A murder of leading law professors have argued that the Fourteenth Amendment is self-executing and requires local election officials to remove Trump from the ballot, as though he were a “stable genius” who had not reached the age of 35. Taking their lead, citizens’ groups have commenced actions in at least 21 states to disqualify Donald Trump from running for President because he engaged in an insurrection.
Trump has prevailed in three of these cases, but it is only the first lap around the track…

It’s not like blue states will just sit idly by and let him do those things, it’ll be a civil war

Its probably a joke, a murder is a group of crows.
Well yes, but professions that wear uniforms that have animal print can be reasonably compared to that animal. Judges wear crow print robes

I believe the author is making a joke about law professors. A group of lawyers being compared to a murder of crows.
Seems pretty clear that Courts should uphold state AGs doing so. It’s what Gorsuch thought about a state removing an immigrant from the allow a decade ago.
Otherwise, any kid from anywhere is going to run for president in 2028. Make the college application of the century.
Because the powers that be are accelerationists.
I doubt any judge would actually remove Trump from the ballot, and even if they did there is no way it would survive in the appellate court.
All this is going to do is further bolster Trump’s claims that there is a witch hunt against him.
I don’t know, the Constitution is pretty clear that Trump is disqualified by the factual finding that he instigated and supported an insurrection. Any appellate court that strikes it down is going to reveal itself to be severely partisan.

The fact that every court to address this issue has said this is not the case suggests otherwise.
It suggests that every judge ruling on it is afraid for their life if they uphold the Constitution.
… or that there isn’t a legal basis for it because, y’know, that’s kinda the whole point of judges.
So judges can’t make bad rulings, even for good reasons? Interesting.
They most definitely can — it’s just not generally because they’re in fear of their lives lmfao.
