Those opposed to the use of the 14th Amendment Article? in keeping Trump off the ballot can't or

will not read. It is right there and plain as day if you violated your oath to support the Constitution and
took part in an intersection against America you can’t hold elected office. Trump, “Be there it will
be wild” or to the attorney for Georgia’s Sec. of State, “You should hold off on certifying the vote because
big things will be happening on Jan. 6th.” (rough quote)

Oh well I never thought I would see the SCOTUS rule that it was OK to not count the legal votes of
the American People.

It says Congress is responsible for enforcement of the amendment by passing legislation. They never have.

As per article 5, Congress, and our Democracy “they” don’t care they are Christo Fascists who
care about power and making the “lib-tards” sad. Many of them are so warped by right wing/
Russian and their family/friends that death alone will stop the neurons in their brains from
firing as they do.

And it certainly will not hold up in court. There have been 150 years of Congresses since the 14 A was put in. None of them have passed any enforcement legislation on the topic. I doubt they all have been "Christo Fascists".
