The Fourth Circuit will hear Cawthorn v Amalfi, 22-1251, at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3. This is the case over whether North Carolina election officials may hold administrative hearings on whether Congressman Madison Cawthorn meets the qualifications to run for Congress. Cawthorn had filed this lawsuit to stop such proceedings, and he had won in U.S. District Court. That Court had ruled that no one can be challenged on 14th Amendment grounds (relating to “insurrection”) because in the 19th century, Congress granted a blanket amnesty to all persons in the past and the future. The U.S. District Court had also ruled that the North Carolina voters who are challenging Cawthorn cannot intervene in Cawthorn’s lawsuit.
