    So when did it become an insurrection. At what point exactly? The ACLU has publicly stated Trump's comments at the rally are protected speech (I'm not saying they're right). And a lot of this stuff is the same shady election fraud that happens all the time - and which should be prosecuted when it can be - but that does not make it an insurrection. Sending false documents somewhere is not even in the same universe as using force to overthrow a government.

    I think the fact that a large minority, enough to win, want to vote for Trump is far more concerning than his actions on January 6.

    The civil war was an insurrection. I do not think Trump was trying to overthrow the government. If you want to persecute every candidate who has pushed the lie that an election was stolen from them, you will have a tough row to hoe.

    Wickard was clearly wrong. Roe was laughably wrong. Dobbs was wrong because stare decisis is critical to ordered liberty. Obamacare was wrong because you cannot call something a "tax" unless it originates in the House. That's my only beef with that decision. They should have addressed the interstate commerce issues more squarely. It was a sleight of hand.

    Sorry my fault. I don't think there needs to be a "conviction," per se. I do think that there has to be some sort of federal government action against an individual before he or she can be categorized as an insurrectionist and therefore subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 3. It could be legislative, or some sort of judicial process, but it cannot just be states taking their best shot at it, so to speak. I should have been more clear. I disagree but I understand your point.

    You tell me. I don't think DJT fomented an insurrection, or that what happened on 1/6 was an insurrection. I also think they should have shot every single person who tried to storm the Capitol that day. No my opinion would not change based on the political party.

    Let me ask you this: Is Mike Pence able to run for President? Could Bill Barr run for President? What about Trump's children? How do we decide?
  8. BHMCruiser
    Obviously there's a disagreement as to the disqualification. Are you kidding me with that "of course we all agree" nonsense? The constitution still has to be enforced. That's why 1983 and 1988 exist. They are congressional legislation created for the enforcement of the Reconstruction Era amendments.

    No I'm not. I'm not talking about uniform federal election law. I don't mind if the states control their ballots to some degree. But what they cannot do is strike a candidate on political grounds. That's just not tolerable, nor is it legal.
  10. BHMCruiser
    I bet half the Americans and all of the Supreme Court justices can reasonably dispute that. They did go beyond what was necessary.
  11. BHMCruiser
    I respectfully disagree. There's an enormous qualitative difference between barring a candidate for failing to meet clearly established, evenly applied, objective criteria to be on a state's ballot and striking the presumptive candidate of one of the major parties because you don't like something he did. I disagree with the court for reaching the issue of HOW to enforce Section 3, but having a five day bench trial in Colorado to decide whether the former president is an insurrectionist (or Maine's secretary of parking just throwing him off the ballot there) ain't it. There has to be some sort of determination that Trump is guilty of insurrection for Section 3 to execute. And it has to be uniformly, nationally applied/applicable.

    You sound like a fucking lunatic. Switch to decaf.
  13. BHMCruiser
    No it won't. Not when you have unadulterated trash like Dred Scott, Roe v. Wade, Wickard v. Filburn, Dobbs, and the Obamacare decision.
  14. BHMCruiser
    Your approach works if you're okay with every state getting to hold a hearing to determine if some politician "actually committed insurrection," whatever that means, with the total chaos (if not outright civil war) that resulted from forcibly removing people from ballots for political reasons.

    I seldom agree with you but in this case agree entirely with your analysis up until your last paragraph. The four concurring justices are correct that the Court should never have reached the issues decided in 1A of the opinion.

    VENISON PASTITSIO? GODDAMN!

    It's been a wild ride here in the Heart of Dixie. I'm still not worried about it. Expectations need to be realistic. Losing Grubb is unfortunate, but again, whatever.

    I cannot remember the last time I was stoked to see something. This looks incredible.

    Pulp Fiction may be the best movie ever made

    They've usually made up for the lack of choices by having unique colors and high quality paint. In this case, who knows? I still think the idea of a hybrid LC starting in the $50s is bad ass and look forward to the new model. I may even buy one in five or ten years once my 200 series needs a new home. I've driven a 55, 2 80s, a 100 and a 200. Nothing but LCs for me.

    I met R. Lee Ermey at a dinner one time and told him that, while he was a great actor, his one role was so impressive, so undeniably great, that it was a gift to all movie lovers for the rest of time. "Of course," I told him, "I am referring to Saving Silverman." He thought that was hilarious and could not believe anybody had even seen it.

    Also has one of Jack Nicholson's all time best lines, in response to Shirley MacLaine telling him she loves him: "well, I don't know what else to say except my stock answer." "which is?" "I love you too, kid."
