The increasingly influential New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) will file an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday, opposing the moves across several U.S. states to keep President Donald J. Trump off the ballot for the 2024 election.
Gavin Wax, the club’s President, told The National Pulse exclusively: “Activist judges in the Colorado Supreme Court engaged in an unprecedented contortion of the English language to satisfy their political ends. Our amicus brief demonstrates that the authors of the Fourteenth Amendment narrowly tailored the scope of its restrictions. The Colorado Supreme Court’s unprecedented action relies on modern and colloquial usages of precise verbiage, showing how desperate they are to satisfy leftwing activists at the expense of justice.”
The brief, which can be read in full here, asserts:
…someday, perhaps sooner than President Trump’s political opponents may realize, their misguided interpretation of the Insurrection Clause will work against them. Armed with a weaponized Insurrection Clause, partisan officials (Democrat and Republican alike), particularly in states overwhelmingly controlled by a single party, will find so-called evidence to disqualify despised political opponents from the ballot for having “engaged in insurrection” against the United States, and this process will be repeated ad infinitum.
Lawyer Ed Paltzik told The National Pulse: “President Trump’s political opponents have come to a conclusion that terrifies them: if the 2024 election is conducted fairly, he will win and return to the White House. This would bring their Marxist, America-last, woke agenda to a screeching halt. They will try anything – including misuse of the Insurrection Clause. We are honored and proud to team with Gavin Wax, the New York Young Republican Club, and the National Constitutional Law Union on this amicus brief supporting President Trump.”
National Constitutional Law Union’s John Pierce added: “The attempts to keep Donald Trump off the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment are a brazen and outrageous attack on the Constitution. The weaponization of our legal system must stop, and the NCLU intends to stop it. We are honored to file this amicus brief in support of President Trump, working alongside the amazing leadership team at the NYYRC. The American People will decide who the 47th President is, not leftist judges and unelected bureaucrats.”
