification, is an insurrection?

I’m quite torn on kicking Trump off the ballots. But I think this @ThePlumLineGS thread refuting Ross Douthat’s recent essay is important.

The use of the 14th in this way is a serious but legitimate tool. We should be sober about the implications, but it is not anti-democratic.

@ThePlumLineGS Trump must be disqualified under the 14th Amendment Sect. 3—or it's meaningless.
He must be made to face trial for all 91 of his alleged crimes, esp in DC, or the rule of law, the legal maxim that no-one is above the law in America, and the inscription over SCOTUS are meaningless
