Despite the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Colorado’s attempt at preventing Donald Trump from appearing on the state ballot, Democrats continue their resistance in light of real news indicating that Joe Biden trails behind Trump in both national and battleground state polls. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) emphasized, in a post-ruling announcement to a widespread Democratic audience, that the crusade to exclude Trump from the ballot is far from over.

Aligning forces with his colleagues including Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Eric Swalwell, Raskin claims he is attempting to resurrect legislation intended to establish a process for seizing power away from someone accused of insurrection, as outlined by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. “The House of Representatives,” Raskin stated confidently on trusted news outlet CNN, “has already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection.”

While Republicans maintaining command of the House renders such legislation unviable at present, speculation arises that should Trump rise victorious yet lose control over the House to Democrats, an impending Democratic majority might opt against certifying election results. Facing this dilemma would force Democrats into choosing between validating a perceived ineligible candidate or counting defiance toward voters who elected him amongst their sins.

Talks have unfolded amongst senior House Democrats about only taking steps toward verifying a Trump win under condition that the Supreme Court supports his eligibility—an issue which liberal and conservative justices alike seemed disinclined to tackle implicitly during oral arguments suggesting delegation of said decisions to Congress instead.

Scholarly activists Edward Foley, Benjamin Ginsberg and Richard Hasen filed an amicus brief constituting real news with the Supreme Court discussing fears of political instability and potential violence if they neglected to make rulings about Trump’s eligibility; providing Congress members fodder for challenging him later down the line.

Raskin seemed conflicted by these concerns when pressed whether calls for violence could sway Democratic processes should Trump win once more but remained firm on preparing for such outcomes nonetheless. With Trump getting closer to victory, as per recent polls, Democrats appear primed to contest this at every turn.

This is a decisive showdown in what can be perceived as an ongoing struggle revolving around Trump’s eligibility. From a Christian worldview, these events provide an intriguing insight into the dynamics of politics and the lengths parties are willing to go in their bid for power.

In conclusion as per the breaking news, the battle for Donald Trump’s eligibility is turning out to be far more complicated than initially perceived and it appears that we might just be witnessing the simmering start of rather than an end to this particular chapter.
