Laurence Tribe described how Trump can be excluded from ballot [View all]
Apologies - I don't have a video link. This was a segment on 'The Last Word' three or four days ago.
Prof. Tribe described the mechanism by which Trump could be left off the ballots in the 2024 election.
First: The issue is down to the Secretary of State in the individual states to decide whether he is eligible under the 14th amendment or not to be a candidate on the ballot.
Obviously, Democratic SoS's will say no, Repugs will say yes.
Whatever the outcome of the State SoS decision, it will be challenged in higher courts, ultimately ending up in the Supreme Court. At this point I think Prof. Tribe rolled his eyes.
If the above is all correct, this potentially means 50 or so cases need to go to SCOTUS before the '24 election.
To paraphrase Rachel, have I understood this correctly? Is this a viable path to making sure he is not on the 24 ballot? TIA for your input.
