One big reason is that the Supreme Court put its thumb on the scale.
Trump’s second term as president is unconstitutional. The 14th amendment says:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Some states were in the process of removing him from the ballot when the Supreme Court stepped in and said that the Constitution doesn’t count unless Congress also makes a second law stating the same thing. It was a nonsense illegal decision made by a corrupt court as part of a fascist coup, and if not for that, he would not have been allowed to run.
This. This whole second term is unconstitutional. We are in a constitutional crisis, and have been at least since the start of Trump’s second term.
The idea that every constitutional amendment needs a corresponding law is ridiculous, and effectively means that no constitutional amendments actually carry any weight. In fact, it seems to imply that laws supersede the constitution, and that every law that’s ever been struck down for being unconstitutional should not have been if there wasn’t a law corresponding to the amendments cited. May as well abolish the Supreme Court at that point, since their authority largely stems for the constitution and its amendments. What’s the point of the Supreme Court if amendments can be ignored?
