Fuck yeah! Let’s go fucking crazy and debunk some bullshit claims made by those clowns in Trump’s legal team. They’re trying to say that the president isn’t an “officer” of the US, like they give a shit about the Constitution or anything. Well, fuck them! The Colorado Supreme Court just blew up that claim with a “treasure trove” of documents proving otherwise.
They based their ruling on a post-Civil War provision of the Constitution that bars anyone who participated in insurrection or rebellion from holding public office. And let’s not forget that Trump himself incited a riot at the Capitol, so he fits the bill perfectly. The states highest court overturned a prior ruling in which a judge asserted that while Trump had engaged in insurrection, he was exempt from the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment because it doesn’t apply to the presidency. Fuck that noise!
The language in the Constitution clearly states which “officers of the United States” should be granted certain privileges, such as the ability to send mail by their signature rather than by postage. Both the president and vice president are listed as officers of the United States. There are also presidential proclamations written by President Andrew Johnson, who was in office during the drafting and ratification of the 14th Amendment, that support this argument.
So there you have it folks – Trump’s lawyers can suck it. The man is an officer of the United States whether he likes it or not, and he should be held accountable for his actions just like anyone else. Let’s see how well they manage to wiggle out of this one… 🖕🏻
