Rep. Jamie Raskin Leads Charge To Fight Supreme Court’s Ruling On Allowing Trump On Ballot

When the Supreme Court issued it’s verdict Monday of 9-0 in favor of allowing Trump on the ballot, liberals everywhere were in an uproar.

And the Democrat that is taking the charge forward against the Supreme Court ruling is none other than Representative Jamie Raskin. Who’s surprised?

He went onto CNN to proclaim that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified from being President.

When will we have a hearing to determine that January 6 wasn’t an insurrection and finally put an end to that lie?

So what’s Raskin’s plan?

To use the 14th Amendment to stop Trump. What a joke.

Raskin: SCOTUS ‘Punted‘ on Trump Ballot — ‘It‘s Up to Congress to Act‘ https://t.co/oDn33ztH7G via @BreitbartNews

The New York Post reports:

Former President Donald Trump escaped ballot exile in Colorado on Monday thanks to the Supreme Court — but Rep. Jamie Raskin wants Congress to step in and dump the former president.

Raskin (D-Md.), the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, is hatching plans to revive legislation he crafted that could jettison Trump from the ballot due to his actions revolving around Jan. 6, 2021.

“In any event, the Supreme Court punted and said it’s up to Congress to act,” Raskin told CNN Monday after the high court’s ruling.

“I am working with a number of my colleagues, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swalwell, to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.”

In a unanimous ruling Monday, the Supreme Court concluded that Colorado lacked the authority to unilaterally yank him from the primary ballot under the Disqualification Clause in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Four of the justices fussed over some of the broad language in the majority opinion, which effectively punted the question to Congress.

“Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse,” the court concluded.

Raskin, an alumna of Harvard Law School underscored that he disagrees with the court’s interpretation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, arguing that other aspects of the amendment are known to be “self-executing.”

We all cope with grief in our own way. Rep. Jamie Raskin deals with the 9-0 SCOTUS ruling by rushing onto CNN to say he and Fang Fang buddy Eric Swalwell are working on legislation to be able to remove Trump from the ballot via Congress.

Anyone else feel that the Democrats are panicking?

It’s as if they know Trump will return and for some reason that’s not good news for them.

What are they so afraid of?

There really is no bigger liar in Congress than Jamie Raskin – and that’s saying something https://t.co/IUt9zwwCZj
