Thomas is going hard on @CREWcrew but the counsel's reply is the right one. Even former confederate states weren't brazen enough to fly in the face of this restriction. Thomas is asking for something he knows does not exist to help Trump. He and Alito are in the bag for the former pres.
@JRobFromMN@RWPUSA No I’m not but a court may interpret S.3 as saying that candidates seeking office after taking an oath who gave comfort to insurrectionists are barred from the ballot w/out conviction. I think enforcing S.3 is part of what the courts will decide. Thanks for the discussion Jason.
@JRobFromMN@RWPUSA Section 5 vests authority in Congress also - not only. The Constitution is enforced by judicial branch. Section 3 can be enforced by a court and then Congress can remove the disqualification by 2/3’rds vote of each chamber. Atleast how I learned it in law school and for the bar.
