The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'll have to look over the charges again, but it seems remote that the 14th would work, as it would go to this USSC which I think would be inclined to interpret it narrowly. :( Ah well, get out the vote.

Yes, get out the vote. The best way to keep someone from winning an election is to beat them in the election.

The 14th Amendment argument is a sideshow at best, and it runs the very real risk of making it harder for Democrats to win in 2024. One of the more likely outcomes (aside from the court finding a procedural reason to avoid ruling) is a decision that the plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate that the actions the plaintiff's allege Trump committed would not, even if proven, constitute an insurrection or rebellion. Which will be received as, "Court rules January 6th was not an insurrection." Which will severely undermine the Democrats' "We're the save democracy party" framing.
