Nothing says Democracy like keeping someone's name off the ballot
Except it's right there in the 14th Amendment, which righties despise. They only care about the 2nd and the 10th.
Only makes sense, when one is anti-Democracy in US Rep's clothing.Nothing says Democracy like keeping someone's name off the ballot
Amendment XIV, sec 3What right there, how exactly is Jim Jordan ineligible to run
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
I'm thinking you should first prove that Jordan "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." Otherwise you have no ability to prevent him from running for office.It's not a question whether or not Rep Jordan has been seditious towards our US Government but what legal/legit actions are now needed to seal the deal based on his alleged violation(s) and the 14th Amendment?

Hometown Stations (WLIO) in Lima, Ohio, reported on Saturday that Democratic demonstrators gathered outside Jordan's office and demanded he be removed from the ballot over his actions related to January 6. They argued that Ohio's Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, can remove the GOP congressman from the ballot—citing the 14th Amendment, Section 3.
"Frank LaRose can disqualify him from being on the ballot," Taft Mangas, an organizer of the anti-Jordan rally, told the local news channel. "He needs to take a look at this and do what is right and make sure that the people that are running for office are actually qualified to run for office. That they are legitimately allowed to run for office."
The 14th Amendment, Section 3 states:
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

He should be. You can't try to overthrow the government and then run for office in it. It's right there in the constitution.It's not a question whether or not Rep Jordan has been seditious towards our US Government but what legal/legit actions are now needed to seal the deal based on his alleged violation(s) and the 14th Amendment?

I thought you conservative types were Constitutionalists.Nothing says Democracy like keeping someone's name off the ballot

Ain't nuthin' there says he gotta be convicted first.I'm thinking you should first prove that Jordan "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." Otherwise you have no ability to prevent him from running for office.
Let me know when he has been convicted. Then I'll answer your poll.
Because of his actions before, during, and after the January sixth insurrection.Which is why I was asking how this applies to Jim Jordan
Because of his actions before, during, and after the January sixth insurrection.
More weak sauce response. That is why the democrats will be annihilated this November election.How do the laws barring people who engage in insurrection, stop rebel leaders like Jim Jordan? Everyone knows what Jim did is rebellion, not insurrection.
You know, like how confederates were rebels against the concept of blacks that shouldn't be slaves in perpetuity.
Jim is that kinda rebel.
They are just doing what they have been told to do!Which actions?
This is the problem with the conditionally illiterate and willfully ignorant. You don't know how to articulate how you think the constitution applies to Jim Jordan nor do you understand the mechanism on how that section on the constitution is applied, hint its not banning someone from the ballet.
If you can't prove he engaged in those things, then you cannot invoke that amendment.Ain't nuthin' there says he gotta be convicted first.

When people commit heinous crimes they shouldnt be on the ballot. Simple.Nothing says Democracy like keeping someone's name off the ballot
