Donald Trump’s new Supreme Court brief throws a bunch of arguments at the wall in the hopes one of them will stick and he can become president again. One of his claims stands out as especially silly — that he never swore to “support” the Constitution and so, his argument goes, he’s not subject to the provision disqualifying people who violate their sworn support. His lawyers make that argument because Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applies to insurrectionist officeholders who previously swore to “support the Constitution of the United States.” Since presidents swear to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution, Trump argues in his brief, this section doesn’t apply to him. https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-whit...rt-colorado-ballot-brief-arguments-rcna134689 __________________________________ Last week, his lawyers pleaded that Trump enjoyed total immunity as POTUS, to the point where he could assassinate a political opponent and suffer no prosecution unless impeached. Now, to save his skin, Trump claims he never swore as POTUS to protect the Constitution. With Trump, we'll never hit rock bottom.
