Would you take up arms to oppose an illegitimate Trump third term?

I stopped reading at your prediction that 6 justices of the SCt would find a constitutional amendment "unconstitutional."
Then you missed the part where we lawyers assured him Roe was safe because of "the amendment."
Thanks for that catch, Goat!
Incidentally, Brad’s objection was not a miss-type on my part. The point is, the current SCOTUS Big Six could easily rationalize an originalist interpretation of the original Constitution to argue A XXII is “unconstitutional.” The apparent illogic of my assertion is precisely the illogic they’re prone to use.*
Evidently Brad doesn’t think they wear logic repellent.
*As an aside, is there any measure coded into the Constitution to address contradictions inadvertently amended into the Constitution?
I don’t think your friend is ans intelligent as you think she is.
Seattle is something.
Only city I’ve seen people on a park bench smoking crack across from a cop car.
Meanwhile family and children nervously walk by on their way to Pike Place Market.
The lawlessness is almost libertarian in a way.
Harvard Law. So not dumb, even if trapped in a bubble. A lot of intelligent people are.
Re Seattle, she just moved there. From NYC.
I think I’ve posted it here before but we have a physician friend - a single mother - who is basically a BlueAnon member.
She’s told us she thinks she needs to put aside her hatred of the second amendment because she might need a gun when Trump starts hunting democrats.
There is professional and academic intelligence and then there is real life intelligence. Your friend has 2 of the 3.
Nah. I’ve always had my own point of view and unabashedly critical of both sides.
There is no contradiction. The Amendment . . .ah . . .trumps any previous inconsistency.
Just stop making the whole world about Trump.
If you would ask “should any president be elected to a third term?” I would answer “No.”
It would be Marco. Vengence for the 'Little Marco' putdown. Like Michael in the Godfather - no one thinks he'd be the one to do it.
Those Cubans don't forget.
To me it isn't all about Trump, my answer to that question for any of them would be no. We can't get mad about questions like this, well, because:
Rep. Ogles Proposes Amending the 22nd Amendment to Allow Trump to Serve a Third Term
WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution of the United States to allow a President to be elected for up to but no more than three terms. The language of the proposed amendment reads as follows:
It is at least a popular enough idea for that to happen.
My dad worked as maintenance supervisor at an assisted living/nursing home place.
One of the kitchen workers was a Harvard Law grad. Smart as hell with zero social skills. Not saying your friend is that, but the more I know about Harvard, the less I'm impressed with a degree from there.
Sorry I wasn't here back then but if your contention is no conservative has ever threatened to leave if their pick lost then I have oceanfront property in Indiana to sell you.
Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so
I’m about as far away politically from Bernie Sanders and AOC as a person can be. But I wouldn’t hesitate a moment to cast a vote for either one of them if Trump’s name is anywhere on the same ballot. I’d probably even send them some cash.
I don’t know if he’s saying this stuff to troll his critics or not. But, whatever his motivation, it’s unconscionable and indefensible.

They could try to repeal the 22nd, but they'd need every Trump state plus 7 blue states to do it.
That's a quaint thought. You think any of that matters?
Biden set precedent with his EO that made the ERA part of the constitution.

See ya in court.
Made me a little queasy writing that.
I would be just as fiercely opposed to that horrible idea.
However, I’d gladly welcome an Article 5 convention. If one is convened, anything can be put on the table. And we might actually get something positive out of it.

What Biden did there was ridiculous and pointless. It also isn’t recognized by anybody who matters.
But, what he did aside, do you support Trump saying what he’s saying here?
Trump hasn’t ruled out a third term and says “there are ways.” However, I think there is no way. States won’t even let him on the ballot, I’m sure. Right?
Trump could be elected VP and then the president resigns. It’s called a loophole.
Trump wipes his ass with our beloved Constitution, and still his cultists will come up with whaddabouts
No candidate for VP can be ineligible to be President. That pesky Constitution, once again.
Sounds similar to what Medvedev and Putin did while they were still trying to keep up the ruse.
Not clear. 22 and 12 could be reviewed by s Ct. I know you’re desperate to get your cult back in office and open the border defund cops mask up and chop up the privates of minors but you and your woke cultists have to be patient.
