well, it is shaping up to be a really big week for the country, because this week, the supreme court is going to hear oral arguments on whether the 14th amendment disqualifies a donald trump from the ballot. and today, just a few hours ago, actually, we got a pretty good window into how trump s legal team plans to make their arguments. and let me tell you, this brief, i read it today, it includes a fair number of arguments from an alternate universe. for starters, trump s lawyers claim that the former president is not in fact and officer of the united states, which is who the 14th amendment covers. now, this is not a new or surprising argument necessarily being made by the trump team. but let s be real. it kind of defies logic. i mean, how could it be that the president of the united states is not an officer of the united states with an obligation, by the way, to abide by the constitution. it s kind of what the founders had in mind. but then, there s the other, perhaps even m
