We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
[ Editor’s note: Go to Politico and read this engrossing piece in its entirety. Scroll down beyond the popups, put your thinking cap on, and read on about the heart stopping ins and outs of the 2024 election that lurk beyond the hairpin turns on the mountainside. Contemplate what our global adversaries will be doing while America is taking a constitutional recess from its podium of superpower, i.e. diddling around in the back room.
Some Americans seem to be playing with fire, throwing the “civil war” concept around. That would only be survivable in a cartoon universe. Civil wars have long lasting multigenerational fallout.
But Professors Ackerman and Magliocca lay out a direction for the courts to take that would clarify the Disqualification Clause (Section 3 of the 14th Amendment), and scrutiny from which Trump cannot escape. Erica P. Wissinger ]
