Trump Faces Office Eligibility Question in Court

Some people say that under the 14th Amendment, Trump is ineligible to hold public office because he engaged in insurrection. Others question and/or dismiss that claim. Unsurprisingly, the question has found its way into court. The action was initiated by a Republican who is also seeking his party's nomination.

"The lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in Florida by John Anthony Castro, an attorney in Texas. Castro, like the former president, is seeking the Republican nomination for 2024 and has registered his campaign with the Federal Election Commission. He’s asking a judge to declare Trump constitutionally ineligible to hold office and to order a halt to any campaigning and fundraising.

"Castro’s case is the first of what’s expected to be more efforts to try to block Trump from running under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which bars someone from continuing to hold public office if they engage in insurrection." (Source)

Very few people have heard of or know anything about Castro. This is probably because he's never been elected to any public office, but he does have a generic campaign website. A self-declared RINO, he's obviously a shill being used by Democrats and establishment Republicans to further their efforts to use the 14th Amendment to keep Trump from running in 2024. This is nothing more than another nuisance lawsuit by Castro against Trump that will go nowhere, and accomplish nothing but keep Trump's name in the news. This isn't anything new. It's the second time he's tried this stunt; notice the date on the article below - February 9, 2022.

"John Anthony Castro, a graduate of Georgetown University Law School who bills himself as “2024 Presidential Candidate,” as well as a “RINO Suing Trump Under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to Ban Him from Office for the January 6 Insurrection,”

The Latest Democrat/RINO Plan to Prevent Trump From Running Again in 2024

The push to use the Fourteenth Amendment against Trump could well succeed, because all the Democrats need are a few RINO votes to help them push it over.

That may well be. But to date it has gone somewhere; namely to court.

I don't know how this will turn out but I am happy to see the eligibility question show up in court. In court, the arguments on both sides of the question can be clearly and intelligently made, and clearly and intelligently criticized, in a forum where respect for the law and good order prevails. With the arguments then made, a well-reasoned ruling, one way or the other can be obtained.

You can take anyone to court but the question is can you win......
And trump has yet to be charged with insurrection....so yes he can still run for president again.

On that issue, I don't care if one side or the other wins or loses. As I said above, I'm glad it's in court so the question will be argued well and ruled upon.

It will get dismissed because once again he has to be charged with a CRIME....I am still waiting on those people that have yet to get to trial after 2 years.....their right to a speedy trial has been violated because many have yet to even see a bail hearing.

Guilt or Innocent is irrelevant.
Charges filed or not, it doesn't matter.
It is a civil lawsuit not criminal.

Of course when..... Nah, I won't bother trying to explain to those that can excuse what has happened.
