DeSantis should already be legally disqualified for office

[Marius25]

DeSantis, 5 minutes after Trump was indicted, says he would violate the Constitution by not helping extradite Trump.

Obviously he has no power to stop an extradition, but how can he publicly admit he'd violate the Constitution, and then swear an oath to defend the Constitution running for President?

America really needs better mechanisms to disqualify people from office. Oaths to office are absolutely worthless.

One of the countless flaws of America that are leading to our collapse.

1. If Americans keep voting for criminals, our country will always be under siege and in danger.

Chaos, division, turmoil.

2. Our system works only to the extent that the people involved act in good faith.

Most of the time, most people have acted in good faith (even Nixon obeyed the Supreme Court's order to turn over the tapes) - but when they don't, things fall apart.

3. It appears tfg is going to NYC willingly,.

"Trump, however, appears poised to head to New York without force.

"This evening we contacted Mr. Trump's attorney to coordinate his surrender to the Manhattan DA's office for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under seal," a spokesperson for the agency said. "Guidance will be provided when the arraignment date is selected."

Attorneys for the DA and for Trump are set to mutually agree on a time and place, likely the district attorney's office in Manhattan, to book the ex-president, take his fingerprints, and shoot his mugshot."

4. Those mechanisms are the political process, our democratic institutions, and the American people.

After 2016 many have lost faith in all three.

5. Agree COMPLETELY

There are no standards for who is allowed to run. Dump ran inciting violence in his nazi campaign rallies and no one did a thing. And here he is, indicted and running for a THIRD time.
