This morning on C-SPAN Washington Journal, University of Maryland Constitutional Law Professor Mark Graber discusses Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. He points out that a suit against Trump's ballot access would be a civil action. There would be a trial, but his participation in a diberate, planned insurrection could be proven by a preponderance of the evidence rather than beyond a reasonable doubt. #cspanwj #politics #USpolitics #Trump
Professor Mark Graber, on C-SPAN Washington Journal, defines insurrection, under common law, as "to resist the implementation of federal law by force or violence". If Trump were found guilty of that in a civil trial, by a preponderance of the evidence, he must be barred from office under the US Constitution, Amendment 14, Section 3. #cspanwj #politics #USpolitics #Trump
