Two leftist lawyers are calling on Congress to block President-elect Donald Trump from taking office, using the 14th Amendment as a pretext to overturn the 2024 election results. Their plan disregards the Constitution and defies the will of the American people.
Evan Davis and David Schulte argue that Trump engaged in “insurrection” against the Constitution. They cite his 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.

The lawyers also point to the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling disqualifying Trump, which was later invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court reaffirmed that states lack the 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.

Finally, they lean on findings from the January 6 Committee, a body widely criticized for procedural violations and false testimony. Evidence uncovered by the House Oversight Committee has debunked many of the committee’s claims, including allegations that Trump incited violence.

The lawyers propose rejecting Trump’s electoral votes and declaring Kamala Harris president. Critics argue this plan perverts constitutional law to deny voters their chosen leader.
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 Oversight Committee’s findings highlight serious flaws in the January 6 Committee’s credibility, undermining the basis for Davis and Schulte’s argument.
