The ambition to legally bar Trump from the Presidency rather than defeat him by ballot would not have become so plausible to so many but for a scholarly paper by the conservative constitutional-law professors William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen.
The paper, titled 'The Sweep and Force of Section Three,' gives conservative cover to liberal fantasy, arguing that the Constitution disqualifies Trump from becoming President again because of his 'participation in the attempted overthrow of the 2020 presidential election.'
In December, the Colorado Supreme Court and Maine's secretary of state each declared that the Constitution disqualifies Trump from the ballot. Other states could soon follow.
