Democrats are using the 14th Amendment to threaten Republican candidates
By Renee Parsons

As the midterm 2022 elections approach, the expectation is that, with thirty Democratic House retirements and the continued unraveling of the Biden Administration, the Dems are about to experience historic losses in both the House and Senate.

However, the evil geniuses within the Democratic party have identified the Fourteenth Amendment as a vehicle to thwart Republican dreams of achieving a massive political realignment. Therefore, it may be shortsighted to count the one-time party of Jefferson as down-and-out until the last glimmering frenzy has been extinguished.

In 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment was amended to add Section 3, also known as the Disqualification Clause. It holds that no member of Congress or a state legislature “shall have engaged in an insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” In other words, any such official who swore to uphold the US Constitution may be banned from holding public office if engaged in what might be defined as an “insurrection” or “rebellion.”

A protest is not an insurrection.

Yet one more reason why the 14th Amendment was amongst the worst enacted, and should be repealed in its entirety.

Actually, every amendment after the twelfth should be repealed, as well...

I'd leave the 22nd and 27th. (20th, largely being a procedural issue, can stay, too.)

...and as a matter of practicality, you're never repealing the 13th. Bringing back slavery is a non-starter and you'd have to be insane to even suggest it.

Republicans best get smart, starting with McConnell.  January 6th was NEVER an insurrection.  If Americans amounted a real insurrection, some number of elected officials would have been shot or imprisoned with the effort to bring forth a new government.  At no time on January 6th was it the mission of those in Washington to end the current government.  So what f***ing insurrection?  The Dems are idiots.  But then, for most of us, they were that long before January 6th.

I consider Dem leadership traitors to the USA, and fully deserving of being indicted for such.
