Kaine eyes next week to file censure aiming to bar Trump from future office
By Jordain Carney - 01/28/21 03:50 PM EST

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said Thursday that he is looking at next week to file his resolution to formally condemn former President Trump and try to bar him from holding future office.

Kaine is still gathering input but has drafted a resolution that would formally censure Trump. It also includes provisions that would mirror language in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment on barring officials from holding future office.

"In a way I view it as kind of censure-plus because it has these two factual findings that could have the same consequence as an impeachment conviction," Kaine said. "It's not just, 'hey you did those things and that's bad.' "

Kaine added that the language in the resolution — which he noted was technically a condemnation resolution — would have "practical consequences" if Trump runs for office again, something he's flirted with.

In addition to condemning Trump, the resolution makes two findings, according to Kaine: that Jan. 6 was an insurrection and that Trump gave "aid and comfort to the insurrection."

Tim Kaine holds the distinction of being the second stupidest Senator in Congress.  He should be expelled from office for violating his oath to uphold the Constitution.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

A "resolution"?
What power of enforcement does THAT have?

In any case, this sounds like a Bill of Attainder.
Unconstitutional on its face.

Now, being stupid is not a crime.

Violating the Constitution is a crime.

1. This proves that Shampeachment 2.0 was/is entirely about precluding Trump from running for POTUS in 2024. The shampeachment violates the constitutional definition of an impeachment, and Roberts' refusal to play their game also means the shampeachment show-trial is constitutionally irrelevant.

2. Whatever resolution they concoct would all but certainly be "swiftly" shit-canned by courts, and invocation of the 14th Amendment will result in laughter.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
