In reply to the discussion: "When You Say Trump Should Be Allowed to Run for Office, You Sound Like a Fucking Idiot" [View all]AlexSFCA
(6,139 posts)26. most people never read the constitution
trump quite literally organized Stop the Steal riot with the goal to overthrow peaceful transition of power - insurrection. He had both criminal intent and organizing a rally in a very public way. Supreme Court is gonna struggle with this. Also, if not for capitol police officers (some dead), trump
may have succeeded in this insurrection with multiple congresspeople executed. His 2nd term would be very different with only singular goal to destroy democracy. This means instead of Bill Bahr he would be hiring people like Vivek who vowed to get rid of FBI on day 1. Eliminate FBI and replace military commander with trump loyalists, etc. All can be done under martial law needed to remove all undocumented people.

Since Section 3 precedes section 5. My reading is based on an election in progress.
