Trump argues First Amendment protects him from ‘insurrection’ cases aimed at keeping him off ballot

E-mail Print PDF
Trump trumpingAttorneys for former President Donald Trump argue that an attempt to bar him from the 2024 ballot under a rarely used “insurrection” clause of the Constitution should be dismissed as a violation of his freedom of speech.

The lawyers made the argument in a filing posted Monday by a Colorado court in one of the most significant of a series of challenges to Trump’s candidacy under the Civil War-era clause in the 14th Amendment. The challenges rest on Trump’s attempts to overturn his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden and his role leading up to the violent Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“At no time do Petitioners argue that President Trump did anything other than engage in either speaking or refusing to speak for their argument that he engaged in the purported insurrection,” wrote attorney Geoffrey Blue.

TVNL Comment:  Keep going till you get to the 14th Amendment, Donald.  You can be kept off the ballot for supporting an insurrection.  Oh, never mind...the words have more than one syllable.
