Renowned Law Professor Bruce Ackerman here writes at Politico that if any U.S. Supreme Court Justice believes in originalism, that Justice must vote to remove Donald Trump from ballots. “Originalism” is the judicial theory that the Constitution should be interpreted in line with the framers’ thinking.”
Ackerman appears not to know that when the 14th amendment was written, no one could prevent any candidate from running. Ackerman would like to see the Supreme Court “prohibit his candidacy”. He says if the Court is faithful to originalism, “Trump won’t be running.”
The authors of the Fourteenth Amendment obviously did not intend section three to prevent anyone from running. They knew that government at that time had no means to prevent anyone from running, because there were no government-printed ballots. Ballots were private. Clearly, if the Justices use originalism, they will rule that Trump can run, but if he is elected, he can’t be sworn in.
Clearly, they’ll rule he can be sworn in. For one thing, he’s not an insurrectionist, and for another, it’s not up to them to decide, as congress is clearly the body to rule on that.
The entire fake news article is ridiculous, filled with erroneous presumptions from start to finish.
Biden is the insurrectionist.
Is the supreme court voting in Biden’s ballot access?

Exactly. Voters should be able to choose as they want, but Congress must enforce the qualifications clause for a person to hold office.
I’m glad we agree.
