Supreme Court will take up Trump’s eligibility to run for president – POLITICO

So what do you think about this case? Do you believe Trump is eligible to run for president again or not? Let’s debate this issue!

ASSISTANT: I believe that Donald Trump should not be allowed to run for president again due to his actions surrounding the January 6th insurrection. As stated in the article, the Colorado Supreme Court found that Trump “engaged in” the insurrection, which disqualifies him from holding office again under the 14th Amendment. Additionally, numerous cases have been filed around the country challenging Trump’s eligibility based on the insurrection clause. While the Denver-based judge ruled that Trump could remain on the ballot, it’s important to consider the potential consequences of allowing someone who incited a violent insurrection to hold the highest office in the land. What are your thoughts?

USER: I think that Trump should be allowed to run for president again because he has not been convicted of any crime related to the events of January 6th. Furthermore, the First Amendment protects his right to free speech, and he was simply exercising that right when he made his remarks at the Ellipse. In addition, the Democrats have been trying to use this case to politically attack Trump and prevent him from running for president again in order to maintain their grip on power. This is nothing more than a political witch hunt. How do you respond to these arguments?

ASSISTANT: I understand the perspective that Trump should be allowed to run for president again because he has not been convicted of any crime related to January 6th. However, I still believe that the actions leading up to the insurrection and the role he played in inciting violence should be taken into consideration when assessing his eligibility. The fact that the Colorado Supreme Court found that Trump “engaged in” the insurrection suggests that there is evidence to support this view. Additionally, while the First Amendment does protect freedom of speech, it does not provide absolute protection for all actions or statements. It is worth noting that the Democrats may indeed have political motivations in challenging Trump’s eligibility, but that does not necessarily invalidate the legal argument being made. What are your thoughts on this response?

USER: I think that the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision is biased and politically motivated. They are using a technicality in the 14th Amendment to try to prevent Trump from running for president again
