Legal scholars increasingly raise constitutional argument that Trump should be barred from presidency
Reply in thread
On what basis should he not be allowed?
Well, this is what the US constitution says:
Amendment XIV, Section 3.
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.
The question is whether those words apply to his actions, and who exactly has the responsibility to interpret them.

On Street View, the sign says "No patient drop-offs. Pick up only for surgery center." What a convenient policy if you don't want to risk getting medical patients in your medical building.

They should just turn the back of the plane into a ball pit and chuck all the kids back there before takeoff. The larger ones can take care of the babies.

It's generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don't want banned.

DNC should just pick Jon Stewart or Tom Hanks or somebody. The previous president demonstrated that there are no qualifications beyond people liking you.

Well that settles it, Russia. The rules say you have to go home and start a new invasion. Be sure to pick up any mines you may have left.

Wikimedia Foundation calls on US Supreme Court to strike laws that threaten Wikipedia

These laws expose residents of Florida and Texas who edit Wikipedia to lawsuits by people who disagree with their work
If that quote it accurate, then it doesn't matter where Wikipedia itself is based.
