Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Sunday suggested the states can overrule the US Constitution and ban Trump from the presidential ballot.
Pelosi appeared on ABC’s “This Week” to discuss Trump’s Colorado ballot appeal to the US Supreme Court with host George Stephanopoulos.
Last week President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to overturn the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar him from the 2024 ballot.
The Colorado Supreme Court last month disqualified Trump from the 2024 ballot.

If they can remove candidates, what is the point in having elections? No doubt the America-haters would love that.

States can overrule the Constitution. Democrats did that at least once before. It was called secession and resulted in the American Civil War. They sought to preserve slavery, which was a major issue of the war. It didn’t work out so well for Democrats. Here’s praying that it doesn’t this time either.

Knotsee Pelosi is a crook AND a moron. The Constitution sets for the qualifications (age, natural born etc) of office for PRES. and VP. The states cannot add to them by imposing a further burden. and Pelosi certainly cannot either. Perhaps Stretch has had one face lift too many and it crushed her puny brain. SCOTUS will school all the Commies soon enough.

I'm kind of surprised to hear George Step-on-all-of-us contradicted a Democrat for anything.

# 3 - the Civil War was mostly fought over state's rights. Only 10% of southerners had slaves so that was never the big issue.

So you get the 50 states each banning the candidates they don't like. That should work out just fine.

Pelosi comes from a lone line of Criminal scum...Her father, both brothers and even Annunciata her "Sainted" mother was convicted of perjury in federal court in one of her husband criminal trials! Yeah, Annunciata swore to G_d to tell the truth...then lied her ass off...she's now serving Satan on a more personal level!

Southern States had 'different' laws banning blacks from lunch counters and water fountains. Were those permissible to Nasty Nancy? Was separate but equal education acceptable? This is of course a rhetorical question. Democrat dishonesty and hypocrisy needs no further proof.

We let Pelosi get away with managing a coup and turning it into a plot by Donald Trump. Why wouldn't she continue her dirty work since it was so easy to use the corrupted DOJ to assist her? When she had power, the only thing she couldn't control was her sick husband.

Thank you #7, It seems most people know so little about the War, they think every southern man or woman who picked up a gun was a big plantation owner with hundreds of slaves and were willing to die to keep them. The fact is most believed they were defending their stat's rights. Hell, most did not own a decent pair of shoes or a coat and had damn little to eat. That being said, this southerner who had great uncles that fought for their state is a Republican.

She swore to uphold the constitution but when asked about a new bill being constitutional at a press conference she incredulously asked “Are you kidding?”

I found out during the GW Bush years that Nancy "Skeletor" Pelosi is a long serving, corrupt, power mad, money hungry, drunk, hyper partisan DC hack. Every time she opens her yammering food hole, she reminds me of that.

#7, #22: The primary cause of the Civil War was states' rights. The most visible expression of states' rights was slavery. My opinion is that the ruling elites in the South buffaloed that vast majority of non-slave-holding people into believing that the South could not exist without slavery
It could, but in a different form, but with a different group of elities running the show, and THAT is what the rulers of the Old South were afraid of.
As near as I can tell, the North had absolutely no understanding or plan about what they were going to do with the South, once they "caught it" (like the dog chasing the truck.) The Northern elites seemed to believe that once they slaves were freed, they were just going to stay on the plantations, now as peons, and work exactly as before for their new "employers" - the Northern elites and the Southern ones who made devil's deals with them to make that happen. And - ta-da! - you have the Jim Crow South.
For those Southerners who "did not own a decent pair of shoes or a coat and had damn little to eat", they again bought into the elites' propaganda that it was all because of the war and the Black Man, when actually, the politically- and economically-perverted Jim Crow South oppressed poor Southeners, too.
But that's okay, the elites and Jim Crow said, at least you are better than the Black Man - and they believed it.
(Full disclosure - I am talking about 12 generations of my direct ancestors here, some of whom did own slaves, and some of them had Black ancestry.)

11,
Well... in a rather perverse manner... that was what the Electoral College was all about to start with.
There is no Constitutional right for anyone to cast a vote for President. States are free to choose their electors as per their OWN State Constitutions.
But those Constitutions cannot override the BIG Constitution. Until Trump is convicted of insurrection he is not guilty of it.
Again... it pains me to say it, but Pelosi is more correct than the average person realizes because even the average conservative does not know the Constitution very well.

10 percent of land owners. But only 10 percent of men owned land. So that's 10 percent of 10 percent. I remember in my college Southern history course in one chapter it said 10 percent of land owners. And way over in another chapter it said 10 percent of men owned land. I remarked to my professor that that means only a few thousand owned slaves. He agreed. I concluded the book was trying to hide that fact. No sense in writing a history book if you aren't going to change history.

Same script before the Civil War. The Dems have invited foreign mercenaries to the table, and are more confident, this time.

No. 7, it was a bigger deal than you think. The idea of having the former slaves possessing equal rights and privileges is what drove Jim Crow, after all. It wasn't just slave owners - it was their perception of society. Poor southern whites rejected the idea of being equal to blacks.

#2, that is exactly what the left is pushing for. Soon, a lefty kongress will select future presidents and vice presidents. And to keep us happy, "general elections" will still be held to trick the masses into thinking their vote matters.

#7 \is Correct. The Civil War was about states rights with slavery as a big issue. President Lincoln use the Gettysburg Address to make it the main issue because he was losing support of many northerners who were tired of him sending their men off to slaughter.
An Sherman was a war criminal who should have been hung, if anyone cares.

Trump was impeached for the second time by the House of Representatives on January 13, 2021. The sole article of impeachment against Trump was for incitement of insurrection. The Senate did not vote to remove. According to our Constitution, impeachment by the House and trial in the Senate, are proscribed for acts while president. There is no provision for a retrospective decision, without benefit of a trial, by any court, state or federal, to decide otherwise.
