Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted August 21, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 21, 2023 Federalist Society members say no along with several other ‘conservative’ scholars… https://x.com/rpsagainsttrump/status/1693294638218588355?s=46&t=qtfBE6Hx9UNW86ETpTlGNQ Former conservative federal judge Michael Luttig says Donald Trump should be barred from the presidency under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment: "The people who wrote the 14th Amendment were not fools. They realized that if those people who tried to overturn the country, who tried to get rid of our peaceful transitions of power, are again put in power, that would be the end of the nation, the end of democracy." https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/4155537-the-constitution-bars-trump-from-holding-public-office-ever-again/ While some on the right portray accountability for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as just another partisan dispute, two prominent conservative legal scholars have made the case that the Constitution disqualifies former President Trump from public office. Last week, law professors William Baude of the University of Chicago and Michael Stokes Paulsen of the University of St. Thomas — both members of the conservative Federalist Society — argued in a law review article that Trump is already constitutionally forbidden from serving in public office because of Section Three of the 14th Amendment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
