Kayleigh McEnany Shares Massive News

Kayleigh McEnany criticized Democrats' hypocrisy regarding the Supreme Court by highlighting their recent attempts to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the ballot during an ongoing presidential election.

McEnany, who served as the White House press secretary under Trump, discussed with former Deputy Independent Counsel Sol Wisenberg the left's overt attempts to undermine the Supreme Court's legitimacy.

Here is the transcript of their conversation:

WISENBERG: "I think they will consider presidential immunity in the context of criminal prosecutions. They might also review the gag order. It's crucial that they aim for as much unanimity as possible. I don't expect this decision to be particularly close. The section of the 14th Amendment utilized by the Colorado Supreme Court isn't self-executing, in my view. That was also the position of Chief Justice Salmon Chase in 1869, shortly after the 14th Amendment was ratified. This isn't just about election interference, though it is; it's another example of Trump derangement syndrome within the judiciary. I say this not as a supporter of President Trump, but these efforts are very disturbing and anti-democratic."

McENANY: "I'd love to hear your theory on this. Other legal analysts have mentioned—and as you know, I went to law school—textualism, history, and precedent are crucial. Many argue that the president isn't listed in this section intentionally. The framers considered every word carefully. Do you think Section 3 of the 14th Amendment even applies to a former president?"

WISENBERG: "That's highly disputed. There are strong arguments on both sides. It's not clear to me that it applies to the president. If the text isn't clear, you refer to history and structure. Some questions about the clause's meaning are close, but a key point, discussed in one of the dissents, is that this section is not self-executing. Congress must enforce this disqualification clause. They did pass a criminal law, 18 USC 2383, but Jack Smith didn't indict Trump under that. Additionally, due process is necessary to disqualify someone from the ballot. The process here was inadequate—Trump's team couldn't subpoena documents or witnesses. There wasn't a fair trial in any sense."
