🧱 Biden’s Border Wall Sale Blocked by Texas
The Biden administration’s attempt to sell 8,000 border wall panels before President-elect Trump’s inauguration hit a dead end. Public pressure from Trump’s team and Texas’ commitment to purchase the materials led Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick to announce the sale was postponed until Trump takes office.

Vivek Ramaswamy added fuel to the fire, praising foreign STEM workers while criticizing American youth for falling behind academically. His call for more foreign workers ignited backlash among Trump’s core supporters.

šŸ›³ Trump Takes Aim at China Over Panama Canal

Democrat Lawyers Urge Congress to Block Trump from Returning to Office

In a highly controversial op-ed published by The Hill on Thursday, two Democrat lawyers, Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte, argued that Congress has the constitutional power to block President-elect Donald Trump from taking office. The op-ed claims that Trump’s alleged involvement in ā€œinsurrectionā€ makes him ineligible to serve as president.

šŸ” Key Points from the Op-Ed:

  • Constitutional Argument:
    Davis and Schulte assert that the Constitution bars any individual engaged in insurrection from holding the office of president. They argue that the evidence against Trump’s involvement in an insurrection is ā€œoverwhelming.ā€

  • January 6th Committee:
    The lawyers refer to the findings of the Nancy Pelosi-appointed January 6th Committee, although a recent House GOP review dismissed the committee as politically biased, accusing it of being a ā€œtool to attack President Trump.ā€

  • Electoral Count Act:
    They argue that the 1887 Electoral Count Act provides grounds for Congress to object to an electoral vote if a candidate is disqualified, citing Trump as a candidate disqualified by the Constitution. A majority vote in the House and Senate could potentially block Trump’s electoral votes.

  • Objection Likelihood:
    While the authors acknowledge that it’s unlikely Republicans will cooperate, they urge Democrats to ā€œtake a stand.ā€

šŸ’¬ Republican Responses:

  • Eric Trump’s Reaction:
    Eric Trump, the president’s second-eldest son, expressed disbelief, stating, ā€œYou people are sickā€ in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

  • Sen. Eric Schmitt’s Sarcasm:
    Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) sarcastically commented, ā€œSounds like inciting an Insurrection,ā€ referencing the same argument Democrats criticized Trump for using to contest the 2020 election results.

  • Steven Cheung’s Statement:
    A spokesperson for Trump’s transition team, Steven Cheung, responded to the op-ed by accusing Democrats of attempting to ā€œsteal the electionā€ and undermine the will of the American people.

āš–ļø Legal Reactions:

  • Ken Klukowski’s Critique:
    Breitbart’s legal contributor Ken Klukowski criticized the op-ed as ā€œridiculous,ā€ pointing out that Trump was acquitted in his impeachment trial over the January 6 Capitol riot. He stressed that the Senate’s acquittal proved Trump was not guilty of inciting an insurrection.

  • Trump v. Anderson Case:
    Klukowski also dismissed the authors’ use of the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling in the Trump v. Anderson case, stating that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision clarified that only Congress has the authority to disqualify a candidate.

šŸ‘Øā€āš–ļø About the Authors:

  • Evan A. Davis:
    A lawyer at Cleary Gottlieb, Davis has ties to prominent Democratic figures, including the late New York Governor Mario Cuomo.

  • David M. Schulte:
    Schulte is a lawyer and financial supporter of former President Barack Obama and has connections to former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

What’s Next?

The op-ed’s proposal has sparked a fierce legal and political debate. Whether Congress will act on these suggestions remains uncertain, but it has undoubtedly raised significant questions about the power and scope of Congressional authority over presidential eligibility.
