The left will do anything it takes to avoid acknowledging that Donald Trump not only won the election but did so in spectacular fashion, leaving the outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris in the dust. Rather than face this reality, some liberals are cooking up legal gymnastics, hoping to manipulate the Constitution in a way that could make a circus performer blush. These efforts are less about respecting democracy and more about finding a backdoor to keep Trump from setting foot in the Oval Office, even if it means waving around the nuclear option like children playing with firecrackers.
This latest move is spearheaded by a pair of attorneys, Evan Davis and David Schulte, who propose leveraging the rarely invoked Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to block Trump from taking office. They claim that Trump’s role in the January 6 chaos constitutes an “insurrection” against the Constitution. However, all it really demonstrates is the left’s desperation to sideline the will of the voters, as they grasp at any legal straw before the inauguration. Their strategy sounds more like a poorly written plot twist than a legitimate constitutional debate.
I Think these lawyers should be arrested for engaging in treason. Liberal Lawyers Urge Longshot Nuclear Option To Stop Trump From Taking Office https://t.co/e7iB3PTBxv via @dailycaller

Although many would say the suggestion of calling in Congress to challenge the votes is as likely to succeed as finding a unicorn, some Democrats are still pushing for a stand against Trump’s electoral victory. They believe they have a duty to uphold their interpretation of the Constitution, which conveniently has no bearing on what the American public actually wants. The irony here is palpable: an attempt to de-legitimize a legally elected president smacks of hypocrisy.
Now, the mechanics of how such a challenge could be executed are laid out like a bad episode of a procedural drama. A petition must be signed by 20 percent of Congress, which, if received by a majority in both houses, would lead to Trump’s votes being disregarded, casting Harris as the surprise winner. Setting aside the improbability of this actually happening, it shows just how far the left is willing to go, even going so far as to dream in full color about a Harris presidency—much to the unwillingness of most Americans, who already cast their ballots.
In a rare moment of clarity, some Democrats have acknowledged they’ll accept the outcome of the election, even if it doesn’t fit neatly into their narrative. Representatives like Joe Morelle from New York have echoed a sentiment of respecting the wishes of the American people, suggesting that maybe, just maybe, it’s time to put the past behind and have a normal transition of power. Even Pramila Jayapal, known for her outspoken resistance to Trump, seems reluctant to dive back into that fray, perhaps realizing that most Americans are tuning out the soap opera.
Rather than rallying around their lawyers and convoluted legal theories, it would seem that many in the Democratic Party are finding common sense can sometimes prevail, despite overwhelming pressure from their activist base. Perhaps they’re finally getting the memo that real Americans want to move forward rather than rehash old grievances, and in the end, there’s no legal sleight of hand that will change the fact that the voters have spoken.
