A murder of leading law professors have argued that the Fourteenth Amendment is self-executing and requires local election officials to remove Trump from the ballot, as though he were a “stable genius” who had not reached the age of 35. Taking their lead, citizens’ groups have commenced actions in at least 21 states to disqualify Donald Trump from running for President because he engaged in an insurrection.

Trump has prevailed in three of these cases, but it is only the first lap around the track…

    TIL a group of professors is called a murder.

    edit: Actually it’s not and either the AI is tripping or the journalist is pulling new terms out of their ass for effect.

      Its probably a joke, a murder is a group of crows.

        Well yes, but professions that wear uniforms that have animal print can be reasonably compared to that animal. Judges wear crow print robes

      I believe the author is making a joke about law professors. A group of lawyers being compared to a murder of crows.

    Seems pretty clear that Courts should uphold state AGs doing so. It’s what Gorsuch thought about a state removing an immigrant from the allow a decade ago.

    Otherwise, any kid from anywhere is going to run for president in 2028. Make the college application of the century.

      I don’t know, the Constitution is pretty clear that Trump is disqualified by the factual finding that he instigated and supported an insurrection. Any appellate court that strikes it down is going to reveal itself to be severely partisan.
