Lawyers argue whether the Constitution’s ‘insurrection’ clause blocks Trump from the 2024 ballot

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:53:21 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Lawyers for a group of Colorado voters on Monday focused on the January 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol and former President Donald Trump’s role, opening a trial that could determine whether the Constitution’s insurrection clause bars Trump from running again for the White House.Attorney Eric Olson recounted Trump’s violent rhetoric preceding the Jan. 6 attack and his encouraging a crowd that came within “40 feet” of the vice president when they stormed the Capitol. He said Trump “summoned and organized the mob.”“We are here because Trump claims, after all that, that he has the right to be president again,” Olson said. “But our Constitution, the shared charter of our nation, says he cannot do so.” Trump’s legal team and presidential campaign assailed the lawsuit as little more than an attempt by Democrats to derail his attempt to reclaim his old job. Trump is so far dominating the Republican presidential primary.Before the trial on the lawsuit began, his lawyers filed...

Paul Ronzheimer is the deputy editor-in-chief of BILD and a senior journalist reporting for Axel Springer, the parent company of POLITICO. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog has backed French President Emmanuel Macron’s plan for a joint coalition to fight Hamas. “I like Macron’s idea. I thought it was innovative, original, it makes sense,” Herzog told Axel Springer, POLITICO’s parent company. Referring to Hamas, Herzog added that “this threat must be eradicated by a major effort of the international community such as they’ve done to ISIS.”During Macron’s visit to Israel last week, the French leader suggested the remit of the international coalition fighting the Islamic State terror group should be widened to fight Hamas. “We should build a regional and international coalition to battle against terrorist groups that threaten us all,” he said.Macron’s office took a more cautious stance following the president’s comment...

France sues Commission over primacy of English in EU hiring

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:53:21 GMT

The use of Euro-English and Globish, a simplified version of English used by non-native speakers, may have become widespread in the EU, but France has never given up hope of Brussels bureaucrats speaking French.On the contrary, Paris is now attacking the bloc for hiring some new employees based on assessments conducted in English. Brussels is currently hiring new officials in fields such as space, defense and economics, using a selection process involving some tests that are only given in English. Paris contends that those criteria favor anglophone candidates over their rivals, and has filed two complaints before the EU’s top court; one of them was made public on Monday. For France, English-only tests amount to discrimination and violate the EU treaties. The bloc’s rules generally provide that all EU citizens should be treated equally, regardless of nationality. Rules on recruiting EU officials also ban language-based discrimination in general, and accept it only under certain...
