  1. #Illinois judge says #14thAmendment bars #Trump from #2024 primary #ballot

    #SCOTUS is currently considering the broader dispute.

    A judge in Cook County, IL, on Wed ruled that §3 of the 14th Amendment, aka the "#InsurrectionClause," bars Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot.

    The order overrules a Jan determination from the IL BOE that Trump could remain #eligible.

    I hope this 'has legs' &/or roots. There is debate among legal experts: Some say it is de facto an end to #TrumpVirus eligibility for office. Others say, "not unless he's convicted".

    Scholars reply, that's not what the Constitution says - #Section3 of #14th Amendment fits perfectly.
