Rich Baris "The People's Pundit" @Peoples_Pundit · Dec 20 But just to be clear, you don't believe in due process outlined in the 14th Amendment, and you don't acknowledge the fact it omits the Office of the President, and you don't acknowledge the part where the President is the only one who declares an "insurrection" etc. etc. etc. wmcgurn @wmcgurn1959 ~ Congress amended section 3 of the 14th Amendment twice: 1870 & 1948 to show the Judicial branch how it was to be applied. "1948: Congress replaced the 1870 statute with a criminal insurrection law, 18 U.S.C. § 2383. If convicted under that statute -- with full criminal due process afforded the defendant -- one of the punishments is to be banned from holding office in the United States. Trump has not been charged under this statute."

An amicus brief https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-624/293864/20231220140217967_US%20v.%20Trump%20amicus%20final.pdf has been filed in the SCOTUS by former Attorney General Ed Meese (under Ronald Reagan), and two constitutional law professors, Steven Calabresi and Gary S. Lawson, challenging the legality altogether of Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel for prosecuting Mr. Trump. The amicus is filed in the matter of Jack Smith’s certiorari petition to the court to schedule Mr. Trump’s DC trial the same day as the Super Tuesday primary —against the defendant’s objections. The amicus presents compelling arguments that Attorney General Merrick Garland acted illegally in appointing Mr. Smith, and if SCOTUS chucks him out of the special counsel job, the whole mendaciously constructed scaffold of the Jan 6 prosecution goes out the window, along with the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
I love the mendaciously constructed scaffold going out the window part.
