72 hours away! Trump will be REQUIRED to be present

Folks, 72 hours away to Donald J Trump FIRST Criminal Trial.

1. He MUST be present, quiet at all times and sitting in a civil manner.
2. If Trump out burst or disrupt the precedings, the Judge can and probably remove him from the courtroom.
3. If the judge removes Trump from the courtroom during this trial, unlike a civil trial, he can be held in jail during the Criminal Trial....

Feb 2021 US Congress

" But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability" section 3.

According to the US Supreme Court, did they say Congress have to vote on these cases?

Did a majority voted in both House and Senate in February 2021 he engaged in a insurrection?

Even though an impeachment was not 2/3 of the Senate, they did have 57/43 ruling.

So my question is, section 3 says 2/3 to remove the disability. Didn't say 2/3 to convict. My interpretation is a simple majority.. and takes 2/3 to allow for them hold office... Thoughts?

King Trump

King Trump as known by his deplorables, is once again asking for donations for his causes. Causes of his fraud.

Lets not forget nearly a decade ago, he was caught in a fraud sceam with his infamous "Trump University ".

Now, his so called fortunes are mere exaggerations for the con. The con, being the hoodwinked republican party; were taken over in an hostile takeover of extremists Now, the once GOP, is nothing more than loyal and faithful subjects of their King.

The king believes he will take and have the power to destroy his enemies. The king is in fact unpopular amoung of most America.
The King is in a panic, he is bankrupt, not a successful businessman, just a conman without no recourse or protection from that dark cell of the Judical System that awaits. What else awaits this man, is Americans wanting our nation back from his grips of his GOP political stooges, all we have now, is time.

More Exposures he hideous acts will occur and our Nation will survive this period we are in, under trumpism

Tomorrow and the future decision will be a stepping stone.

Marjorie Taylor Green, should be worried.
Even though she already went through her insurrection trial in Georgia prior to her last election, she did violated her oath of Office in 2023.

That oath of office was to defend and support the US Constitution and Amendment 14, disqualifies anyone, "given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

What act did this vile congresswoman do?

In March 2023, she went to the DC Jail amd high-five the Insurrectist defendants, giving pat on the defendants backs and chatting, "lets go brandon" are clear indicators of giving comfort to this country enemies.

Remember, these Insurrectist carried a battle flag, it was the Trump flag, which is a small army that took over the US Capitol.

Abbott thinks it be a Political Blunder on Biden

So the Great state of Texas believes it could ignore the US Supreme Court and continue its defiance onto the US Government. The oath of office for Governor explicitly states to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States", if Governor Abbott os creating an issue that goes against the US Government in violation of the laws, therefore Governor Abbott could be charged for crimes against the US Government. So the political blunder has already been done, if Biden Federalize the National Guard, Biden is upholding his oath of office.

The Law and the US Constitution

All Laws have been implemented by means of legislation of Federal, State, County or Municipal actions. What set's the laws into proper enforcement is the Executive and Judical elements of our government.

What binds the three tier system and the lower government bodies is the US Constitution granting then to exist.

That same US Constitution that grants government bodies to exist, also grants the US Supreme Court to exist.

If the Supreme Court Judiciary goes against the US Constitution, then the US Constitution is weak. All US Supreme Court Judges that are allowed to vote against the law of the land, but for their belief of choice of politics, shall be impeached for failing to uphold their Oath of Office.

Thus, I believe trump will succumb to the Laws of the Land and evidently be removed from the ballot and lose another case at hand.

Supreme Court does go by the Laws of the land, it be unprecedented if they go for an Insurrectist favor.

Tired of hearing let the voters decide

When I hear or read that the voters should decide, they are gambling MY rights away when there is a clear law forcing the system to prevent those who violate their oath of office or was found "in court of law" to be an Insurrectist.

If they took arms or support against the United States, then they should never have any doings with the United States, that should include pensions.

14th amendment is quite clear, its for preservation of the United States from those who tried to hurt or Nation.

So next time you hear someone says they should let the voters decide, replied back, they tried to take your vote away on Jan 6 and they lost they rights after that.

Nixon vs Fitzgerald

In this case, it was brought forth to settle the issue of immunity of the Presidential powers when in office and it was settled in cleared words. In which it states." that the President is not immune from criminal charges stemming from his official or unofficial acts while he is in office" . The case went further on talking Official Acts. Meaning speechs that are of an official capacity of the Office of the Presidency. The Jan 6, 2023 should Not be an Official Act of the Presidency for no mention of the government interest was spoken and the event was set as assembly of Trump Supporters to gather to Stop the Steel /Save America rallies.

In 2023, lawsuits and criminal charges have been impose over the lies of the Presidential 2020 Election that brought forth the ralliers that then turned in Insurrectist. One court even found Trump to be an Insurrectist over this rally and should be barred to hold any public office.

So, perhaps the Supreme Court actually did do it right and require the court appeals to take the case. In that future Court of Appeals case, they could use other court opinions and the Nixon vs Fitzgerald ruling to assert Trump has no immunity over his Non-official Acts on January 6, 2021. Once it is appealed to the US Supreme Court, a decline to take the case could again be easily given as the current decline over the case; thus keeping Mr. Jack Smith case on track for start of the case. United States vs. Donald J Trump

Justice Boatright decision is incorrect

In dissenting, Colorado Justice Boatright stated, “In the absence of an insurrection-related conviction, I would hold that a request to disqualify a candidate under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment is not a proper cause of action under Colorado’s election code,”

After the Civil War, they didnt hold trials to convict Confederate Soldiers of insurrection, they simply look at the evidence. After the Civil War, Confederate Soldiers were paroled and returned back to their lives. An insurrection is an act against the United States, either to overthrow or to destroy. 14th amendment was created to prevent a repeat of a violent take over or peaceful takeover by election means.
One could insurrect and dont have to be convicted, but still could lose all citizen rights without a trial if evidence is proven in court.
Example, dead robber found at the scene of the robbery. Dead robber is not convicted, but is proven to at the scene robbing. Conviction is not necessarily if prove is concrete.
