    Applying the Disqualification Clause to Trump’s actions should not be a partisan issue. The article is particularly significant since it was written by two conservative legal scholars who subscribe to originalism, long a marginalized theory but now ubiquitous among the right-wingers on the Supreme Court. The reasoning of Baude and Paulsen may well resonate with them.

      Right? What an utterly naive interpretation of mechanism in the American court system.
