A Colorado judge on Wednesday rejected a bid by former President Donald Trump to shut down the 14th Amendment case against his 2024 candidacy in the middle of the ongoing trial.
“It did not apply only to those who took up arms,” Magliocca added.
He described one example from 1868, shortly before the amendment was ratified, when Congress decided that a Kentucky politician was disqualified from serving because he wrote a letter-to-the-editor advocating for violence against Union troops. Another senator-elect was disqualified because he sent $100 to his son, who was serving in the Confederate Army.
If the outcome wasn’t so important, it was hilarious in an Arrested Development kind of way. All of trump’s lawyers’ witnesses have been super cagey and the tea party lady was freaking out because she was basically testifying for the offense unknowingly. By the time she figured it out, she was trying to say she knows trump and he would never try to influence an insurrection. It was scary funny.
Edit: Also, right now they have one of the dumbest dudes ever testifying. He’s sweet but dumb and a diehard trumper.
Absolutely fantastic. Get him outta there!
