I been researching this 14th and the 2nd and 3rd clause. Seem unfair that the courts didn’t listen to the clauses in 14th Amendment. We are definitely headed in losing the Cobnstitution and having a dictatorship. Thank you for validating my concern there.
Overwhelmingly, I stand with the 🇺🇲USA Constitution and my favorite Scholars Professor Tribe, Judge Luttig. Katie you are a JEWEL. So glad to hear Professor Tribe's continued affirmative interpretation of the 14th Amendment & Sections. Your teachings on Constitutional law are part of my higher learning educational experience; indeed, THANK YOU!
It's so good to see Lawrence Tribe. I so appreciate hearing from him discussing the 14th:3 amendment because it has been weighing heavily on my mind as to why the GOP knowing this would still be endorsing him?
Not only do we have the justice system failing to protect the American people but we also have the legislature unwilling to discipline its members. From Marjorie Taylor Greene poster board pornography violating private citizens and professional ethics during a congressional hearing to Nancy Pelosi being unwilling to discipline the squad back in the day for whatever they were pulling at the beginning of their terms. The bribery abounds and if they refuse to legislate to hold themselves accountable then they should have to wear jackets showing patches of all the corporations and bribes that they are taking that stop them from protecting the will of individual voters. Shame on all of them
Professor Tribe: You , Sir, are a national treasure in regards to the US Constitution and US legal system. Thank you for your service to the nation. May GOD Bless you and may GOD keep you going thru the end of this century and beyond.
"God" is what got us into this mess. The evangelicals are trump's base. "God" on both sides is the cause of the trouble in the middle east. Get rid of stupid religion and we would get rid of a large source of human problems. Religion is a silly story created by men who didn't know the earth is round.
Please invite Laurence Tribe back now that the Colorado verdict is in. I was stunned by the judge's decision and would like to hear what both Tribe and Luttig think of the argument behind the decision. Love your interviews, Katy. Very informative.
@@750dollarman2 yes, I'm just struggling to accept the idea that those who wrote and approved the 14th amendment intended for a President or VP to be able to coup and then coup again, to insurrect and insurrect again. Seems hard to fathom that that would have been the intent.

@@Grandhotel256 I imagine that having to try everyone that fought in the Civil War would not be reasonable. Everyone who supported the insurection after taking an oath would not be eligible. Even ex soldiers police etc because they violated that oath.
Thank you for this sober conversation - I am perplexed by many things - one in particular - how is that in many states convicted felons who have served their sentences are not able to vote, but a convicted felon can run for, and serve as President of the US. This is crazy making.
SPOT ON, my state won't even put air conditioning in the FOR PROFIT jails. DeathSINTas* revoked Felons from voting! Texas extended more restrictions for parolees and jailed one for voting with a valid registration. Thank Senator Hughes for #1 voter Suppression laws over last few years. Gov. Abbott signed them.
Many state laws conflict with federal laws!!! EX: Marijuana laws. Now Dobbs vs Roe is at issue. For the record, typically to make it illegal for any felon who has served their time to still not be able to vote is exactly what red-ruled states do. That's because typically the black & brown-skinned felons tend to vote for Democrats! And NOW, that same political tribe, Rethuglicons--bent on keeping or stealing power happens to have a cult leader that is running for president & they don't want anyone stopping that! If ANY Democratic candidate was indicted, like Dump-not even convicted, know that EVERY Rethuglicon would be raising hell!! Rethuglicons don't want every American to vote. They've believed the fewer ppl vote, the better off they are. And they are right. This has been their mantra since 1977. It's Rethuglicons that passed over 500 voter suppression bills in the past few years. It's Rethuglicons that have gerrymandered their states so they don't have to change any of their policies for their voters, & keep power over any Democrat that may run. That's also why they love electoral college so that their loser candidate has a greater chance to take power over the more popular candidate. Rethuglicons hate rule by majority. Their state laws favor them to stay in power.
@@theoneracer2716 it applies to anyone who fights and goes against the constitution and insights of riot to go against the constitution and to go against the laws that we live by for safety.

The constitution, the rule of law, our military, and America's democracy are being challenged. Thank you, Katie, for your coverage and discussion with Professor Tribe.
Thank you for reporting on this very important issue, Katie. Now that the judge in Colorado has ruled in favor of ol’ Donnie being listed on the state’s ballot, I’ll be anxious to see how the Colorado Supreme Court rules on it …
@@jodestella2746 agreed. One of the TH-cam commentators did a review of those recent polls ~ I forget who did the review, but it turned out that a huge percentage of the folks polled had NOT even voted in the previous presidential election. To me, that makes the poll somewhat bogus, from the git-go ….
Hi Katie, this was very informative and I hope that the Supreme Court eventually will have this and can rule on this issue applying the Constitution for a just verdict. God willing, our country and our lives depend on it!
Oh God, we have to trust and depend on a corrupt Sup.Ct to make a reasonable and fair ruling on a former president to which many of them support? We can't fall much lower than that.
The obvious question here is: How could the US military continue to fulfill their oath to support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and obey the president, if the president was someone who had previously not only engaged in, but who had also instigated, an insurrection against the lawful government of the USA?
@@lorrainevezeau-kq3jg That's a perfect example of Trump's simplistic comic-book mentality. In the complex adult world of reality, it would be impossible to replace all the oath-bound US miltary who could not serve under a president who would be a threat to the US Constitution.
@@DebbieAppelhansthat's funny. biden will not be running. Everyone knows that. Besides he's a corrupt politician and has been selling us out for years. The question is, how you don't know that?
You don't have to be a scholar to figure out that the 14th Amendment, section 3 absolutely disqualifies Trump from running for any office EVER AGAIN!!!!
WRONG BECAUSE TRUMP DIDN'T COMMIT AN "INSURRECTION" HE WASN'T EVEN NEAR THE CAPITOL AND APPROVED 10,000 MILITARY TROOPS FOR CAPITOL SECURITY ON JAN.4TH.
Actually, unfortunately, it doesn't. "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State...... " I think I've figured this out. The 14th amendment , Section 3 includes everyone except the President. The President isn't specifically a civil or military office. I'm guessing that the writers of the amendment intended for the Electoral College to handle the case involving a Presidential candidate. Oops!! Congress CAN enact special legislation to exclude him, but.....
Will need a new congress for that. There are conservatives that should help enact the legislation but just won't! Cowards who will cause all of use to suffer greatly!@@justintyme2451
Truly, I'm shocked at the Colorado judge who found that Trump incited the insurrection against the government, but then concluded that presidents cannot be disqualified by 14A section 3. How can that possibly be so? How? If the section doesn't apply to a presidential candidate, because that's all Trump is at this point, then who would it possibly apply to? Nutty, this Colorado Judge is nutty...and weak kneed.
Well, 14C3 doesn't include to POTUS under it's grasp. It simply doesn't state the POTUS is included. Consequently, the judge was unwilling to disqualify him. The case will likely be affirmed on appeal. 14C3 was litigated aggressively in the trial, they were unable to show that 14C3 specifically says the POTUS is included in it's list of positions.
why ? it was always obvious that this is where this was going to go . I am an avid never Trumper - but I never thought this was going to work - had the senate upheld his impeachment - as they should have - that would have been a different story. These legal scholars are well regarded but the law is applied in the real world .
I tried googling it, but they seem to be keeping it hidden, so I looked up who appointed her and he was a Democrat, I don't know if that really holds any water, but it's something.
The judges and lawyers are always citing the defendants rights to this and that, what about the peoples rights. ? We have the right not to live in fear for the safety of our judges and witnesses and law, clerks, and ourselves. They keep saying nobody is above the law, but that’s a flat out lie. I want justice I want accountability I want transparency. Thank you for listening to my rant.
Thank you Katie Couric for addressing this vital issue. I sure hope Prof. Tribe’s remark inspires Chris Christie could take Trump to court. He’s the only candidate who would not pardon Trump.
Well what is there is that they clearly consider Trump a clear and present danger to the country - and this was a way the constitution provides for protection from him . Whether or not people who have been given the responsibility of fulfilling that is very dubious = just look around .
Thank you! At last, someone with good sense. I have been saying this all along, but everyone said that I was wrong. Thank you again! Let's stop this madman now.
It's great but mo one has tge guts to stop this.idiot, nevermind his senators. Speakers of the of the house that us crazy take it to tge speakers of the the house themselves are as crooked as tgey are, and sone in Congress, speakers if tge house Omg and Jydge cannon is the worst. Aludo thomas, tonases wife it's taken them 5 years to figure this out? Crap if it was me tgat did tgat I would if been in jail for 3byearsxand mine months. Oh bulk crap trp isxa si k puppy
Authoritarians succeed where the laws and courts show weakness. And the US courts and laws have not reacted decisively. They continue to re-write the laws to accommodate one man! If the judiciary does not face up to this very real threat and apply the laws of the land without fear or favour authoritarianism will take advantage of that weakness
When center-left Lawrence Tribe who literally wrote the book on Constitutional Law--we studied from it in law school--and highly respected conservative Federal Judge Michael Luttig agree, its time to pay attention!
Glad Texas House voted down Vouchers. 4th attempt by Gov Abbott and Lt. Gov Patrick. See Project 2025 Heritage to know why Theological Oligarch's are who they answer to🤮
Thank you Katie for this interview. And thank you Mr. Tribe for your presenting your learned experience on these matters. I only hope our citizens will vote in 2024 using good judgment. Obviously, past experience has shown a large number of citizens have a limited view of their actions.
On Friday 17th the Colorado Judge found that Trump did engage in insurrection but could remain on the ballot as the 14th amendment does not specifically state "The President". It will be interesting to see what the Appeal Court makes of that!
They will probably affirm. 14C3 just doesn't state or list the POTUS. It's just that simple. There is reason to believe he MIGHT be included in the admendment but it is simply not clear. if the framers wanted the POTUS to be included that would have stated by title. Simple and clear cut.
@@jamesyoungblood6231 I think "the framers" would have thought it was not conceivable that a person who committed insurrection could possibly run for President! It seems nonsense to prevent all the other categories from running but deliberately leave out the President. But I agree, who knows what the Courts will decide. America appears to have gone INSANE!
Being on the ballot is not the same as being sworn in. Seems to me it's saying an insurrectionist can run all they want but they'll never hold the seat.
Perhaps Professor Tribe could explain this to the judge who just ruled yesterday that, although Trump engaged in an insurrection, he is still eligible to be on the ballot.
EXACTLY. Plans to pardon himself for federal crimes if convicted and is planning to invoke Insurrection Act on Day One of his presidency and wield our military AGAINST HIS ENEMIES.
There is no way in a common sense life that this man is eligible to participate in our democracy when he just tried to crush it by not accepting our process after taking a oath of office then using violence. Really?🤔
When we chat, we can use Trump's own words. Not being an alarmist here. He passes out a token treat to National Guard today, had to wonder if he's thinking 'losers' or next time he wants a soup kitchen if elected in. The cruel hypocrisy and jokes will be saved for his way to Club member owned Mar A Loco.🤬
I believe Professor Tribe is exactly correct & in the court of morality & justice as well, but the judge in Colorado just shot it down, I believe yesterday. He admits Trump was wrong yet moves to leave him on the ballot. How does America hold to its principles when judges like this make these kinds of decisions? One more defeat for the freedom of America & all that it represents. One more judge giving strength to corruption.
This needs to be in court ASAP. Do not wait two years to bring this to trial. The court system moves way too slow. This is all legal bull shit if they do not get this to trial.
The most troubling part of the Colorado judge's ruling is that she found that Trump engaged in insurrection yet can still run on the ballot in Colorado. That simple fact shows how broken our system of justice is.
@@jannichi6431 and this is why her decision is so sad. She is a coward. She could have set the precedent. It is beyond comprehension how she can say Trump engaged in insurrection and yet he can be on the ballot, when all others that have or would do the same thing cannot be on the ballot. She took the easy way out. Remember, there is always a first for each precedent. Trump is clearly an elected official, who held office, and swore to uphold the Constitution.
@@jamesdavis8731 The Amendment also states those holding military offices, the President is the Commander in Chief of the military. It further states those giving comfort to insurrectionists. The Colorado judge found that he did participate in an insurrection. By that ruling, those congressmen and others that also participated, should be disqualified as well.
Whole thing is pretty comical considering the only insurrection is stupidity taking over liberal brains. A guided tour is not an insurrection just cause you don’t like Trump. Sorry Listening to the lies in this interview is disturbing. Trump never said he would go after his opponents. He said what’s happening now is setting a terrible precedent that future presidents could continue to abuse just like moron Biden is doing now. How much do these guys get paid to sell their souls to the devil by pushing this evil narrative. I pray for this country and everyone suffering from TDS. Katie and this moron are evil. So sad

@@jodestella2746 agreed. One of the TH-cam commentators did a review of those recent polls ~ I forget who did the review, but it turned out that a huge percentage of the folks polled had NOT even voted in the previous presidential election. To me, that makes the poll somewhat bogus, from the git-go ….
Professor Lawrence Tribe gave a very insightful interview. Thank you so much, sir!
Thank you Katie for a great interview ❤️🩹💙💙
Hi Katie, this was very informative and I hope that the Supreme Court eventually will have this and can rule on this issue applying the Constitution for a just verdict. God willing, our country and our lives depend on it!
I couldn't agree more
🗳️🗣️🙏🇺🇸
Oh God, we have to trust and depend on a corrupt Sup.Ct to make a reasonable and fair ruling on a former president to which many of them support? We can't fall much lower than that.
Bwahahahaha.
@@jerry42023Even conservative members of SCOTUS cannot dispute the law.
Wallace in CO pulls a fast one in closing remarks saying the president isn't mentioned. SMH
I think he's afraid of trump's unhinged base.
Nor is he excluded.
The obvious question here is: How could the US military continue to fulfill their oath to support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and obey the president, if the president was someone who had previously not only engaged in, but who had also instigated, an insurrection against the lawful government of the USA?
Trump said he’ll kick them all out first day in office and make his own.
You know his thugs will try something similar again. Ask Bannon.
@@lorrainevezeau-kq3jgjust like hitler or stalin
Very good question? The oath officials swear will be rendered pointless
@@lorrainevezeau-kq3jg That's a perfect example of Trump's simplistic comic-book mentality.
In the complex adult world of reality, it would be impossible to replace all the oath-bound US miltary who could not serve under a president who would be a threat to the US Constitution.
If he isn't disqualified, no one will ever be.
True
This needs to be on national news!!!!
I love discussions with Laurence Tribe. He really is a National Treasure.
Katie, thank you for bringing this to us, and thank you Prof. Tribe for your calm words of wisdom. Frankly, I'm weeping.
VOTE!
VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND HARRIS 4 more years greatest years to come VOTE for Adam FRISCH in Colorado Springs 😀 🙌 ❤️ 💙
What a joke they are!
@@DebbieAppelhansthat's funny. biden will not be running. Everyone knows that. Besides he's a corrupt politician and has been selling us out for years. The question is, how you don't know that?
You don't have to be a scholar to figure out that the 14th Amendment, section 3 absolutely disqualifies Trump from running for any office EVER AGAIN!!!!
He's dangerous to our democracy!
WRONG BECAUSE TRUMP DIDN'T COMMIT AN "INSURRECTION" HE WASN'T EVEN NEAR THE CAPITOL AND APPROVED 10,000 MILITARY TROOPS FOR CAPITOL SECURITY ON JAN.4TH.
Actually, unfortunately, it doesn't.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State...... "
I think I've figured this out. The 14th amendment , Section 3 includes everyone except the President. The President isn't specifically a civil or military office. I'm guessing that the writers of the amendment intended for the Electoral College to handle the case involving a Presidential candidate. Oops!! Congress CAN enact special legislation to exclude him, but.....
Liberals really do live in one very delusional world
Will need a new congress for that. There are conservatives that should help enact the legislation but just won't! Cowards who will cause all of use to suffer greatly!@@justintyme2451
Agree-how can someone guilty become a president-14th amendment
Excellent program this morning. Great speaker and he answered many of my concerns. Thank you !
We need to keep him as far away from the Oval Office as possible
and all his minions...
Maybe we can use the remaining Mexico wall to keep trump at bay.
I went out and bought a copy of the constitution . And I believe Professor Tribe is correct about the 14th Amendment , Article 3. 😅
😳 * HIM = Trump ! ! 👍
🥰 The * * Constitution is in the * ENCYCLOPEDIA ! 👍
Truly, I'm shocked at the Colorado judge who found that Trump incited the insurrection against the government, but then concluded that presidents cannot be disqualified by 14A section 3. How can that possibly be so? How?
If the section doesn't apply to a presidential candidate, because that's all Trump is at this point, then who would it possibly apply to? Nutty, this Colorado Judge is nutty...and weak kneed.
Well, 14C3 doesn't include to POTUS under it's grasp. It simply doesn't state the POTUS is included. Consequently, the judge was unwilling to disqualify him. The case will likely be affirmed on appeal. 14C3 was litigated aggressively in the trial, they were unable to show that 14C3 specifically says the POTUS is included in it's list of positions.
why ? it was always obvious that this is where this was going to go . I am an avid never Trumper - but I never thought this was going to work - had the senate upheld his impeachment - as they should have - that would have been a different story. These legal scholars are well regarded but the law is applied in the real world .
sounds like a federalist society judge - don't know if that is true but sure is what it sounds like
It can be so because of a lack of courage on the judge's part.
I tried googling it, but they seem to be keeping it hidden, so I looked up who appointed her and he was a Democrat, I don't know if that really holds any water, but it's something.
Couric was great on network television, but I’m really impressed how she shows off her journalistic talents on her podcast. I hope she hangs around!
Wow! I am a liberal and I really like Professor Tribe...but this interview conducted by Katie Couric is a
shame due to Ms. Couric. Her voice is annoying, her arrogance is annoying, her questions are annoying.
@@janetritchie7499 Oh, no…you got that all wrong. Quit being partisan for like two minutes and you will come to see her for the natural that she is.
@@janetritchie7499😳 “. . . is a ( ? ) “ ! 🥰 Care to finish your comment ? 👍
@@janetritchie7499😳 Well, * Trump is a thousand-times ! 😱 🤯 😤
Laurence Tribe is a long time professor of Constitutional law. He is an expert! ❤❤❤❤
"Totally agree!"💯
Thanks, Katie, wonderful presentation ! ❤️❤️. 🇱🇷🇱🇷💙💙🗽🇱🇷🇱🇷💙💙🗽🇱🇷🇱🇷💙💙🗽🇱🇷🇱🇷
The judges and lawyers are always citing the defendants rights to this and that, what about the peoples rights. ? We have the right not to live in fear for the safety of our judges and witnesses and law, clerks, and ourselves. They keep saying nobody is above the law, but that’s a flat out lie. I want justice I want accountability I want transparency. Thank you for listening to my rant.
Amen and Amen!
And a HALLELUJAH!!!!!
I ALSO 😮
I agree
I don't like what's going on in America right now. A felon running for president?????? SMH
Thank you Katie Couric for addressing this vital issue. I sure hope Prof. Tribe’s remark inspires Chris Christie could take Trump to court. He’s the only candidate who would not pardon Trump.
I really hope you're right. Christie has gone back and forth too much to be relied upon.
Why don’t we have people like Mr tribe on the Supreme Court?
I just love Professor Laurence Tribe! He is so elegant and brilliant in his arguments! 😅❤❤❤❤
Congrats Katie, et al. I think your daughter waiting to be surprised IS WONDERFUL 👏 I wish you all the best.
If Tribe and Luttig agree, there’s gotta be something there.
Well what is there is that they clearly consider Trump a clear and present danger to the country - and this was a way the constitution provides for protection from him . Whether or not people who have been given the responsibility of fulfilling that is very dubious = just look around .
Yes there's something there alright, 2 democrats telling lies again!!
You betcha!
great episode and very true!
Thank you! At last, someone with good sense. I have been saying this all along, but everyone said that I was wrong. Thank you again! Let's stop this madman now.
Thank you for this interview, Katie. You asked the right questions, and Professor Tribe answered with wisdom and clarity, as he always does.
It's great but mo one has tge guts to stop this.idiot, nevermind his senators. Speakers of the of the house that us crazy take it to tge speakers of the the house themselves are as crooked as tgey are, and sone in Congress, speakers if tge house
Omg and Jydge cannon is the worst. Aludo thomas, tonases wife it's taken them 5 years to figure this out? Crap if it was me tgat did tgat I would if been in jail for 3byearsxand mine months. Oh bulk crap trp isxa si k puppy
Authoritarians succeed where the laws and courts show weakness. And the US courts and laws have not reacted decisively. They continue to re-write the laws to accommodate one man! If the judiciary does not face up to this very real threat and apply the laws of the land without fear or favour authoritarianism will take advantage of that weakness
Because the Red Party CAN!!!
Vote true 🔵
14th or not, a criminal should be barred from any office, including the presidency.
What you've said is is true and correct!
Especially the presidency.
He hasn't been convicted...of anything. And he's running.
Criminals can’t vote, but they can become POTUS? WTF?!
Then the Republican Party should close and lock their doors!
Keep up the good work. KATIE
Katie excellent interview. Such a simple articulated breakdown......thank you!
Another wonderful constitutional master class thanks to Professor Tribe.
What a great interview. Thank you so much.
🤗 That was excellent and simple clarity guides the way. He is a national treasure!!! Thank you both so much.
God bless you professor Lawerence and Katie for sharing the truth and standing up for the American people. The world needs it
Katie you are a queen among broadcasters! 😊❤❤❤❤❤
Great presentation by Dr. Tribe, a very knowledgeable expert and, as usual, Katie Couric asks the questions we would ask. Thank you.
Excellent interview, Katie. It's hard to go wrong with Professor Tribe and you asked some great questions. I could listen to him for hours.
When center-left Lawrence Tribe who literally wrote the book on Constitutional Law--we studied from it in law school--and highly respected conservative Federal Judge Michael Luttig agree, its time to pay attention!
YES !! LISTEN TO THESE BRILLIANT TEACHERS
No conservatives left in Red Party. Just Anti-democratic Radicals that HATE ALL Government.
So lucky to have great professors. Congrats. Colleges are under attack and being selectively targeted, just like many cities.💔
Glad Texas House voted down Vouchers. 4th attempt by Gov Abbott and Lt. Gov Patrick. See Project 2025 Heritage to know why Theological Oligarch's are who they answer to🤮
Center left? Center left these days is practically communist.
Excellent job in explaing the issues. Very good & thanks.
Thank you professor 💕👍🙏
Thank you Katie for this interview. And thank you Mr. Tribe for your presenting your learned experience on these matters. I only hope our citizens will vote in 2024 using good judgment. Obviously, past experience has shown a large number of citizens have a limited view of their actions.
On Friday 17th the Colorado Judge found that Trump did engage in insurrection but could remain on the ballot as the 14th amendment does not specifically state "The President".
It will be interesting to see what the Appeal Court makes of that!
They will probably affirm. 14C3 just doesn't state or list the POTUS. It's just that simple. There is reason to believe he MIGHT be included in the admendment but it is simply not clear. if the framers wanted the POTUS to be included that would have stated by title. Simple and clear cut.
@@jamesyoungblood6231 I think "the framers" would have thought it was not conceivable that a person who committed insurrection could possibly run for President!
It seems nonsense to prevent all the other categories from running but deliberately leave out the President.
But I agree, who knows what the Courts will decide.
America appears to have gone INSANE!
@@jamesyoungblood6231hi. Can you please explain this in laymen’s?
@@jamesyoungblood6231 so the POTUS can try to overthrow the government (engage in insurrection or rebellion), but the rest of us can't......OK
Being on the ballot is not the same as being sworn in. Seems to me it's saying an insurrectionist can run all they want but they'll never hold the seat.
Thank you, Professor Tribe, for speaking the truth. And continuing to do so- in the face of the insurrectionists.
Panicking over the release of the J6 tapes yet?
Fedsurrection 😂
Yes
Laurence Tribe is BRILLIANT.VOTE BLUE
Excellent interview!
Perhaps Professor Tribe could explain this to the judge who just ruled yesterday that, although Trump engaged in an insurrection, he is still eligible to be on the ballot.
The rule of law is so important to our society, but sometimes “the law is an ass”.
It's just judicial cowardice! acts like that could loose the US their democracy!!...history will judge them disgracefully!
Scathing decision if 100 pages. Please read. She's done Supreme courts work for them!
There will be an appeal.
That depends on the laws of each state.
Thank you for this discussion. It is very uncomfortable to hear, but absolutely critical to hear and understand.
Oh God I hope not every day
That is truth what professor is stating!!!!
He's running to keep HIMSELF OUT OF PRISON !
EXACTLY. Plans to pardon himself for federal crimes if convicted and is planning to invoke Insurrection Act on Day One of his presidency and wield our military AGAINST HIS ENEMIES.
Susan,EXACTLY
There is no way in a common sense life that this man is eligible to participate in our democracy when he just tried to crush it by not accepting our process after taking a oath of office then using violence. Really?🤔
Tough luck for him. Trump for prison 2024!
😊😅😊😮😢🎉🎉🎉😂❤
Great session Katie & your guest is phenomenal and just in his wisdom on this issue. The threat is obvious. . 👍🏽👍🏽
Easy Peasy🗳️ democracy or dictatorship.
I don't WANT to live in an internment/concentration camp. Does your neighbor or acquaintance?
🗣️🟦🗳️
@@jannichi6431my neighbors wouldn't want to, unfortunately they aren't bright enough to see the warning signs.
When we chat, we can use Trump's own words. Not being an alarmist here. He passes out a token treat to National Guard today, had to wonder if he's thinking 'losers' or next time he wants a soup kitchen if elected in. The cruel hypocrisy and jokes will be saved for his way to Club member owned Mar A Loco.🤬
I believe Professor Tribe is exactly correct & in the court of morality & justice as well, but the judge in Colorado just shot it down, I believe yesterday. He admits Trump was wrong yet moves to leave him on the ballot. How does America hold to its principles when judges like this make these kinds of decisions? One more defeat for the freedom of America & all that it represents. One more judge giving strength to corruption.
Exactly
Anybody can Run ,but Certain individuals are Disqualified for Being in office
This is my thoughts
This needs to be in court ASAP. Do not wait two years to bring this to trial. The court system moves way too slow. This is all legal bull shit if they do not get this to trial.
The most troubling part of the Colorado judge's ruling is that she found that Trump engaged in insurrection yet can still run on the ballot in Colorado. That simple fact shows how broken our system of justice is.
Precedents required, but I get your gist.
@@jannichi6431 and this is why her decision is so sad. She is a coward. She could have set the precedent. It is beyond comprehension how she can say Trump engaged in insurrection and yet he can be on the ballot, when all others that have or would do the same thing cannot be on the ballot. She took the easy way out.
Remember, there is always a first for each precedent. Trump is clearly an elected official, who held office, and swore to uphold the Constitution.
Wow, one person's opinion
@@jamesdavis8731 The Amendment also states those holding military offices, the President is the Commander in Chief of the military.
It further states those giving comfort to insurrectionists.
The Colorado judge found that he did participate in an insurrection. By that ruling, those congressmen and others that also participated, should be disqualified as well.
Whole thing is pretty comical considering the only insurrection is stupidity taking over liberal brains. A guided tour is not an insurrection just cause you don’t like Trump. Sorry
Listening to the lies in this interview is disturbing. Trump never said he would go after his opponents. He said what’s happening now is setting a terrible precedent that future presidents could continue to abuse just like moron Biden is doing now. How much do these guys get paid to sell their souls to the devil by pushing this evil narrative. I pray for this country and everyone suffering from TDS. Katie and this moron are evil. So sad
