Illegally preventing Trump from running is net detrimental to our nation.

Illegally preventing Trump from running is net detrimental to our nation.

It was Evelyn Beatrice Hall, (not Voltaire) who wrote, “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it". She better than all others expressed the essence of the “Bill of Rights first amendment to the USA's constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”.

A democratic republic must and is always vulnerable due to its dependence upon the judgment of its citizens who elect the government's officeholders. We seldom if ever have had lesser, and sometimes have had better government than we deserve. We voters make our own choices.

I'm among those of us who believe ex-president Donald Trump to be inferior to all others who are or have ever been president. He was and is unsuitable for any government administrative office. But I'm opposed to those who only “pay lip service” to our constitution and our democratic republic when they advocate by less than legal, or by extraordinary legal means. Trump should be prevented from seeking or being re-elected president of the United States.
Only until he's tried and convicted of sedition against the United States of America, should Trump be prevented from holding any office in our federal government. Respectfully, Supposn
