(added context) "Fox News has not reported this, and there is no reporting from any news outlet that Newsom made any such statement." -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 01:44 1
- But Staff Sargeant Johnson is reporting it as BREAKING NEWS so that should be good enough!!!!!! -- nm - zunk takes things literally Aug 20, 05:21
cool -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 19, 22:54

- As much as I think he deserves it and the law supports it, I think it’s a mistake.(absent a conviction for insurrection). - pmb Aug 20, 07:22 9
  - I don't even think it's supported (yet). We do live in a world of innocent till guilty. Absent him actually being convicted, I don't think it would - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:20 7
    - Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn't require a criminal conviction (though he'll probably get one). you try to overthrow the duly elected gov't - hollywood big shot Aug 20, 08:24 6
      - I read it. I'll stand by my comments. A not-yet guilty man getting booted from the ballot is a huge bridge to cross. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:27 5

        Do you understand that we all know you are a lawyer and we all want you to do what's right? -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 08:57
  - I have never seen you be so disingenuous. Are you running for office? - con_carne Aug 20, 08:12

  - Who would have final jurisdiction over California's ballot, California's Supreme Court or Roberts' Follies? -- nm - David Aug 19, 23:11 2
    - Wasn't there an attempt to prevent candidates who did not release their taxes? what happened to that? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 19, 23:45 1
