I certainly disagree with the judge’s strange rationale the the 14th doesn’t apply to the President, according to some contortional language gymnastics.

Here’s the oath:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The word “support” isn’t in there, but three words that are a fairly comprehensive definition of support are.

One comment, the 14th says an insurrectionist can’t hold an office, but it doesn’t say they can’t run.

Was Lyndon Johnson a closet insurrectionist? “If elected, I shall not serve…”


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
