Donald Trump's entry into the 2024 presidential race could unleash a new type of legal chaos.

Advocacy groups have already pledged to challenge his candidacy in multiple states under a post-Civil War prohibition against individuals sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion," which has been fairly untested so far in history and could result in conflicting decisions around the country, reported Bloomberg.

“We could have 51 jurisdictions coming out differently, really, on the same evidence,” said former appellate judge Marcy Kahn, who led a task force to study the issue. “It really would be a constitutional crisis.”

Previous efforts to disqualify Republicans who backed Trump's "Stop the Steal" movement, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Andy Biggs (R-AZ), have largely failed but produced court rulings that favor both sides, but none of those cases carry the weight of a nationwide presidential election.

“Every legal option is on the table,” said Donald Sherman, chief legal counsel and vice president of Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

1. Again . ... .

majority are fucking tired of this shit. Also they want congress to focus on positive results. But alas, in the House and Senate GQP will continue with bullshit chaos because they don't give a shit about everyday Americans.

2. Unfortunately, this won't go anywhere until TFG is tried and convicted

for insurrection or seditious conspiracy.

Don't get me wrong, i think he is guilty as fuck. But like any American, he deserves the right to defend himself in court. Until then, we're trying to fight a legal battle with opinions, and that won't work.

3. Yup, something needs proving in court or the claim will be "there has been no adjudication". . . nt
