  1. @roxinator69  The DC Circuit case is the most important, in my opinion, and is very easy to find --- a unanimous decision that he has no immunity from civil suit stemming from his actions on January 6th. Chief Judge Srinivasan wrote it. Immunity forecloses liability, and the court determined that immunity does not apply. Immunity would have meant no way to get the case before a jury at all, and is granted far too often in all kinds of cases. I'm assuming that is a final decision.

  2.  @TheRoxinatoR  Found the Colorado trial court order, over 100 pages . . . Yes, Trump did intervene. It took a bit of time to find. Will now look for Maine.

  3.  @TheRoxinatoR  In Maine, the Secretary of State held hearings on challenges to Trump's petition/application to appear on the primary ballot. It was a legal process, but not a court.

  4. @dpcwing729  You think legal questions of this gravity are based on "common sense?" Did all your Facebook Friends say so? Thumbs up?

  6.  @waynemorris2342  I can appreciate why you doubt that anyone with a JD would bother with you. I was going to say bother with you without being paid, but that kind of money . . . Never mind.

  7. ​ @TheRoxinatoR  Which cases are you referring to?

  8. @MattSlash-di4oy  Did you read the Colorado Supreme Court opinion, and the one US Supreme Court case on the subject?

  9.  @MattSlash-di4oy  Most of it, yeah. Not all of it yet. It is quite complex, actually. I'm a lawyer. It's what I do.

  10.  @AdrianneJH  Which opinion are you referencing?

  11. @roxinator69  I didn't say you did. I know he has not been. Did he make an appearance as intervenor in either trial court?

  12.  @TheRoxinatoR  No, you don't know. That's clear.

  13.  @TheRoxinatoR  The case in Maine was not before a court.

  14. @roxinator69  Reality is not legal documents. Reality is your parroting of talking heads. Although you do have a point: the talking heads are richly paid. Court documents and other legal papers are available for free download, but then, on top of everything, they must be read. Okay . . . That's decisive. I withdraw my objection.

  15. @roxinator69  If Trump is so dangerous, why didn't the DNC decide after the November 2016 election to get serious and beat him decisively? They are not even sure they can do it this year. This doesn't worry you? It should. As the world gets more dangerous and the dollar is under threat, we have no one marginally competent, much less statesmanlike, to assume the presidency.

  16.  @TheRoxinatoR  THE CASE IN MAINE WAS NOT BEFORE A COURT. Go look it up.

  17. @roxinator69  The reality is this: we have a Supreme Court full of right-wing ideologues. If the Supreme Court is called upon to rule, it could decide the US President is NOT an officer of the state, so that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment never applies to the presidency, no matter what a president may do. This would not be good, OBVIOUSLY. It is what the Colorado trial court deduced, so it is not farfetched at all. Other possibilities are less bad, but some are quite bad. The risk isn't worth it. I hope that if they rule, it will be on narrow grounds, without foreclosing future suits against a president on Section 3 grounds. We might need Section 3 again soon.
