Leftist Lawyers Push Congress To Reject Trump, Betraying American Voters

Two leftist lawyers are urging Congress to overturn the will of the American people by blocking the certification of President-elect Donald Trump. Writing in The Hill, Evan Davis and David Schulte claim that Trump is disqualified from office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a baseless assertion intended to strip voters of their chosen leader.

The lawyers argue that Trump engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution, despite no court convicting him of such a crime. They rely on three dubious points to justify their demand. First, they cite Trump’s second impeachment trial, in which seven Republican senators voted to convict him of “incitement of insurrection.” However, the Senate ultimately acquitted Trump, rejecting the charge.

Second, they point to the Colorado Supreme Court’s disqualification of Trump from the state’s ballot, a decision nullified by the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that states cannot bar federal candidates. Lastly, they reference the discredited January 6 Committee, which accused Trump of inciting violence at the Capitol. Evidence uncovered since has shown that key witnesses lied under pressure from committee members, and no connection was established between Trump and chants of “Hang Mike Pence!”

Davis and Schulte propose using the Electoral Count Act to reject Trump’s votes, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to assume the presidency. They dismiss the Supreme Court’s authority, calling the matter a “political question.”

This scheme represents a betrayal of the American voters who overwhelmingly chose Trump as their leader. By attempting to sideline the legitimate winner, these lawyers advocate for a perversion of the Constitution that would undermine the very democracy they claim to defend.

The House Oversight Committee has already debunked many of the claims made by the January 6 Committee, noting that Trump neither incited violence nor had intelligence indicating such events would occur.
