This One Thing May Stop Trump From Running For Re-Election
Far-right politicians are dragging America back to the 19th century.
Reproductive rights in Wisconsin are now governed by an abortion law passed in 1849 — and in Arizona, a judge recently reinstated a ban on abortion first adopted in 1864.
Well, if Republicans are so keen to wind back the clock, I suggest reviving a different 19th century provision of the Constitution : Section Three of the 14th Amendment.
It states that, anyone who has taken an oath to protect the Constitution can be barred from holding public office if they “have engaged in insurrection” against the United States.
Sound familiar?
A judge in New Mexico thought so — and recently used it to permanently ban an insurrectionist from ever holding any state or federal office again.
