Insurrection - an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority of a nation-state or other political entity by a group of its citizens or subjects; also, any act of engaging in such a revolt.
Sedition - overt conduct, such as speech or organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or insurrection against, established authority.
All I know? If any one of you. Think how all that went down? A dam disgrace a disrespect. e US CONSTITUTION. your as UNAMERICAN as it getFor ths. No matter what political affiliation you may be. Or just whatever.
Let's talk for a second about you acting like a seems you are not acting.
You want to talk or try to to talk about the constitution when you know nothing about it.
Let me give you some facts about the constitution.
When the Civil War ended in 1865, the 76-year-old Constitution needed an upgrading and those leading the country did indeed dramatically transform it with the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, known collectively as the Reconstruction Era amendments. The 13th (1865) abolished slavery, while the 15th (1870) gave voting rights to newly freed Black men.
However, it was the 14th Amendment, first drafted in 1866 and ratified in 1868, that would prove the most far-reaching and that today sits all too squarely between Donald and his white nationalist and authoritarian dreams. While much attention has been rightfully focused on its "insurrection" clause (Section 3) and whether, thanks to it, Trump should be allowed to hold office, given his role in the January 6 attempted insurrection at the US Capitol, his actions are also at odds with other key provisions of that amendment.
No surprise then that, in his adult life, including as president, he's staked out positions and advocated policies that distinctly conflict with the letter of, and the tone of, the 14th Amendment.
Mind you, he's brazenly violated other parts of the Constitution as well, including the "emoluments" clause of Article 1, Section 6, and the "appropriations" clause of Article 1, Section 9. The foreign emolument section states that, without congressional assent, neither the president nor other office holders can "accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
"Trump's businesses received at least $7.8 million in payments from foreign governments and government-backed entities from 20 countries," in itself adding up to a set of gifts (or do I mean grifts?) of historic proportions. Moreover, that figure is undoubtedly a significant underestimate of what he actually received. According to reporting by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Trump's businesses took in more than $160 million from international sources during his presidency.
Section 1 of the 14th Amendment also guarantees "due process" and "equal protection under the laws." That "due process" clause was specifically meant to stop Southern whites who returned to power in the post-Civil War era from passing state laws and enacting other policies that would legally treat newly freed Blacks differently. In the immediate aftermath of the war, however, "Black codes" were indeed enacted by pro-slavery whites in Southern legislatures. As a result, Congress felt called upon to pass laws, known as the Enforcement Acts, meant to ensure that the 14th and 15th amendments would be the law of the land and that the rights of Black people would be protected.
Trump, however, has demonstrated strikingly little fealty to the principle of due process for all. From his 1989 call for the death penalty for five young Black and brown men before they even had a trial to his threatening insistence that Hillary Clinton and others of his political opponents be jailed based purely on personal grievances and vendettas, he's never faintly respected the constitutional rights of others. He's called for protesters to be beaten at his rallies and mused that Black Lives Matter activists should be shot in the legs at demonstrations.
When it came to foreign policy and immigration policy, his administration (with his fervent backing) separated children from their parents in a fierce crackdown on undocumented aliens, while he demanded a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the U.S." In addition to the racism and cruelty of such policies, they plainly violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
From the day Donald took office, he had no intention to "preserve, protect, and defend," no less "support" the Constitution. Instead, he essentially ran roughshod over much of that document. And the issue was never simply his ignorance of the Constitution (though that should be taken for granted), but his outright hostility to it. That he has not yet been held accountable for that should be considered a disgrace in this era and will undoubtedly be seen as such by generations to come.
In a sense, it couldn't be simpler. Donald was an officer of the United States who incited and engaged in insurrection and so should be disqualified from ever again holding the office of the presidency.
