Nope, I have the ultimate solution that will save both the courts and SCOTUS. The US constitution is recognized by all states this includes the 14th Amendment section 3. The framers made this constitution universal to all state while each state create state constitutions to govern themselves. Hence why there is congress representatives from all states coming together to govern as a whole and individually. When both Colorado and Maine stated that DJT insight the insurrection and was proven by petitioners that he participated, those rulings from both constitutional stood together for once. SCOTUS with this information if they follow HONESTLY and to the letter as it is written then DJT did insight and is in violation of the 14th, then the self executing amendment without question stands. Now let’s say they choose to not go this route and rule they need more evidence, then this move would fall on none other than DA Fani Willis and her RICO case. Why her and not Jack Smith. It shows direct inference with the election, finalize the debunk of a stolen election, tells the story leading up to Jan 6 and all players involved. Then the ball from there will get tossed mid way to Jack Smith with Immunity and Documents case. Both combined will be undoubted evidence of DJT in sighting, aiding and orchestrating the coup attempts of the government. It’s at that moment SCOTUS will have no choice but to side with the courts ruling. Lol Allegedly. Still all conjuncture and as we are taught in college, overwhelming is greater than Assuming.
If Trump isn't kept off the ballot, A14S3 still says he can't hold office. With only two months between the election and the swearing in, if he wins the election how can his eligibility to hold the office be challenged? I'm concerned because the text doesn't say a thing about ballots, it says he can't hold the office, which seems like a big weasel area for the SCOTUS in this case.
When the 14th Amendment was written, the authors of it clearly stated in the Senate that the 14th Amendment clearly applies to the Office of the President, and all other people who take an oath to uphold the US Constitution.

Only one republican has ever won the popular vote in my lifetime, yet half of my lifetime has been subject to Republican presidencies ruining our economy. The electoral college needs to be abolished.
here in the UK we have an electoral commission , an independent body, they oversee all elections , and legal rules are applied all over UK , they are set standard rules applicable to every election......how difficult would it be to bring a body of that nature to the USA , so you have one standard applied to all elections ?????
I don't understand his argument. Even though states run their own elections the constitution says no state can put a 20 year old on their ballot. No state can put a foreigner on their ballot. The third qualifier is that the person can't give aid or comfort to insurrectionist. So how could the supreme court allow a state to put trump on their ballot if he doesn't meet all three qualifiers?
This is going to be a terrible year for Trump and Republicans, hopefully to NOT get re-elected, which is awesome for America and the World. Vote Blue 2024 up and down the ballot.🇺🇲🦅🗽💙🗳️🌍🌊☑️
It's going to be an extremely challenging year for all of us. He's already saying the election will be rigged. EXHAUSTING to have to go through 70 million Americans crying faul again. All because of one mans lie.

@@teresak8530 Oh how you forget, the people did speak clearly and in the 2020 election they said NO in a very big way. I realize it's hard for you to understand, but that is the truth. We said NO once already and there's no reason why we should have to do that a second time.
@@teresak8530feel sorry for you and your blindness to the reality of what DJT is - a liar, malignant narcissist who only cares about himself. You think he REALLY cares about you? Nope - only your vote to make him a dictator.
I definitely enjoy watching these videos and I always feel better informed about the legal issues after watching these breakdowns. I do disagree with him on one point, though. I am one of those people on the left Brian mentioned who doesn't think this is likely going anywhere, and who strongly believes Trump will be on the ballot in all 50 states come November. I realize SCOTUS hasn't always rubber-stamped all of Trump's demands. But I think there's a difference between their having refused to go along with his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and using their power now to effectively remove him as a candidate in 2024. The latter would be a much bigger--and ballsier--step, and I don't think they have it in them to do it. And frankly, I don't think the legal arguments are as strong. I do think there's a good case for saying Trump should be removed from the ballot on grounds of having committed insurrection. But I also think the issue is more complicated than some of its advocates have made it out to be, and certainly I think the case against it is stronger than the case the Trump team made back in 2020-21 that Republican-controlled state legislatures should be given the right to "review" the outcome of the vote in those states. I'm not making myself out to be some kind of prophet; I'm just a guy posting comments on the Internet. I could be wrong, and I'll be pleasantly surprised if I am. Still, for whatever it's worth, it just strikes me as highly unlikely SCOTUS will go along with these efforts.
@@Kylopod sadly- ive been saying as much. From the scandalous SCOTUS, to the constant preferential treatment that trump gets. Nobody really knows how its all gonna play out in the end. Its just comforting to hear experts Attorneys like Glen, the mitus touch crew, and even George Conway- weigh in- share basically the same feelings- that ultimately- trump will be held accountable in the end. Just based on the laws- and evidence. In other words- theyre keeping hope alive lol
Trump plus 1000 court cases - He delays - appeals- delays appeals delays-appeals as long as possible so he’s Never prosecuted or held accountable- His whole life- He’ll be 7 feet under before all the cases are concluded- disgusting human being
My opinion is that if one has over ninety felony charges against them, then they should not be allowed to ever run for any government office. This is simply called "morality."
Millionaires and billionaires purchase senators and representative in Washington DC with petty cash. Billionaires purchase justices on the SCOTUS with millions.
When Glen Kirschner explains and answers Brian TC'c on point and timely questions in a teacherly way we the people out here wipe the clouds away. Thank you both as always.

I'm confused about Glen's statement about limits on creating national standards for all 50 states. We already have 2 standardized ballot qualifications: naturalized citizenship and a minimum age. States can't opt out of those. If the Supreme Court rules that DJT committed insurrection and Article 3 says that is disqualifying, why wouldn't all 50 states recognize that disqualification?
Because it appears that "insurrection" determination is a little more complicated than age and citizenship requirements. If the SC makes a comprehensive decision on Trump's eligibility, yes, it should be adopted by all 50 states, but who knows?
Yes. I really wish newscasters would emphasize the part that comes FIRST - Unfitness for Office! Ergo, taken off the ballot because the candidate will not be installed to an office for which he/she has been deemed unfit. It would be a wasted vote. Another thing that I feel will be very interesting is the quandary of "States Rights" the Supreme Court will have to deal with... If they rule against this State Right.... What about other issues States are given free reign on... Specifically reproductive rights? It will certainly be interesting... And scary, to have this in the corrupt Supreme Court's hands.
@@TML34this becomes sticky under the “self enforcing” view of the fourteenth. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Colorado judge’s interpretation that trump IS an insurrectionist, that should be it. It won’t matter that juries or judges in other states disagree. He IS an insurrectionist in all 50 states if he is one in the eyes of the Supreme Court.
I L❤️VE Glenn Kirschner’s class! What a phenomenal instructor!! Thank you Glenn you restore faith in the Judicial System. I appreciate your great vast knowledge. The fact you can make me understand is extremely enlightening. Thank you 🙏. Now if we could just have you prosecuting trump!!
Then have confidence in them corruptly being self serving in this by ridding themselves of a dangerous rival to their Supreme power. Which only incidentally helps us preserve democracy.
Whatever the Supreme Court decides, they will be screwed. 1. Against Trump. MAGA will make a lot of noise as well as Trump and his cronies. 2. For Trump. Trust in the Supreme Court will go to almost zero for everyone *not* MAGA or Trump. History will determine this to be a worse decision than the SC Dred Scott decision, which contributed to the causes of the Civil War. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dred_Scott_v._Sandford
In this case, I don't believe the SC will rule against their own supreme status and livelihood. They have ruled against IQ45 in the past. With their lifetime appointments, IQ45 has no leverage over those he appointed.
@@Crazycatlady71 More importantly the SCOTUS should be smart enough to realize a man who wants the powers of a dictator has little to no use for ANY court that could hold him to account. They should disqualify Trump on that basis alone. It's called self preservation.
saying it was a dereliction of duty and breaking of his oath, is being generous, it was plainly insurrection by many actions and his inaction, and then add his publicly offering to pay the legal bills and offer pardons to those actually performing those acts, found guilty, pled guilty and in jail, is aid and comfort to the enemy
If the SCOTUS decision is only about Colorado, then won't the SCOTUS be opening themselves up to be asked similar questions another 49 times? What about the next election cycle?
No, if they rule that only CO can do so, then they are saying that it is up to each state to make their own laws on this. If that is the verdict, then as the poster above me said, then watch many other states begin process to do so.
Seems like both are correct. The decision by SCOTUS will provide a roadmap for states to draft legislation that follows these couple of states. The problem is that we're going to find ourselves in chaos if they let states choose who to remove. Which this SCOTUS seems to prefer letting individual states do whatever they want. Tit for tat will become the norm. Legislative is going to have to come up with an unambiguous, universal standard.
They will need to define if the 14th Amendment applies to the President. They should also define what is meant by the term insurrection. They might make a ruling on what constitutes "engaged in" or "gave aid and comfort". They might make a ruling on whether someone needs to be convicted in courts first. That means that some of the arguments will be settled for all states but some might be left open for decisions by individual states.
if it went to congress nothing would happen .... you need 2/3 of the house to overturn the states decision....and no way you get 2/3 of congress to agree on anything
It makes no sense to. Would an election official have to send it to congress if the person running was under 35? I'm sure this corrupt SCOTUS will weasel their way out, though.
@@krisbrisebois4222 That is a huge worry! The GOP can’t even pass simple legislation but if they have to decide any ruling to absolve Trump they will fall over themselves trying to kiss his butt!
Thank both of you gentlemen for all of your efforts and the professionalism you bring to you tube and the United States public hopefully they have been paying attention!!
I've said it before, in my career, I've taken the oath 3 separate times, if you violate that oath, you SHOULD be disqualified from holding any office of public trust!!!!!
I'm so grateful I can come to you 2, Brian and Glenn, for explanations of the insanity going on around us. Without you, I think I'd be going crazy with worry and stress...I still worry, a lot, but you fellas help immensely. Thank you!
Just want to say that Glenn Kirshner is the most clear and concise explainer of legal issues that I've ever seen. Anyone else would need a teleprompter to do what Glenn does with absolute ease. I'd vote for Kirshner as America's next president any time he wants to throw his hat in the ring.
Maybe they are smart enough to save their jobs. Because if tRump takes power they will become useless because we would not need interpretation of the constitution.
Trump is the corrupt one the courts are doing what they’ve always done 😂 and well Trump continues to do what he’s always done be an insufferable man child lol
Glen can get a bit over-wordy, it's true, 😂 but I really do appreciate how he breaks things down to the basics for all us non-lawyers out here trying to stay informed. And Brian, you always ask such great, direct questions that help keep the the conversation focused. I love this series!
It isn’t about Trump or the misuse of the word insurrection. It’s like this: you own a business and your employees (politicians) have locked themselves inside and are now running things, but you’re paying the bills. Even if they are doing wonderful things, do you let them continue to run amok? Or do you break down the door? Remember, for some reason the Press is on their side!
Thank you for explaining the complexities of this issue. I may not understand every single argument but it helps to understand that there are many issues that will need to be addressed. Excellent work.
Unless Trump is specifically charged at a State level with insurrection the lower courts can't rule that he is guilty of insurrection because he was specifically acquitted of the charge of insurrection by the U.S. Congress.
What SHOULD be most telling is that Orange Donnie's legal strategy is NOT to say he didn't do the deeds, but that he can't be held accountable for doing the deeds. Kind of like, "Yeah, I killed Joey Vinicci, but we were on a private boat in international waters."
We can deduce this: the court did not have a majority among those voting members whether to take this case on the issue of simply accepting the decision of Colorado as is. So the majority of voting justices agreed that there needs to be some revision or strong oversight of Colorado's decision. Now that it is under the jurisdiction of the supreme court, it creates the opportunity to form a majority of voting justices to create something different than what Colorado ruled. If you're interested in this court then you know this court and you know what kinds of majorities it can form. Buckle your seat belts
The "supreme" Court needs to remember that it's their job to interpret the law, not to see that Trump gets back on the ballot. They should be reading the plain, intended text of the Constitution and the applicable statutes, not parsing the sentences and ignoring parts they don't like ("A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State.....", for example) to satisfy Trump's quest to move from being our 45th President to our 1st Dictator.
Well put. I bring up the "well regulated militia" part all the time. It is SO obvious what they meant yet the Supreme Court didn't do what was intended. I believe due to the social climate at the time. If we look at this social climate, the USA is a tinderbox. Dangerous times ahead.
A well regulated militia before each state had national guard. Your interpretation of the Constitution is like mine without the twisting of words to fit whichever slot in need for the moment. But maybe and with the help of God, dictators have no use for supreme courts. Hopefully the supreme court didn't make a deal with the devil himself. Hard to tell with Clarence Thomas.
Hi: I’m a British citizen watching this unfold from the (relative) safety of the UK. Could I ask Glenn please: doesn’t the 14th Amendment specify someone who supports an insurrectionist would be barred from office? Whether or not it can be proved DT instigated Jan 6, he has on many occasions been hugely vocal in his support for people who have been criminally convicted of insurrection, even referring to them as hostages, and promising to pardon them. So wouldn’t this be enough in itself to disqualify him from appearing on ballots?
If the Supreme Court judges do not need to have been lawyers or judges to be nominated, perhaps it's the time to get a psychiatrist to become a Justice. There's a lot of insane stuff that is put in front of their eyes.
Regarding whether or not he participated in or instigated an insurrection: If he had wanted to NIT do so, all he had to do was tell those people to stand down and go home, not tell them to fight and say he would be there either them. - - - If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's probably a duck. QUACK!
I love that Glenn feels the Supremes want to be rid of Trump. If they do rule against Trump, that day will become an unofficial holiday where champagne corks will pop for as long as Trump lives. (And I’ll be very curious to know how Clarence Thomas votes on the matter.)
Regarding the Maine situation, how can the SCOTUS rule against the Secretary of State's ruling when the US Constitution gives the State of Maine (and all other States) the right to determine who can or cannot be on an election ballot?
? QUESTION: IF SCOTUS passes on hearing the "immunity" case now for any reason -- such as until after determination by a criminal trial court as to if "45" was engaged in acts of a president or private or criminal acts -- then SCOTUS could take up the "immunity" case later... and hold it until as long as possible -- likely leaving "45" out on bail/bond even longer?
Is Don arguing that a sitting pres can take him out (for drinks) ? Do we really think that Gini Thomas will rule against Don ? No dog house for Clarence.
I really think that for a Federal office. ie President, we need Federal election laws that are the same for all 50 states. I am also tired of the Selective use of the Constitution by the GOP and others, like they selectively use bible verses or looking at it like it is a suggestion, and we can pick and choose whether it's followed and not the law of the land.
I agree with Glenn that there needs to be some standard for determining who is an insurrectionist. Obviously when the 14th amendment was ratified they did not intend it to require a criminal conviction because hundreds of thousands of people fought for the Confederacy and trying all of them would be impossible. So what would it take? Colorado did have a trial and a jury found Trump did engage in an insurrection. In Michigan the Secretary of State did her own investigation and analysis of evidence and ruled Trump was ineligible. And that is subject to a court hearing. But other states were left pondering what to do because but is a very gray area of the law and the constitution and I have no idea how it will be resolved because Congress will not act, the Supreme Court may have limited authority to tell states what they can do, it's doubtful if many state legislatures will take up the issue this year, and after this year hopefully it becomes a non-issue. Until this happens again.
This is exactly the detailed analysis I've been searching for. The Supreme Court can't decide the case in any direction based on the fact that Trump is a front runner in a major political party. Yet that is the reasoning we hear most often from even lawyers in the media. They say this has to be resolved the same for all the states. People "should" be able to vote for their candidate of choice. They forget that this case must address only potential flaws in Colorado's application of their own laws in relation to the constitution. The Supreme Court's ruling needs to be addressed not just about January 6 and Trump, but must be the correct ruling for all possible future more blatant fact patterns. They can't say the Office of the President is not an "office" They can't say old amendments have a shelf life. After all, that amendment was created following the procedures established in constitution. The remedy is to democratically remove the "offending" amendment, not to ignore it because its application creates undesirable outcomes.
The Constitution does not require primaries to be held, so how would SCOTUS be able to constrain states on the interpreting their own independent laws for eligibility in the primaries (provided state law does not infringe on the rights of a protected class or equal protection clause?)
I live in Denmark, Europe and appreciate your honest breakdown of Us law - I'm horrified that how the world's largest economy is aaaaalmost tilted in favor of fascism - I hope and pray that you will hold him or any of the maga republicans out of office :-/
If the supreme court has to do what Glenn is saying ( give the power to the states the right to chose who to be on the ballot in their states) therefore some republican run states may also move to take Biden off their ballot putting forth different claims on how they interpret their laws. It sets the stage for disorder
Yes, the constitution permits the states to administer federal elections however, if a state violates federal law pertaining to an election, for instance, if they violate the voter rights act, which is legislation passed by Congress, then the feds can step in and make a determination regarding that state. If the state does not comply, then the Supreme Court has the authority to rule, in that decision. So no, our constitution does not allow the states to administer elections completely divorced from the federal government.
You are misconstruing the argument pertaining to the officer language. The basic argument is, that the president might be an officer of the United States. However, he is unlike any other officer of the executive branch, he is unique which he is. The office of the president is the route of the executive branch. The argument maintains that any president can be prosecuted for crimes however, that power to prosecute. The president only lies in Congress via impeachment. The impeachment clause is very clear, the House is the prosecutor. The Senate is the jury. Think of it this way, if a court of the judicial branch had the power to convict a president of a crime, they would essentially become the president serving the power of that office when the power to do that is clearly defined in the constitution via impeachment. You understand this clearly, but you failed to hear the argument as it is beingportrayed in reality and you come up with your own fantasy to distract people.
Keep up the good work Brian. I am 🙏 that Joe Biden gets 2nd term. It's to late now the bridge has burn down. Our democracy is at risk of being lost as we know it. We need to vote for Biden. Vote blue🩵💙🩵💙
I too believe the Supreme Court wants to be rid of him, but they're going to tip toe around the decision they NEED to make out of FEAR of the MAGA lunatics.
They will fear that the MAGA Lunatics will show up at their homes. MAGAs can be highly dangerous and violent as we saw with our own eyes! If they do decide to remove donnie from the ballot based on Amendment 14 section 3, they bess arrange for the national guard to protect them before they announce their judgement.

He has already sworn an oath to the Constitution and broken it.

Trump is not only disqualified he should be in prison
Sharing our military secrets with foreign nationals will do it if the RICO charges don't get him first.
For some reason I read that at first as saying "Trump should be disqualified as being a person." Projecting, I suppose. But I'd say both are true.
He belonged in jail in the 70’s. I don’t believe he will ever have to answer for any of his crimes.
Biden should also be in prison.
He's funding Israel with weapons as they continue their genocide.
Long overdue.
The alternative would be to get rid of the electoral colleges and have a federal nationwide popular vote for the POTUS.....
Mske sure to get rid of Gerrymandering too.
Politicians too secure of their seats stop listening to the voters.
Good luck making that happen.
Only one republican has ever won the popular vote in my lifetime, yet half of my lifetime has been subject to Republican presidencies ruining our economy. The electoral college needs to be abolished.

I don't understand his argument. Even though states run their own elections the constitution says no state can put a 20 year old on their ballot. No state can put a foreigner on their ballot. The third qualifier is that the person can't give aid or comfort to insurrectionist. So how could the supreme court allow a state to put trump on their ballot if he doesn't meet all three qualifiers?

But I think there's a difference between their having refused to go along with his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and using their power now to effectively remove him as a candidate in 2024. The latter would be a much bigger--and ballsier--step, and I don't think they have it in them to do it.
And frankly, I don't think the legal arguments are as strong. I do think there's a good case for saying Trump should be removed from the ballot on grounds of having committed insurrection. But I also think the issue is more complicated than some of its advocates have made it out to be, and certainly I think the case against it is stronger than the case the Trump team made back in 2020-21 that Republican-controlled state legislatures should be given the right to "review" the outcome of the vote in those states.
I'm not making myself out to be some kind of prophet; I'm just a guy posting comments on the Internet. I could be wrong, and I'll be pleasantly surprised if I am. Still, for whatever it's worth, it just strikes me as highly unlikely SCOTUS will go along with these efforts.
@@Kylopod sadly- ive been saying as much. From the scandalous SCOTUS, to the constant preferential treatment that trump gets. Nobody really knows how its all gonna play out in the end. Its just comforting to hear experts Attorneys like Glen, the mitus touch crew, and even George Conway- weigh in- share basically the same feelings- that ultimately- trump will be held accountable in the end. Just based on the laws- and evidence. In other words- theyre keeping hope alive lol
There aae two justices who lied their way onto the supreme court and at least two who are clearly corrupt, so finger crossed.
Thank you Brian and Glenn for the valuable service you are providing. I love school.
Trump plus 1000 court cases - He delays - appeals- delays appeals delays-appeals as long as possible so he’s Never prosecuted or held accountable- His whole life- He’ll be 7 feet under before all the cases are concluded- disgusting human being
Exactly! He has been doing the same playbook his whole pathetic life! SAD!
Any agency that sides with the "STINK" man should also be investigated for crimes against our country and our democracy.
Lucky for us, all cases do not need to run their course before he's found guilty in one.
What about Biden and Hillary Clinton?
@@austina4677 What about them? Hillary testified for 11 straight hours! Are you 12? Specify what Biden! 🤡
Thank you for your service to America for getting the truth out.
My opinion is that if one has over ninety felony charges against them, then they should not be allowed to ever run for any government office. This is simply called "morality."
Yes good morals are important in my president
. . . or failing the job interview, big time. BTW, why is there no proper job interview or vetting for POTUS?
Yes allowing a soon to be felon to run for any office is moronic
Get it wrong Supreme Court. Give Americans a reason to remove you.

Billionaires purchase justices on the SCOTUS with millions.
Thank you Glenn Kirschner for the thoughtful, insightful and well researched presentation.

Always love to hear Glenn and BTC's thoughts on any issue. One can only hope the SC will do the right thing.
Trump better Get Ready for the Smackdown
I'm confused about Glen's statement about limits on creating national standards for all 50 states. We already have 2 standardized ballot qualifications: naturalized citizenship and a minimum age. States can't opt out of those. If the Supreme Court rules that DJT committed insurrection and Article 3 says that is disqualifying, why wouldn't all 50 states recognize that disqualification?
Because it appears that "insurrection" determination is a little more complicated than age and citizenship requirements. If the SC makes a comprehensive decision on Trump's eligibility, yes, it should be adopted by all 50 states, but who knows?
It also mentions "rebellion" in the same line. Surely if not insurrection, than clearly rebellion.
Yes. I really wish newscasters would emphasize the part that comes FIRST - Unfitness for Office! Ergo, taken off the ballot because the candidate will not be installed to an office for which he/she has been deemed unfit. It would be a wasted vote.
Another thing that I feel will be very interesting is the quandary of "States Rights" the Supreme Court will have to deal with... If they rule against this State Right.... What about other issues States are given free reign on... Specifically reproductive rights? It will certainly be interesting... And scary, to have this in the corrupt Supreme Court's hands.
@@TML34this becomes sticky under the “self enforcing” view of the fourteenth.
If the Supreme Court agrees with the Colorado judge’s interpretation that trump IS an insurrectionist, that should be it. It won’t matter that juries or judges in other states disagree. He IS an insurrectionist in all 50 states if he is one in the eyes of the Supreme Court.
Glenn's analysis is excellent, thorough and easy to understand.
I L❤️VE Glenn Kirschner’s class! What a phenomenal instructor!! Thank you Glenn you restore faith in the Judicial System. I appreciate your great vast knowledge. The fact you can make me understand is extremely enlightening. Thank you 🙏. Now if we could just have you prosecuting trump!!
Thank you Brian and Glenn for all the effort that goes into this series.
I just have no confidence in this Supreme Court . I wish I did.
Then have confidence in them corruptly being self serving in this by ridding themselves of a dangerous rival to their Supreme power.
Which only incidentally helps us preserve democracy.
Whatever the Supreme Court decides, they will be screwed.
1. Against Trump.
MAGA will make a lot of noise as well as Trump and his cronies.
2. For Trump.
Trust in the Supreme Court will go to almost zero for everyone *not* MAGA or Trump.
History will determine this to be a worse decision than the SC Dred Scott decision, which contributed to the causes of the Civil War.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dred_Scott_v._Sandford
In this case, I don't believe the SC will rule against their own supreme status and livelihood. They have ruled against IQ45 in the past. With their lifetime appointments, IQ45 has no leverage over those he appointed.
@@Crazycatlady71 More importantly the SCOTUS should be smart enough to realize a man who wants the powers of a dictator has little to no use for ANY court that could hold him to account. They should disqualify Trump on that basis alone. It's called self preservation.
Contact President Biden and your senators. Add two more justices to the SCOTUS.
saying it was a dereliction of duty and breaking of his oath, is being generous, it was plainly insurrection by many actions and his inaction, and then add his publicly offering to pay the legal bills and offer pardons to those actually performing those acts, found guilty, pled guilty and in jail, is aid and comfort to the enemy
We like Presidents who DON'T ask for IMMUNITY. Vote Blue in 2024 for Democracy and NOT Facism.🇺🇲🦅🗽⚖️💙🌊☑️🇺🇲
especially if they claim they did nothing wrong.
Are you going to have the same behavior for Biden?
He is giving Israel weapons to genocide the Palestinians.
*ask for immunity FOR EVEN POLITICALLY MOTIVATED MURDER
i like presidents who dont commit insurrection !
Blue is true
_"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."_

It makes me sad that the R's believe that we're the ones being fooled by the "deep state." *Pfffftt*

How apt and how true! Love Mark Twain.
If the SCOTUS decision is only about Colorado, then won't the SCOTUS be opening themselves up to be asked similar questions another 49 times? What about the next election cycle?
Once they rule on Colorado, they also have built a road map for all other states.
Those states will then rule based upon the supreme court guidelines.
No, if they rule that only CO can do so, then they are saying that it is up to each state to make their own laws on this. If that is the verdict, then as the poster above me said, then watch many other states begin process to do so.
Seems like both are correct. The decision by SCOTUS will provide a roadmap for states to draft legislation that follows these couple of states.
The problem is that we're going to find ourselves in chaos if they let states choose who to remove. Which this SCOTUS seems to prefer letting individual states do whatever they want.
Tit for tat will become the norm. Legislative is going to have to come up with an unambiguous, universal standard.
They will need to define if the 14th Amendment applies to the President. They should also define what is meant by the term insurrection. They might make a ruling on what constitutes "engaged in" or "gave aid and comfort". They might make a ruling on whether someone needs to be convicted in courts first.
That means that some of the arguments will be settled for all states but some might be left open for decisions by individual states.
@@mreshadow Not necessarily at all. The judges can rule that removal by any state be by laws ensconced in the constitution or enacted by Congress.
I hope they don’t send it to congress
if it went to congress nothing would happen .... you need 2/3 of the house to overturn the states decision....and no way you get 2/3 of congress to agree on anything
It makes no sense to. Would an election official have to send it to congress if the person running was under 35? I'm sure this corrupt SCOTUS will weasel their way out, though.
@@krisbrisebois4222 That is a huge worry! The GOP can’t even pass simple legislation but if they have to decide any ruling to absolve Trump they will fall over themselves trying to kiss his butt!
They fumbled their one chance on 1/6 with the 7 states' fake Electors.
But expect it to be repeated next November.
Huge thank you guys for preparing and sharing this important information with us! 💙
Thank you thank you, both, for your continued dialogue about this issue. Keep the commentary coming !
Thank both of you gentlemen for all of your efforts and the professionalism you bring to you tube and the United States public hopefully they have been paying attention!!
I really enjoy these in depth discussions on the law in America. I didn't pay any attention until 2015.🇨🇦
I've said it before, in my career, I've taken the oath 3 separate times, if you violate that oath, you SHOULD be disqualified from holding any office of public trust!!!!!
Fascinating to listen to Glen, great information and review
I'm so grateful I can come to you 2, Brian and Glenn, for explanations of the insanity going on around us. Without you, I think I'd be going crazy with worry and stress...I still worry, a lot, but you fellas help immensely. Thank you!
Thank you for getting the truth out as much as possible
Just want to say that Glenn Kirshner is the most clear and concise explainer of legal issues that I've ever seen. Anyone else would need a teleprompter to do what Glenn does with absolute ease. I'd vote for Kirshner as America's next president any time he wants to throw his hat in the ring.
Do go on! I could listen to you for hours Mr Kirschner
Trump is crazy and crazier every day!
He's becoming more dangerous by the day.
Desperation will do that to you.
Send him love letters.
Maybe he will stroke out.
Thank you for The Legal Breakdown!
Doesn't it include aiding, abetting and comforting the insurrectionists as well?
My thoughts exactly
Certainly, referring to them as hostages and claiming that they will be pardoned, should be a huge hint.
Let's hope self-preservation kicks in and the Supreme Court rules that traitors are not allowed on the ballot.
The traitor owns them.
Don't know what I would do without your knowledge Brian and Glenn! Thank you so much!
'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.
Nearing 2,500,000 subscribers-Congrats Brian!!🎉
Not holding my breath for the Supremely Corrupt Court to do the right thing.
Maybe they are smart enough to save their jobs. Because if tRump takes power they will become useless because we would not need interpretation of the constitution.
Trump is the corrupt one the courts are doing what they’ve always done 😂 and well Trump continues to do what he’s always done be an insufferable man child lol
I'm not as optimistic as Glenn is about this. But I hope he is right. It's definitely a pivotal moment in American history for sure.
Glen can get a bit over-wordy, it's true, 😂 but I really do appreciate how he breaks things down to the basics for all us non-lawyers out here trying to stay informed. And Brian, you always ask such great, direct questions that help keep the the conversation focused. I love this series!
Great educational piece guys, as always. America needs your type of civics classes, especially now.
What is the use of the supreme court if thay can do nothing RIDICULOUS 😮😢
It isn’t about Trump or the misuse of the word insurrection. It’s like this: you own a business and your employees (politicians) have locked themselves inside and are now running things, but you’re paying the bills. Even if they are doing wonderful things, do you let them continue to run amok? Or do you break down the door? Remember, for some reason the Press is on their side!
Thank you for explaining the complexities of this issue. I may not understand every single argument but it helps to understand that there are many issues that will need to be addressed. Excellent work.
Good news: The lower courts will have to address the issue of whether Trump was complicit in the insurrection.
Not after he is convicted of it and attempts to run his campaign from Rikers
Unless Trump is specifically charged at a State level with insurrection the lower courts can't rule that he is guilty of insurrection because he was specifically acquitted of the charge of insurrection by the U.S. Congress.
He is author of the insurrection. He interfered with the certification of his successor's victory.
He was already found guilty in the Colorado cases. No criminally, but guilty non the less.
What SHOULD be most telling is that Orange Donnie's legal strategy is NOT to say he didn't do the deeds, but that he can't be held accountable for doing the deeds.
Kind of like, "Yeah, I killed Joey Vinicci, but we were on a private boat in international waters."
No faith in SCOTUS any more.
We can deduce this: the court did not have a majority among those voting members whether to take this case on the issue of simply accepting the decision of Colorado as is.
So the majority of voting justices agreed that there needs to be some revision or strong oversight of Colorado's decision.
Now that it is under the jurisdiction of the supreme court, it creates the opportunity to form a majority of voting justices to create something different than what Colorado ruled.
If you're interested in this court then you know this court and you know what kinds of majorities it can form.
Buckle your seat belts
Glenn makes a very good point that the Supreme Court can disqualify DT from holding office even if he stays on the ballot.
They are chosen to serve, as a servant of that office! By the Constitution, and to have the upmost moral code of human conduct.
SCOTUS might also need to define what giving aid and comfort to insurrectionist means.
Nearly all republican politicians are guilty of that.
Especially marjorie green she needs to be removed right away
Has anyone asked Harlan Crowe where he will tell Clarence Thomas to stand on this issue? Alina Habba has already given Brett Kavanaugh his orders.
Take Alito & Thomas off the Supreme Court
The "supreme" Court needs to remember that it's their job to interpret the law, not to see that Trump gets back on the ballot. They should be reading the plain, intended text of the Constitution and the applicable statutes, not parsing the sentences and ignoring parts they don't like ("A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State.....", for example) to satisfy Trump's quest to move from being our 45th President to our 1st Dictator.
Well put. I bring up the "well regulated militia" part all the time. It is SO obvious what they meant yet the Supreme Court didn't do what was intended. I believe due to the social climate at the time. If we look at this social climate, the USA is a tinderbox. Dangerous times ahead.
A well regulated militia before each state had national guard. Your interpretation of the Constitution is like mine without the twisting of words to fit whichever slot in need for the moment. But maybe and with the help of God, dictators have no use for supreme courts. Hopefully the supreme court didn't make a deal with the devil himself. Hard to tell with Clarence Thomas.
The billionaire-owned Extreme Court has a deal with drump to rubber-stamp him to seem "legit", & they stay in place.
Hi: I’m a British citizen watching this unfold from the (relative) safety of the UK. Could I ask Glenn please: doesn’t the 14th Amendment specify someone who supports an insurrectionist would be barred from office? Whether or not it can be proved DT instigated Jan 6, he has on many occasions been hugely vocal in his support for people who have been criminally convicted of insurrection, even referring to them as hostages, and promising to pardon them. So wouldn’t this be enough in itself to disqualify him from appearing on ballots?
Vote Blue !!!!! 🤯
"A month" is not "lightspeed".
A _week_ would be lightspeed...and I'm _so. sick. of WAITING._
If the Supreme Court judges do not need to have been lawyers or judges to be nominated, perhaps it's the time to get a psychiatrist to become a Justice. There's a lot of insane stuff that is put in front of their eyes.
Glenn should be on SCOTUS
Clear and compelling
Regarding whether or not he participated in or instigated an insurrection:
If he had wanted to NIT do so, all he had to do was tell those people to stand down and go home, not tell them to fight and say he would be there either them.
- - -
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's probably a duck.
QUACK!
I love that Glenn feels the Supremes want to be rid of Trump. If they do rule against Trump, that day will become an unofficial holiday where champagne corks will pop for as long as Trump lives. (And I’ll be very curious to know how Clarence Thomas votes on the matter.)
I had noticed that SCOTUS had declined many Trump cases over the last couple years. Hope our good Glenn is right!
Dictators also don't need calendars. Ask anyone in a country run by a dictator - that Day One lasts a lot longer than one calendrical day.
His first order of business is to extend his "first day" indefinitely. He will still be on his first day in 5 years...
You idiots didn’t even watch the interview. I don’t like him either, but 10 seconds later he said he was joking and clarified the joke.
Vote.👍💙💙🙏
This is so crazy, how can they allow states to choose? This is insanity. Playing Russian Roulette.
POTUS is Commander in Chief of the military. So, the argument of whether he/she is or isn’t an officer is straightforward. They are.
ALL the states are subject to the Constitution.
Regarding the Maine situation, how can the SCOTUS rule against the Secretary of State's ruling when the US Constitution gives the State of Maine (and all other States) the right to determine who can or cannot be on an election ballot?
@james-rd4dq
Billionaire-owned Extreme Court.
I want it over. Bloody hell.
State right should yield to the constitution when is comes to nominating federal officials. Unless the chaos within the country is the intend.
? QUESTION: IF SCOTUS passes on hearing the "immunity" case now for any reason -- such as until after determination by a criminal trial court as to if "45" was engaged in acts of a president or private or criminal acts -- then SCOTUS could take up the "immunity" case later... and hold it until as long as possible -- likely leaving "45" out on bail/bond even longer?
Is Don arguing that a sitting pres can take him out (for drinks) ? Do we really think that Gini Thomas will rule against Don ? No dog house for Clarence.
I really think that for a Federal office. ie President, we need Federal election laws that are the same for all 50 states. I am also tired of the Selective use of the Constitution by the GOP and others, like they selectively use bible verses or looking at it like it is a suggestion, and we can pick and choose whether it's followed and not the law of the land.
It's going to be a huge let down when Trump gets off all 91 charges. You heard it first here.
Not a chance. Wont happen. This time next year most charges will have convictions.
@@thornyturtleranch4u Even if they have convictions, he'll get off lightly, certainly no jail time.
I agree with Glenn that there needs to be some standard for determining who is an insurrectionist. Obviously when the 14th amendment was ratified they did not intend it to require a criminal conviction because hundreds of thousands of people fought for the Confederacy and trying all of them would be impossible. So what would it take? Colorado did have a trial and a jury found Trump did engage in an insurrection. In Michigan the Secretary of State did her own investigation and analysis of evidence and ruled Trump was ineligible. And that is subject to a court hearing. But other states were left pondering what to do because but is a very gray area of the law and the constitution and I have no idea how it will be resolved because Congress will not act, the Supreme Court may have limited authority to tell states what they can do, it's doubtful if many state legislatures will take up the issue this year, and after this year hopefully it becomes a non-issue. Until this happens again.
Why can't the gov make some laws to to prevent someone from using running for election clearlyto prevent prosecution?
This is exactly the detailed analysis I've been searching for. The Supreme Court can't decide the case in any direction based on the fact that Trump is a front runner in a major political party. Yet that is the reasoning we hear most often from even lawyers in the media. They say this has to be resolved the same for all the states. People "should" be able to vote for their candidate of choice. They forget that this case must address only potential flaws in Colorado's application of their own laws in relation to the constitution. The Supreme Court's ruling needs to be addressed not just about January 6 and Trump, but must be the correct ruling for all possible future more blatant fact patterns. They can't say the Office of the President is not an "office" They can't say old amendments have a shelf life. After all, that amendment was created following the procedures established in constitution. The remedy is to democratically remove the "offending" amendment, not to ignore it because its application creates undesirable outcomes.
The Constitution does not require primaries to be held, so how would SCOTUS be able to constrain states on the interpreting their own independent laws for eligibility in the primaries (provided state law does not infringe on the rights of a protected class or equal protection clause?)
I live in Denmark, Europe and appreciate your honest breakdown of Us law - I'm horrified that how the world's largest economy is aaaaalmost tilted in favor of fascism - I hope and pray that you will hold him or any of the maga republicans out of office :-/
We are trying, most of us arent crazy and most of us know about adolf hitler and fascist germany of history.
If the supreme court has to do what Glenn is saying ( give the power to the states the right to chose who to be on the ballot in their states) therefore some republican run states may also move to take Biden off their ballot putting forth different claims on how they interpret their laws. It sets the stage for disorder
America has "constitutional scholars" that let this happen with Trump. So there goes their credibility. Out the door!
He needs to be in prison
Great. . SCOTUS is kicking the can then
Exactly 👍
Yes, the constitution permits the states to administer federal elections however, if a state violates federal law pertaining to an election, for instance, if they violate the voter rights act, which is legislation passed by Congress, then the feds can step in and make a determination regarding that state. If the state does not comply, then the Supreme Court has the authority to rule, in that decision. So no, our constitution does not allow the states to administer elections completely divorced from the federal government.
You are misconstruing the argument pertaining to the officer language. The basic argument is, that the president might be an officer of the United States. However, he is unlike any other officer of the executive branch, he is unique which he is. The office of the president is the route of the executive branch. The argument maintains that any president can be prosecuted for crimes however, that power to prosecute. The president only lies in Congress via impeachment. The impeachment clause is very clear, the House is the prosecutor. The Senate is the jury. Think of it this way, if a court of the judicial branch had the power to convict a president of a crime, they would essentially become the president serving the power of that office when the power to do that is clearly defined in the constitution via impeachment. You understand this clearly, but you failed to hear the argument as it is beingportrayed in reality and you come up with your own fantasy to distract people.
States need to obey the constitution however they do it The supreme court should surely point this out.
Keep up the good work Brian.
I am 🙏 that Joe Biden gets 2nd term.
It's to late now the bridge has burn down. Our democracy is at risk of being lost as we know it. We need to vote for Biden. Vote blue🩵💙🩵💙
I too believe the Supreme Court wants to be rid of him, but they're going to tip toe around the decision they NEED to make out of FEAR of the MAGA lunatics.
They have life tenure. They don’t fear not being re-elected like the republicans in congress.
WHAT FEAR?Were they afraid of overturning 50 years of law for him.They dont fear Maga ,they are Maga!
He OWNS them. He will keep them in place to rubber-stamp his dictates so they'll look "legit".
They will fear that the MAGA Lunatics will show up at their homes. MAGAs can be highly dangerous and violent as we saw with our own eyes! If they do decide to remove donnie from the ballot based on Amendment 14 section 3, they bess arrange for the national guard to protect them before they announce their judgement.
They should fear even more the wrath of the rest of us who demand that justice be served if they let him off.
Court remedy lock him up
14th Amendment/Article 3. Period, end of story!
I have absolutely zero faith in the US Supreme Court and that they will do the right thing.
