The 14th amendment isn’t a forgotten snippet of the Constitution. It’s a well-known and important amendment. It came to my mind immediately as I watched the insurrection in real time.

The 14th amendment was one of the post civil war amendments designed to protect us against exactly the kind of sh!t that Donald Trump and his treasonous co-conspirators unleashed.

In this case, the survival of representative government depends on its enforcement. Its full enforcement.

The standard in the amendment does not limit disqualification to active Insurrectionists. It is explicitly extended to those who provide aid and comfort to Insurrectionists. That would include more than 100 members still serving in Congress.

No, merely defeating Trump in an election would leave our country terribly vulnerable to a repeat performance by another thug.

We MUST enforce that amendment.
