@no1marauder saidLibs adore the 14th
Your post is incoherent nonsense.
The Colorado Supreme Court is required to enforce the Constitution by the Supremacy Clause already cited. So, of course, they have the legitimate power to make binding decisions regarding the 14th Amendment.
@metal-brain saidIndeed, he does seem to write to himself most of the time.
Biden put children in cages at the border and you know it. Why do you still repeat stuff like that when you know Biden did the same thing? Are you trying to fool us or yourself?
And they, like the NYTimes, talk only one-track. Today an opinion piece rails on about Israel killing in their efforts to erase Gaza. That killing. Not one word in the article about the killing on Oct 7.
Sonhouse and No1,,,, peas in a pod. Ask them a simple question. Ask them who, if they had to say, who appears stronger to our enemies? Biden, or Trump. Or who appears weaker??? Brrrrr
They will not answer. The obvious answer is not in them.

@averagejoe1 saidTrump was, and is, an international laughingstock.

Why you think anyone overseas thought him "strong" is an utter mystery. He puckered up to Putin at Helsinki, did nothing when the Saudis murdered Jamal Khashoggi, said he "fell in love" with the North Korean dictator, cut a surrender deal with the Taliban (freezing the Afghan government out of the "negotiations" ) and in general made a fool of himself.
@no1marauder saidif the issue were to come up congress would be the ones to decide. It would be voted on. The reason the law is written as is is to STOP rogue judges from doing what the democrats are doing now.
I don't ignore it, I just read it in the context its Framers intended.
Did the 13th Amendment abolish slavery or is it still legal because Congress hasn't passed a statute outlawing it?
What happens if democrats charge others with slavery because it fits THEIR definition?

That's not what their Framers intended and no SCOTUS case has ever doubted the Reconstruction Amendments were self-executing.
@mott-the-hoople saidJust off the top of my head, your "theory" would invalidate several famous cases such as Brown v. Board of Ed finding segregated schools a violation of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and Loving v. Virginia finding State bans on interracial marriage invalid on the same basis. In neither case had Congress legislated on the subject at the time of the decisions.

congress legislated the 14 amendment
@mott-the-hoople saidIncluding Section 3.
dumbass!
congress legislated the 14 amendment
You just sank your own argument.
@no1marauder saidand section 5 sank yours 😂
Including Section 3.
You just sank your own argument.
@no1marauder saidNone of that is relevant since Jan 6 was an inside job. Contrary to Jack Smith's false claim that it is about Trump's actions it is about Trump's in actions, right?
Here's a timeline and I don't care that someone who regularly relies on Tucker Carlson, Kim Iversen, zerohedge and other worthless sources doesn't like CNN:
https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/10/politics/jan-6-us-capitol-riot-timeline/index.html
Even his dumb a** son was telling him to tell the mob to leave the Capitol:
"2:53 p.m.
Donald Trump Jr. texts Meadows, “He’ ...[text shortened]... aff Reince Priebus texts Meadows, “TELL THEM TO GO HOME !!!,” according to messages obtained by CNN.
So why not just come out and say it. Trump is guilty of insurrection because of his in actions. He is an insurrectionist because he did nothing. Right? But here is the problem, he never called for a violent uprising. You find him guilty of one because he did not speak against those that were violent.
Is the leader of BLM guilty of in action during BLM protests? Who is to blame for not speaking out against violence during the BLM protests? Who should go to prison for in action?

@mott-the-hoople saidExplain to me again how Section 1 of the 14th Amendment doesn't require Congressional legislation (like how there was none in Brown and Loving) but Section 3 does.
and section 5 sank yours 😂
