Scott cannot simply be who his is, or is not. The Trump 14th Amendment Insurrection clause push is onLet’s talk 14th Amendment Often referred to as the “substantive due process” clause and where you can find the “priviledges and immunities” language, along with equal protectionBTW why this isn’t being mentioned as a way to challenge abortion laws, I’m not sure, but that’s another showLanguage of 14th: 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Civil Rights (1868) | National ArchivesVery Smart Legal Scholar ArticleQuote from article: The Congress that proposed the Fourteenth Amendment rightly regarded the situation as outrageous—not only morally, but practically. If former Confederates held the levers of federal and state government power, effective “reconstruction” of the political order and any hope of extending the full and equal protection of the laws to the newly freed former slaves would be at an end.Section 3 is the insurrection clause: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.Potential problem: section 5 places enforcement with Congress to make laws that enforce the provisions of the 14th, but wording of Sec 3 seems to automatically attach, or be “self executing” in legal termsLaurence Tribe: If Trump doesn’t qualify for insurrection clause, nobody wouldMinnesota challenge (just the latest similar in Colorado)
