The 14th Amendment disqualifies Trump

[Fiendish Thingy]

27. If the process unfolds that way, beware

Prepare for dozens, if not hundreds of Dems to be disqualified by MAGA Secretaries of state and MAGA judges.

If Trump’s disqualification without a conviction reaches SCOTUS, I would expect them to overturn it, ruling that no finding of fact has been established under due process and the rules of evidence. They would cite as precedent the fact that every disqualification since the civil war (that is, after the initial wave of disqualifications of Confederate soldiers and officials following ratification of the 14th amendment) has required a conviction. There have only been 8 disqualifications, although there have been numerous other cases that could have met the criteria, but no relevant conviction was obtained.

I have heard no reports of a single SoS taking steps to disqualify Trump, nor do I expect to, unless he is convicted.
