Plan To Block Trump Certification Undermines American Democracy
Two leftist lawyers are pushing Congress to overturn President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, a move that disregards the will of the voters and undermines the Constitution. Evan Davis and David Schulte argue Trump is ineligible under the 14th Amendment, despite no conviction of insurrection or rebellion.
The lawyers point to Trump’s second impeachment trial, where seven Republicans voted to convict him, though the Senate ultimately acquitted him.
Jamie Raskin is saying that congress will STOP Trump from taking office even if he’s chosen by the voters.
This is extremely dangerous. Every Democrat needs to be on the record about this immediately. pic.twitter.com/9IwRoGrrQu

They also reference the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to disqualify Trump, which the U.S. Supreme Court later nullified, declaring that states lack authority to bar federal candidates.
The democrats are threatening to not certify elections. This is treason against President Trump and Americans. Don't forget he said this.

Their final argument relies on findings from the January 6 Committee, a panel widely criticized for witness tampering and biased reporting. Evidence uncovered by the House Oversight Committee has debunked claims that Trump incited violence or encouraged chants of “Hang Mike Pence!”
🚨TREASON: Propaganda machine The Hill is now plotting an insurrection to stop President Trump. Demanding that Congress use the 14th Amendment to block Trump from taking office in January.

Davis and Schulte propose rejecting Trump’s electoral votes to install Kamala Harris as president. This plan is an affront to American voters and a dangerous precedent that undermines the electoral process.
LET’S BE CLEAR: PRESIDENT TRUMP WON THE POPULAR VOTE AND ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE (WITHOUT CHEATING):
REP. RASKIN: "It's gonna be up to us on January 6, 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified."

The scheme mirrors objections raised in 2021 when Republicans questioned Joe Biden’s certification, highlighting the hypocrisy of those now advocating for similar tactics.
The hill, along with Jaime raskin, are plotting an insurrection against President Trump.

Was Trump indicted of doing this? If not, Jamie Raskin is going to have a hard time invoking the 14th amendment unbelievable these people are so sick. They just wanna keep us distracted and they want us to start Civil War 2.0 in the worst way https://t.co/lT5oWHw96Z
