The US 4th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday overturned a lower court judge’s decision and ruled ‘insurrectionist’ members of Congress may be barred from office.

A three-judge panel on the appeals court made the decision in a lawsuit against GOP North Carolina Congressman Madison Cawthorn.

They aren’t in a rush. They are waiting on Trumps decision to become the speaker of the house to make a ruling.

A federal court not even mentioned in the constitution is denying one of the three branches in the constitution from office?

Explain to me why we should even listen to this nonsense

There was a lot of insurrectionists language following RvW leak plus all 4 years of PDJT's tenure. Does that go both ways? Oh, right. What am I thinking?

Wouldn’t they have to be charged and tried in a court of law before being labeled ‘an insurredtionist’?

When were they tried and convicted of insurrection?



I guess they just need to be labeled as such by opponents and that's good enough for a kangaroo court.

Wouldn’t a court have to judge who is considered an insurrectionist? There is no evidence that any members conspired with anything. Who decides these things, CNN+?

May.

They made no determination of whether Cawthorn was or wasn't guilty of insurrection. Merely that the 14th Amendment wasn't limited solely to Civil War.

It's a hell of a burden and if they actually pull this off, there will be blood.

In the spirit of Andrew Jackson - they’ve made their decision, now let them enforce it.
