The tweets discuss the application of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to disqualify Trump from civil proceedings related to his alleged role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. It is emphasized that this disqualification is a civil issue, not a criminal one, and does not require a prior criminal conviction for insurrection. The 14th Amendment is described as obscure, and there are references to the law not requiring indictment or conviction for insurrection. Additionally, a resource addressing objections to disqualifying Trump under Section 3 is mentioned.
Remember, disqualifying Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment, Section 3 is a CIVIL not a CRIMINAL penalty. It does not require a criminal conviction! LEARN THE LAW: https://t.co/xtog3myE5r
For anyone interested in the somewhat obscurantist argument that the 14th amendment, section 3 does not cover an insurrectionist president, or anyone befuddled by Kurt Lash's op-ed in today's NYT, @mgraber_posting at Balkinization is very handy. https://t.co/J2hBtqJJgo
Because the 14th amendment says NOTHING about indictment or conviction for insurrection. Read the damned amendment. https://t.co/STzQddOTar
THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT IN THE 14TH AMENDMENT SECTION 3 FOR YOU TO BE "CONVICTED OF INSURRECTION" TO BE DISQUALIFIED. It says only that you ENGAGED IN INSURRECTION. Indictment or conviction is moot.
ah yes, the extremely obscure 14th Amendment https://t.co/xezOMyPfko
#Trump exposure to 14A. “The absence of a criminal conviction for insurrection doesn't immunize him from civil proceedings arising from his role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Disqualification under Section 3 is a civil issue, not a criminal one.“ https://t.co/yRn5VKVhoi
Why disqualification under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment doesn't require a prior criminal conviction on charges of insurrection. https://t.co/BGjuWTMQDp
"Why Section 3 Disqualification Doesn't Require a Prior Conviction on Criminal Charges of Insurrection." Linked post addresses a common objection to disqualifying Trump. https://t.co/cjFf16cGmD
