it is not a simple question, and anyone who argues it is isn t thinking hard enough about what is in front of the supreme court. late last summer, a bunch of legal scholars, including some prominent conservatives said, wait, don t print the ballots for the 2024 primary season too soon because the candidates might not all be qualified. specifically the front runner for the gop nomination, donald trump. trump, these scholars argue, violated the 14th amendment, section 3, which says if you engage in insurrection or give aid or comfort to those who have, you cannot hold elected office in this country. essentially you can t swear an oath to the constitution after you tried to overturn that same constitution. looking at what donald trump did on january 6th, the scholars argue it is not even close. trump absolutely violated amendment 14, section 3, and that the secretaries of state across the country are duty-bound to bar him from the ballot. if not them, then voters or perhaps anot
