Not how criminal law works, mehoe. 
Criminal law is not a law of United States Constitutional Right, paesano. 
BWAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!!!!
There is no such thing as criminal law being not of "a law of (sic) United States Constitutional Right (sic)..."

Biological criteria is met at conception. That's just a basic fact of life, irrelevant of your "whole truth" (it's not a whole loaf of bread).
 Literally fact science does harvest, store, and take donations of sperm and human egg keeping them alive so they can be used in the treatment of infertility.
WTF is this grammatical mess!?! Clearly common English is not your first language. 

Biological material for additional medical treatments is grown after human conception as well as medical conception.
More grammatical nonsense - i.e., word salad. 

Whole truth that is a way of say all the truth that might be gathered as a United State as a complete condition or principle. A medical professional can be found guilty of perjury for only describing a partial truth when giving an expert opinion in an official proceeding of inquiry. 
Wow. Word Salad from fucking HELL here!!!! JFC!!! 

The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
What in the FLYING FUCK does any of this have to do with the price of tea in China, let alone the abortion debate!?!

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
Again, what the FUCK does this have to do with the price of tea in China, let alone the abortion debate!?!

Abortion is a foreign criminal law written by legislators outside American United States Constitutional Right before America had ever been established an independent state of two forms of law, Criminal law, and Law of Right. A United States Constitutional Right does not need to be ratified before it held before the Courts of America it is a power described to be held by “We the people.” With a condition of being a more perfect state of the union than what is in use at any given time in history.
OMG!!! This text needs to be right next to the definition of WORD SALAD!!!!

You lack the requisite education and experience to have this debate/discussion.
I made myself plain and clear with scientific and reality-based arguments. You're replying sophomorically. No facts, just subjective emotiveness.
Not going to waste my time replying to a child who lacks the sufficient life experience and education to have this discussion. 
Good luck with others on this.
And don't try to hammer me with a bunch of whining about this and that merely because I wouldn't engage you further. 
If you do, you only prove my point. 
I now agree to disagree.
Cheers.

We must accept the fact that 1:

Human life begins at conception and should be treated as such.
"...and should be treated as such." What does this even mean? 
Treated as [such], treated like....what, exactly??

It means the we (sic) must accept that a arprtial (sic) truth is nough (sic) fact to base criminal law on.
Not how criminal law works, mehoe. 

Science describes as whole truth that life begins at the creation of two things independent from eachother (sic) an egg and sperm.
That's not how science works either. "whole truth"? Did you learn a new phrase there?
Biological criteria is met at conception. That's just a basic fact of life, irrelevant of your "whole truth" (it's not a whole loaf of bread). 
And when the zygote is formed, it is not "independent" of the mother. It feeds of her. It's takes her nutrients and genetic material in order to gestate to fetal viability.

In the law of nature as whole truth
"whole truth," yeah, a favorite new phrase learned that means nothing in this debate/subject matter. 

according to science
You've already demonstrated you do not understand, science, of this subject matter, that is.

men kill  more sperm then women kill eggs.
"kill" sperm? FFS. How old are you?

A male female couple can practice medicinesa (sic) and exstend (sic) the life of one sperm and one egg in most aplications (sic) of sexual intercourse.
Word salad. Bad grammar. Bad spelling. Bad everything.

Just as medical science can preactice (sic) marriage and produce life by having sex according to christain (sic) law without sexual intercourse.
Word salad. 

This debate becomesa matter of equality under criminal law and United States Constitutional right.It is a United States Constitutional right to apply lethal force to a child of certainage when married and unmarried in one way. The parents must neglect the law ofnature they possess as share to save the child and not extend the length of anatural life of a child at this stage as fact. The scientific life expectancyis about 28 days or 1-month. The age is not set by absence of intercourse it isset by the mother of the child and the laws of nature; natures GOD gives them.In whole truth this is the connection Christianity is making as a proposedUnited States Constitutional state of the Union.

Now let’s look atthe United States Constitutional Right executive officer # 45 has made which isnot being placed in writing to be evaluated his abilities of preserving UnitedStates Constitution under House Impeachment. Remember this is not a criminal chargeand there is no presumption of innocence to be expected. It is to be given ornot give by all those under oath during impeachment. A man in attempt to preserveUnited States Constitutional right is use a very young child as a 2nd amendment right to bear arms to attempt to kill all women. Yes, as whole truththe odds of him killing all women is not very likely, though all women areplaced at risk of death randomly as a gamble. Simply said odds dictate not allwomen die simple because that try at creating what American United StatesConstitution describes as a nation’s posterity. The United States Constitutionalright that is created by all men’s independence from English law without women andcreation of men’s own equality is the future and the present are separated by aborder created by law of nature.

As a united stateconstitutional right the very young child cannot even be charged withaccidental use of lethal force it may apply allowing a woman to defend her lifeplaced only her at risk for presenting a nation with the most perfect posteritypossible for her to create. A woman is at War with the laws of nature and allconception or copulation ensures is she is not alone in that battle. Lifeliberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Female specific amputation is not abortion they may both share a use of lethal force but they are in no way equal.
Nonsensical word salad. Not worth dissecting let alone replying to.

"...and should be treated as such." What does this even mean? 
Treated as [such], treated like....what, exactly??
A human being with inherent value. 
It is not [a] human being. 
It does not have any 'inherent value" prior to fetal viablity. 

That which is within, is a part of the whole. It is feeding off her, taking her nutrients to develop. Taking from her, makes it a part of her.
It actually does the opposite. There are numerous medical benefits for having a child including: 
Huh? Your response makes no SENSE to the original claim. Try again, child. 

"Women who have had a first full-term pregnancy at an early age have reduced risks of breast, ovarian and endometrial cancer. Furthermore, the risks of these cancers decline with each additional full-term pregnancy.
Pregnancies that are terminated afford no protection; thus, a woman who chooses abortion over continuing her pregnancy would lose the protective benefit.”
And yes, it is inside her body, but has separate DNA from her, is a distinct independent living organism, and is not part of the mother's body. It uses parts of the mother's body to grow and collect nutrients, but it is completely separate biologically. 
Separate DNA doesn't mean shit. A drop of blood at a crime scene results in DNA upon testing. Doesn't make that blood sample [a] human being.

It shares familial DNA, not independent DNA. DNA from both generations, mother and father, despite maybe having a different blood type, whatever. It is still of her and is within her. 
Ok, with that logic, you are still part of your mom, because you have some of your mothers DNA still.
No shit Sherlock. I have had a DNA test done that tells me a long about my mother's DNA and how far it goes back to know who my ancestors were. It's called Mitochondrial DNA, ignoramus.  

With that logic you are also part of your dad still, because you have your dads DNA.
Yeah, I am. That's how human reproduction words. 

And since you are part of their body, you are not independent, and if your mom wants to, she should be allowed to kill you right?
You make no sense here. Total sophomoric banal babble. 

Pregnancy let alone birth wreaks havoc on a girl's/woman's body and lasts a lifetime. There is no benefit to the mother when pregnancy ages her body beyond years. 
It's actually a part of a female organisms maturing process. Look it up. 

Uh, not it is not. Pregnancy has nothing to do with a female maturing, it has everything to do with altering their physiological maturation. Dumbass. 

And I doubt the over 90 million children who were unwanted and/or orphaned would disagree with your idea of how they are benefited. 
Wow. Thats a dangerous argument you're making there. 
How so? Truth is dangerous? Wow....

I believe in the proposition that no matter what hardships human beings endure, we always have the ability to not only survive, but to thrive regardless of the situation. There are many cases of this throughout not only today, but throughout history. Every human life has value, even the orphans. 
If only your dumbass would be tossed into a destitute situation that so many of millions of unwanted and orphaned children have endured would smack reality in your ignorant face...you might understand. 

Many women and little girls would unequivocally disagree with you. 
Fully matured women shouldn't disagree with me. 
Now if we were talking about little girls, (which we weren't so Red Herring right there) I would disagree with me too. 

Red herring on little girls?
You just defeated your own position right there; you callous little shit. 

A lot of women would disagree with you.
Facts don't care about your feelings. 
That is a non-sequitur. 

My feelings are not in play here, the women who disagree with you are. Dumbass. 

Where did you go to school? Wherever it was, get your parents' money back. They failed you. 
A very liberal school actually. It wasn't pleasant. 
Explains why you are so fucking daft.

If "an individual" is scared of getting pregnant? An individual? I think you mean a girl/woman. We all know ONLY females can get pregnant, so do not demean them by using BS language that would be used by the alphabet soup mafia. 
Again, another Red Herring man. 
I wasn't even talking about that. 

And yes, only females can get pregnant. I agree with you. 
No red herring.
Intellectual coward denialist. 

AND, consenting to sexual relations is just that and nothing more. Both parties, if they don't want to be saddled with the possibility of having a child, then precautions are taken. At the beginning of her period, contraception, I mean it is not that difficult to enjoy another's sexuality without worrying about an unplanned pregnancy. I mean really, how old are you? 16?
Another fallacy, talking about my personal being. (I'm not 16).
No, not a fallacy. A supposition. 
What age are you then, 18? 19?
You come across as a child. So... 

Oh FFS, comparing getting into a car to sexual relations...dumb comparison of no equal relevance on any level. 
It actually does. 
Maybe think about it intellectually next time bud. 
Getting into cars and sex. Nothing to compare. You need to rethink it, dumbass. 

There are 90+ million unwanted children worldwide who would disagree with you. 
And you think all those 90 million children would rather die? 
Big assumption of you man.
Strawman fallacy. Never claimed what those children would rather do or not do. That's your ignorant retort. Speaks volumes. 

Again, ALL human life is valuable,
No, it is not. 
Hitler was not valuable. 
Charles Manson was not valuable.
Every violent human being throughout existence has not been valuable.
You lose this argument, child. 

And THIS is the choice of the individual family, not you or anyone else.
Is murder the choice of a family or is it the law? 
Your query makes no sense giving the fact that murder is against the law. Try again. Child. Only children argue points like this. 

 You (nor anyone else) foots the bill for their lifelong healthcare, so you (nor anyone else) do not have any say in the matter that you're not a part of. 
Great..........all I'm saying is that they can't kill a baby. Is that too harsh?

No "baby" is "killed" during an abortion.

Human life begins at conception and should be treated as such.
"...and should be treated as such." What does this even mean? 
Treated as [such], treated like....what, exactly??

The fetus that presides in the womb of a mother, is in no way part of the mother's body no matter what way you spin it.
That which is within, is a part of the whole. It is feeding off her, taking her nutrients to develop. Taking from her, makes it a part of her.

The fetus in the womb has different DNA, most times contains different blood types, half the time the child is a different sex completely, and inherently is not a product of only the mother's body, but a combination of the mothers DNA and the fathers DNA. 3:
It shares familial DNA, not independent DNA. DNA from both generations, mother and father, despite maybe having a different blood type, whatever. It is still of her and is within her. 

Abortion is 98% of the time never medically necessary for a woman's health.
I'll give you that, to an extent, since prior to RvW being overturned only 1.2% and less of ALL abortions were after 22-24 weeks gestation. 

There are safer and more productive alternatives to abortion, that involve benefit to both the mother and the child,
Pregnancy let alone birth wreaks havoc on a girl's/woman's body and lasts a lifetime. There is no benefit to the mother when pregnancy ages her body beyond years. 
And I doubt the over 90 million children who were unwanted and/or orphaned would disagree with your idea of how they are benefited. 

The risk of injury to the mother during pregnancy is extremely low.
Many women and little girls would unequivocally disagree with you. 

In fact, pregnancy can actually benefit the mother in many ways, such as reduced risks of breast, ovarian and endometrial cancer, if the pregnancy is completed without major complication. Abortion takes away that benefit, and in fact in many cases abortions can cause severe mental health problems to women. And finally, 5:
A lot of women would disagree with you.

Planned Parent Hood's roots are inherently racist, and genocidal and while many organizations also have ugly backgrounds, we should take this into consideration while thinking about this legislation. 
"...this legislation." What legislation?

Moral dilemmas.
  1. People who don’t want to be pregnant, and don’t want the responsibility of a child.
I think it is extremely important, as mature as we are, to talk about sex, and its effects on people. If an individual is scared of the possibility of getting pregnant, then they shouldn’t involve themselves in sexual relations, because no matter how much protection you give yourself, having sexual relations is by definition is consenting to the possibility of pregnancy.
Where did you go to school? Wherever it was, get your parents' money back. They failed you. 
If "an individual" is scared of getting pregnant? An individual? I think you mean a girl/woman. We all know ONLY females can get pregnant, so do not demean them by using BS language that would be used by the alphabet soup mafia. 
AND, consenting to sexual relations is just that and nothing more. Both parties, if they don't want to be saddled with the possibility of having a child, then precautions are taken. At the beginning of her period, contraception, I mean it is not that difficult to enjoy another's sexuality without worrying about an unplanned pregnancy. I mean really, how old are you? 16?

Just as you would get into your car, but you don’t want to crash, when you enter that car, you are consenting to the possibility of getting into a wreck. One of the ways you can defend yourself from getting an abortion, is by being smart about who you sleep with.
Oh FFS, comparing getting into a car to sexual relations...dumb comparison of no equal relevance on any level. 

If you do find yourself in a situation where you are pregnant, and you do not wish to take care of the child, there are alternatives to abortion, such as giving the child up for adoption. 
There are 90+ million unwanted children worldwide who would disagree with you. 

   2. Abortion in cases where the child has a disability is necessary to save them from a life of struggle. 

I believe in the proposition that no matter what hardships human beings endure, we always have the ability to not only survive, but to thrive regardless of the situation. There are many cases of this throughout not only today, but throughout history. 
And THIS is the choice of the individual family, not you or anyone else. You (nor anyone else) foots the bill for their lifelong healthcare, so you (nor anyone else) do not have any say in the matter that you're not a part of. 

To make a bold statement such as that is in fact extremely offensive to individuals today who live with disabilities and developmental complications, because it implies that their lives are too hard, so they don’t matter. It takes away meaning from the lives of those most vulnerable among us. 
Damn you are so naive.

The language of "The Congress shall have the power to..." is pretty freaking clear. 
Yes, to enforce via appropriate legislation. You continue to ignore that part even though I've repeatedly pointed out the difference, that this isn't a matter of legislation it's a matter of adjudication, and Congress is not the body nor does it even have the processes in place to adjudicate matters of law.
Show me where in the US Constitution that if Congress fails in its solely prescribed power to enforce the Constitution (which obviously includes the BoR), then by default it is up to the Judicial Branch of government to enforce the provisions of the Constitution upon the People (whomever is allegedly violating X provision).

If Congress wants to pass a law now determining how the 14th amendment applies or is adjudicated then we'd be constitutionally bound to follow it, until then the language in the 14th is what we we have.
Just because Congress doesn't pass legislation affirming the 14th Amendment and how to enforce the provisions therein, doesn't disqualify the legal merit/weight of the Supreme Law(s) of the Constitution in its Supreme Authority. And the Constitution doesn't require Congress to legislate anything to bind the US Government and State governments to it. They simply must not violate it, which is what many states have been doing and continue to try to do where the 2nd Amendment is concerned. Then the Constitutional question gets adjudicated, and states are repeatedly told "NO! You cannot do that. 'Shall not be infringed' is absolute."

Here we have a Secretary of State exercising authority she simply does not have, and a state (supreme) court making legal determinations without due process of law in labeling Trump an insurrectionist (which he was acquitted of via impeachment) and using bullshit sociological babble about coded language, like the man has ESP and can send signals to his followers brains as commandments, to justify that shitty court ruling removing him from the Colorado ballot. SO! This raises a Constitutional question that the US Supreme Court must review and decide those actions meet Constitutional muster. They don't, and in the next couple months we will hear just that from SCOTUS. 

I think it is also noteworthy to point out here that according to what you've been arguing, if based on Section 5 no one else other than Congress can decide Section 3 then the same also applies to Section 1, so every federal case adjudicating Section 1 over the past century and a half were apparently all unconstitutional.
Strawman. Never said "no one else other than Congress can decide" on anything. United States Codes are based on what government is allowed to do per the US Constitution. Those clarify by definitions of terms used throughout said Codes that dictate what is legal and illegal as they pertain to the Amendments and Constitution in and of itself. Same for Federal Statutory Law(s). They have to be in line with the Supreme Law of the land. If and when they are not, then a case is brought in federal court and taken all the way up the ladder to SCOTUS if it cannot be resolved in a lower appellate court. 

Take, for example 14/1. The government provides relevant legal definitions related to Sec 1 of the 14th via 1 USC 8. Namely when legal rights, privileges and equal protection of the law is bestowed upon [a] "person." Answer: birth. Which is precisely why a pregnancy has never been granted the same protections as the born living female person impregnated. No one has enhanced rights over another, least of all a pregnancy. 

Anyway, we will all be educated on this matter in a couple months when SCOTUS rules. And I will be waiting and watching for it. At that point we can continue this discussion, because as it stands now you're just not getting it. I give you credit for admitting you are not Constitutional Law scholar. That is quite apparent.

Hmmm...good research, Sir (or Madam). I did not know of that case, and as such, Trump may have screwed himself without even realizing it. 
Then again, context still matters given the circumstances. In that case, context may be as it was decided. But whereas the 14th Sec 3 is concerned, the context may be entirely different. 

In a couple months we will all find out. Having said that, until SCOTUS rules, arguing/debating about it is a futile exercise.

The Amendment itself IS the Constitutional (Supreme) Law of the land
Agreed, that's why we have judges who can decide whether the law is being followed
ONLY if someone raises a federal question in federal court. If they do not, then each Amendment stands on its own merits as is. In other words, it is followed as it is written and only enforced as annotated. I made that clear citing the 10th Amendment. The 14th does not abdicate the power of enforcement to anyone, any court, or any government body other than the United States Congress. Their inaction is not a call for action by a lesser authority not granted that authority to enforce it. Period.

Federal statutory legislation is not needed,
Yes, that's my point which you have been arguing against
NO, I have not been arguing against it since I've been affirming it all along.

until needed. When needed is when a State passes its own laws in violation of the Constitution
Yes, and if we've reached that point then it's time for Congress to pass legislation explaining how the 14th section 3 is adjudicated. Until then, it's up to the courts to sort out.
NO, it is not up to the courts since the authority to enforce the provisions have not been abdicated, formally or otherwise.

That bolded statement isn't mine; it was provided by the source as the legal analysis of the highlighted provision of Sec 5. It's a legal analysis, so it is a serious contention.
I didn't imply the bolded section was your words nor was it the contention I was talking about. I was referring to your argument - that only Congress can enforce the 14th amendment - that was not a serious contention. The bolded legal analysis doesn't contradict that because it doesn't argue that Congress is exclusive in this authority.
The language of "The Congress shall have the power to..." is pretty freaking clear. 

"In enforcing by appropriate legislation the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees against state denials, Congress has the discretion to adopt remedial measures..."

Legally, when the term "shall" is used, it has very specific legal connotation. Sec. 5 makes it uncontestably factually true that Congress does in fact have the exclusive authority in enforcing the provisions of the 14th. Period.

This language ensured that Congress would have enforcement powers, paralleling language used in the 13th Amendment."
And Congress never appropriated any legislation enforcing the outlaw of slavery, so under your legal theory slavery was essentially still legal in the United States until 2015 when the modern slavery act was passed.

This isn’t a serious contention. You're treating the language as if Congress was intended to be some sort of tribunal to determine whether the amendment had been violated. Their job is to pass laws, it's up to the judges to sort out whether those laws are violated. If Congress passes no further laws then the judges are forced to work with whatever has been passed. That's the way law in this country has worked for centuries.
*Facepalm*

That bolded statement isn't mine; it was provided by the source as the legal analysis of the highlighted provision of Sec 5. It's a legal analysis, so it is a serious contention.

Once again you prove you are definitely no constitutional (or legal) scholar. 

You clearly do not comprehend what an enabling clause is, it's intent and purpose, and how it is utilized. The Amendment itself IS the Constitutional (Supreme) Law of the land. Federal statutory legislation is not needed, until needed. When needed is when a State passes its own laws in violation of the Constitution, like TX subverting federal immigration statutes and Constitutional law. OR Congress can legislate laws to enforce the Amendment(s) via punishment/penalties upon those who violate the Amendments.

The Office of the President of the United States is both civil and military, 
No, it is not.
It is an Executive position, the lead role of the "Executive" branch of government. 
The Office oversees civil and military, it is not of either. 
POTUS is not an officer of the United States either. 

There is a recent Supreme Court opinion discussing the scope of the Constitution's "Officers of the United States"-language. In Free Enter. Fund v. Pub. Co. Accounting Oversight Bd(2010), Chief Justice Roberts observed that "[t]he people do not vote for the 'Officers of the United States.'" Rather, "officers of the United States" are appointed exclusively pursuant to Article II, Section 2 procedures. It follows that the President, who is an elected official, is not an "officer of the United States."

Section 5, again, says Congress "shall have" the "power" to "enforce" the provisions of the 14th. The "by appropriate legislation" tells Congress (and us) how they may execute their power. It does not tell Congress (or us) that if they do not act, then said power is transferred to the states. 
So as I addressed in the OP, your interpretation of it is that absent any appropriated legislation by Congress, Section 3 of the 14th amendment essentially doesn't exist.

I'm no constitutional scholar so I can't say whether that's right or wrong, but I get the sense that this would be news to the framers.
First and foremost, that is not my interpretation at all. 
If no one committed an act of any crime (doesn't matter which one) on the books anymore, does that mean that the law against any one of those crimes not committed anymore "essentially doesn't exist"? Of course not. The law is still there for [IF] and [WHEN] someone does.
The 14th Sec 3 doesn't cease to exist, it's still written within the Bill of Rights like every other enumerated right therein. 

Secondly, you are correct. You are no constitutional scholar. 
The framers didn't write the 14th. Republican John Bingham was considered the father of the 14th Amendment. 


At this link (above), hover the mouse over this sentence and the legislative historical legal analysis provided clearly states: This language ensured that Congress would have enforcement powers, paralleling language used in the 13th Amendment."

Let me repeat this since you dropped it since it has a direct effect on substantiating my argued position:

Tenth Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

‘‘The amendment states but a truism that all is retained which has not been surrendered.

Section 5, again, says Congress "shall have" the "power" to "enforce" the provisions of the 14th. The "by appropriate legislation" tells Congress (and us) how they may execute their power. It does not tell Congress (or us) that if they do not act, then said power is transferred to the states. 

The last sentence of Sec 3 merely implies that if they are contemplating pushing forward with legislation, but 2/3rd majority rejects said proposed legislation, then the disability is lifted.

@Double_R
What did you think about my point that because there is no official proceeding designated to deal with this amendment it becomes self executing?
Section 5, as you noted, states that Congress - not a court, not a Secretary of State, not the voters - Congress has the power to enforce ... the provisions of the 14th. Nowhere did it say that if Congress doesn't act, the power transfers to the States to enforce the provision. 

Tenth Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

‘‘The amendment states but a truism that all is retained which has not been surrendered. There is nothing in the history of its adoption to suggest that it was more than declaratoryof the relationship between the national and state governments asit had been established by the Constitution before the amendmentor that its purpose was other than to allay fears that the new national government might seek to exercise powers not granted, andthat the states might not be able to exercise fully their reservedpowers."

Sec 5 of the 14th delegates to Congress the powers to enforce the 14th. That power is retained by Congress, not surrendered by Congress, even if they do not act accordingly, that inaction =/= surrender.

John Schneider made a statement of opinion about Biden & Hunter, the left goes batsh*t crazy!!!
"A screenshot of his since-deleted response acquired by the outlet shows that it read, "Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung. Your son, too. Your response is..? Sincerely, John Schneider.""


Have IQs and reading comprehension fallen that sharply that everyone from the so-called Main Stream Media (i.e., journalists) to leftist progressive cannot read plain simple English?

I mean really. "I believe..." "...and should be..." = a statement of OPINION, not a legally bonafide actionable threat. 


And this non-verbal insinuation of violence against President Donald Trump by Kathy Griffin?

Then there is Joe Biden himself with his taunt directed at Trump about meeting him behind the bleachers and "punching him" (i.e., fight).

People on the left lost their damn minds when Trump was elected. 6 - 8 threats made against him, per day, for the first 6 months of his presidency? And we all know it hasn't waned since. Obviously. 

The left can claim carte blanche on all the violent rhetoric, acts, and obstruction they so desire...but if anyone on the right attempts to subvert them in any way, legal or otherwise, they cry foul. It's fucking pathetic.

And there is one clear Office or Position that isn't even mentioned in 14/3, the Office of the President.
So you believe the office of the United States Presidency is not an office under the United States, is that correct?

14/3: 
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress,
or elector of President and Vice-President,
or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,
or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress,
or as an officer of the United States,
    • Officer of the United States - definition
    • An officer of the United States is a functionary of the executive or judicial branches of the federal government of the United States to whom is delegated some part of the country's sovereign power. The term officer of the United States is not a title, but a term of classification for a certain type of official
    or as a member of any State legislature,
    or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, 

    No, I do not, and it is patently clear that the Office of the President is not even mentioned in 14/3. This is an established observable legal fact. 

    There was no insurrection on J6, and Trump had no hand/play/shall have engaged in (physically) during the riot of J6. 
    The person who incites and then gives comfort to those who physically engaged, is by definition engaging in it.
    I suggest you do a little legislative history as to the definition of giving aid and comfort to the enemy in 14/3 and its applicable definition/meaning in order to legally and correctly apply it. 

    "shall have engaged in" =/= giving aid and comfort. There is an "OR" separating those legal criteria (clauses). 

    SCOTUS will overturn Colorado, thereby quashing any other state's stupid attempt to kick Trump off the ballot. 
    Probably. After all a third of the court was appointed by Trump himself. This doesn't mean it's right.
    It's the only logical conclusion and has nothing to do with who appointed who. If the Justices want to redeem themselves in the eyes of America, they will uphold the law and the US Constitution and turn that case over with some very strong language as to CO's attempt to subvert the 1A and using that subversion to implement 14/3 in order to interfere in a federal election and the right of the voters shall not be tolerated.

    The reasoning behind it is pure intellectual garbage!!!
    And using a quack sociologist to come up with some imaginary BS about "secret code talk" from 2016 to 2020 to rationalize the unsubstantiated claim of Trump inciting the riot on J6...total idiocracy stuff. This country is going to shit in a drag queens mental (hand) basket.

    Nice way to expand voting rights; by not letting people that disagree with you on Trump vote.
    I am against taking Trump off the ballot, but I also believe we need to follow the constitution, which clearly says Trump can't run.

    It says nothing of the sort.

    14/3 was written in direct response to the Civil War and the Confederacy. Anyone in the Confederacy was targeted by 14/3. 
    And there is one clear Office or Position that isn't even mentioned in 14/3, the Office of the President.

    There was no insurrection on J6, and Trump had no hand/play/shall have engaged in (physically) during the riot of J6.

    If it's not transphobia, then you explain it, why are you obsessed with the genitals of Transexuals?
    I, like no one else against kowtowing to the mental illness and delusions of grandeur of those claiming to be a sex/gender they are not, are not obsessed with the genitals of anyone. It has nothing to do with their genitals and everything to do with their mental illness. MENTAL. In the head. Gender Dysphoria is a few criterion away from Schizophrenia. 

    I mean, I get it that you don't want immigrants poisoning our blood, I understand that you guys think it's important to maintain the purity of the race, but why hate Transexuals too?   
    No one hates transexuals. The issue is forcing acceptance and changing the English Language to force that acceptance and tolerance of their mental delusions. 

    They are like a half percent of the population,
    No, they are like 0.6% after the fad took hold. Prior to the proliferation of their insanity, they were less than 0.4% of the population. 

    have you ever even met one to hate? 
    Irrelevant. I don't need to meet or know any mental basket case claiming to be the opposite sex or non-binary or whatever delusion they are asserting to KNOW they are mentally ill. It's called EDUCATION. 

    If you have met one, did you ask them to show you their genitals?  I mean, if that's what it takes for you to use the preferred pronoun, I'm sure they will pass and tell you they don't really care what you want to call them, I'm sorry, but no matter how much you obsess, you still don't get to see their naughty parts.

    But hey, if it's really that important to you, I'm sure there are web sites you can go to. 

    Freak.
    This sophomoric banality makes you the freak, not I.

    Just because the term can be found in a dictionary to appease the SJW on the left doesn't make it factually true.
    No one is afraid of (an irrational fear thereof) trans people. They just don't want to be forced to pander, accept, let alone tolerate their mental illness.

    Actually, he's not wrong per se. There are people in the world, possibly millions throughout history, who went their entire lives believing they were women but had XY chromosomes. There are various intersex conditions to this effect and sometimes the only visible symptom was/is infertility.
    Oh no, he/she is most certainly wrong. 

    Those you speak of are a statistically significant few compared to the overall worldwide total population of normal human beings. So few, in fact, that it renders them insignificant to the "big picture" of normal reality. 

    The conventional modern understanding has an object as being reducible to its parts.
    Word salad.

    Even conservative efforts to define gender by DNA or phenotype are a byproduct of modernity.
    They're not a byproduct of anything. They are the direct result of observable reality. 

    But in the past, Western philosophy, namely Scholasticism, saw objects possessing what is called "essence", which simplistically can be defined as the answer to the question "what is the thing". For example, a horse is a horse. A tree is a tree. A human is a human, a man is a man, and a woman is a woman.

    Essence is a metaphysical property (sic) and you cannot break essence down to a DNA test, metallurgical analysis, x-ray, or so on. It's immeasurable as such concepts as, for example, the soul.
    Essence: The inherent, unchanging nature of a thing or class of things.

    Trans =/= essence of anything normal. It is by definition, mental illness. 
    Mental illness quashes the "essence" of that which should be "unchangeable." 

    In the case of gender, when liberals say it can't be given an absolute rational definition that applies to all human cases, they are right. Of course, that doesn't make gender less real nor abrogate the consequences of throwing said reality out the window.
    Reality is male and female, end of reality.

    Transphobes say:

    "If you have a penis and testicles, you are a boy."

    So if a person surgically removes those, then he stops being a boy?

    Checkmate, transphobes! You just proved that (sic) person can change genders!

    @<<<Sam_Flynn>>>
    It goes beyond external genitals
    Maybe for you, but thats (sic) irrelevant to the topic.

    This topic only deals with those who claim that penis and vagina determine who is male and who is female.
    No one claims what you're claiming. Especially those you claim, rather ascribe the fallacious label of "transphobes." No such thing as a "transphobe."

    When anyone asserts the external observation, it goes without saying the internal is also addressed. Cannot have the external without the internal.
    So, it is VERY MUCH germane to this topic. 

    Maybe look beyond the walls of your cardboard house and pay attention for once might help, linguistically that is.
