Watch: House Democrats to ‘Revive Legislation’ to Force Trump Off the Ballot in Wake of SCOTUS Ruling

House Democrats are refusing to accept the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that former President Donald Trump can remain on the 2024 ballot.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) joined CNN on Monday to announce that he and other House Democrats plan to “revive legislation” that would force Trump off the 2024 ballot regardless of the Supreme Court’s 9-0 ruling.

“I am working with a number of my colleagues like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Eric Swalwell to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed an insurrection is disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” Raskin said.

“And the House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in an insurrection by inciting it,” he said, referring to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The Supreme Court’s nine justices unanimously overruled the Colorado Supreme Court that barred Trump from the state’s primary ballot by claiming he incited an insurrection on January 6th.

“For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States,” the Supreme Court opinion read. “The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand. All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”

It appears that House Democrats are taking the SCOTUS ruling to heart and are planning to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment themselves, which will be a unique challenge given Republicans hold a thin majority in the House.

Corporate media has also floated a strategy for House Democrats to refuse to certify Trump for office if he is reelected president in November.

Democrats are willing to try every means possible of stopping Trump from retaking office — except actually allowing the American people to vote for their chosen candidate in a fair election.

In other words, Democrats are doing everything they can to stop democracy.
