ANALYSIS – As unhinged Democrats hysterically push to have former President Donald Trump removed from the ballot for supposedly engaging in “insurrection,” one perceptive Supreme Court justice took the next logical step in their fallacious argument.
Two Thursdays ago, Justice Samuel Alito asked if the same Section 3 of the 14th Amendment being used against Trump, could be hypothetically applied by individual states to, say, Joe Biden for giving “aid or comfort to the enemies” of the United States.
As The Blaze reported, Alito asked anti-Trump attorney Jason Murray to consider whether the same section and amendment should disqualify a president who authorizes the massive funding of a country that “proclaims again and again and again” that the United States is its enemy.
Alito asked:
Suppose there is a country that proclaims again and again and again that the United States is its biggest enemy. And suppose that the president of the United States, for diplomatic reasons, thinks that it is in the best interest of the United States to provide funds or release funds so that they can be used by that country.
Could a state determine that that person has given aid and comfort to the enemy and therefore keep that person off of the ballot?
As I have long reported, Iran routinely threatens the United States and attacks U.S. bases and troops through its terror proxies throughout the Middle East.
Just this September, Iran’s president vowed to attack the Americans who ordered and conducted the assassination of Iranian terrorist mastermind Qassem Soleimani. He was killed in 2020 by a Trump-ordered surgical missile strike in Iraq.
And there have been many, many more. The Blaze continued:
Despite such threats, indications that Iran was involved in the Oct. 7 terror attacks on Israel, and warnings from Republicans that the Iranian regime could use the money to increase its funding of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi terrorists, the Biden administration released $6 billion in frozen assets to Iran.
In November, the Iranian regime warned that if the U.S. did not implement a ceasefire in Gaza, it would “be hit hard.”
But even more persuasive than these examples, I would argue, as did Larry Kudlow last week, that by sponsoring over 160 attacks against U.S. military assets, the regime has already declared war against America, at least 160 times.
In a belated response to these attacks, the U.S. executed waves of air and missile strikes earlier this month on Iran-backed terrorist groups. War doesn’t have to be legally declared to exist.
We are de-facto in a state of war with Iran.
So, if we were to apply the same Constitutional standards claimed by the Trump-haters, Biden should be disqualified from the ballot as well, for treason.
Meanwhile, Chief Justice John Roberts expressed concern that if the Democrats’ argument was accepted, states would likely weaponize such a precedent and proceed to remove other candidates off the ballot for myriad of concocted reasons.
Which they would most certainly do.
And let’s also not forget the fact that the Biden Justice Department has not charged anyone with, much less convicted for, insurrection for the events of Jan. 6, especially not Trump.
So, barring that unlikely occurrence, the Democrats literally have nothing for which to disqualify Trump.
