Challenges are still underway in many more states, based on an obscure clause of a constitutional amendment enacted after the Civil War that disqualifies government officials who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding office.

    Why not just come out and say that the blob rules all and you are just minions who have no voice.

  6. Its not even close to working, every time they do this his lead in the polls grow. Most people realize if they get away with banning him without due process then what hope do they have for fair treatment by a government that can just declare you guilty without any trail or presumption of innocence as guaranteed by the constitution.
