If that's the case, then things will eventually lead to another world war. A country as powerful as the US deciding to go full-fascist, will not be tolerated by other world powers for long.

Actually, the way they worded that decision made it sound like they wanted to hear how they would go about doing this..."legally". Meaning, what rationale could they come up with, that wouldn't violate the 14th amendment. They are willing to entertain arguments to that effect, but aren't just going to sign off on a direct violation of the Constitution.

This latest outline from the Trump administration doesn't do that. It just elaborates on what they would do, if they were allowed to proceed, anyway. But it says nothing about how they would actually circumvent the 14th amendment.

And at some point, you will also get civil war. It's one thing for Trump to use legal slight-of-hand to look for loopholes in the Constitution...but it's another thing entirely for him to simply violate it.

There is nothing in the legal framework of the United States that allows any president to simply overrule a Constitutional amendment. The 2nd amendment exists to protect the others from an autocratic tyrant.

That doesn't explain how they plan to get around the 14th amendment, though. It just outlines what they plan to do, once they have.

None of that explains how they plan to get around the Constitution, though...which is very clear in its interpretation.

Still can't hear yourself, right now...can you?

Man, if you don't even have the self-awareness to see what you just wrote, then there is no point in talking to you.

So, you're an abelist now, too? Wow. Keep digging...let's see how far down the bigoted rabbit-hole you'll go to prove everyone else is a bigot. Please, go on.

Do you mean, has a Republican state government ever been replaced by a Democratic majority? Not in recent history...at least as far as I can remember.

Or do you mean, has one state ever tried to sue another state, over the way they manage their own election infrastructure? The answer to that would be "no". They can't. Each state controls its own elections.

Republican states have recently tried to sue Democratic states for making it too easy for people to vote in Federal elections...but not the other way around. Those lawsuits never went to court, due to the fact that they had no legal merit.

Lol! You guys are hilarious.

Lol! What are you even talking about? What "coincidence" are you even trying to highlight? That the US has always tried to associate itself with the Roman Empire? Ummm, yeah. That's not a coincidence. They did that quite intentionally. And almost two hundred years before the Nazis came around.

This is like talking to a numerologist. You can just keep moving numbers around and making up new meanings for every pattern. It will always show you whatever you want to see.

Technically, yes...but we'll allow it, because fuck T-Mobile. Carry on the wayward, son.
