Conservative, originalist law professors Will Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen have a new paper out arguing that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies Donald Trump from holding public office and that "the case is not even close."

@Jezibaba I think this is both wise and accurate. My questions are:
Who will disqualify him?
Why not do it now?

@jackdetate I hold to two opinions. One is everybody's moving slow because we know the kind of revenge that the right will take if they're ever voted back into the presidency. They have the house right now and look at the clown show they're running. The second opinion is I'm not sure how many aren't complicit. And by that I mean the reason we're not going after people in Congress is because there aren't that many who can claim to be squeaky clean. Hence, Jack Smith, not of the DOJ.

@jackdetate We'd also need a majority. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@jackdetate OK one solution

Perhaps by some blue state election officials barring him from the ballot, leading to a supreme court case where it gets decided for all states--
