Former law review editors lay out roadmap for not certifying Trump's win
Raw StoryPresident-elect Donald Trump should be disqualified under the Fourteenth Amendment's Insurrection Clause when Congress gathers to certify the results of the 2024 election, wrote Evan Davis and David Schulte for The Hill. The two former Ivy League law review editors, who also previously clerked for Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, freely acknowledge the odds of this happening are basically nil — but laid out their most compelling case that Congress does, at least, have clear power and duty to do make this decision, were it so inclined. Those three forums were Trump's second impeachment trial, a state court ruling in Colorado, and the bipartisan House January 6 Committee. The Supreme Court shot down efforts by state election officials to disqualify Trump on the basis of insurrection earlier this year, Davis and Schulte noted — but all they ruled was that that isn't the correct venue to disqualify a presidential candidate, not that Trump did not engage in insurrection.
