The Law That Disarmed Trump Is Unfair, Illogical, and Constitutionally Dubious

The article discusses the legal and constitutional issues surrounding the application of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to former President Donald Trump, which was used to disqualify him from holding office due to his alleged involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot. The piece argues that this law, originally intended to prevent former Confederates from holding office post-Civil War, is being misapplied in Trump's case. It highlights several points of contention: the ambiguity in defining what constitutes an "insurrection," the lack of due process in determining Trump's guilt, and the potential for this law to be used as a political weapon. The author, Alan Dershowitz, contends that the law is unfair, illogical, and constitutionally dubious because it bypasses traditional legal proceedings, potentially violating Trump's rights to due process and equal protection under the law.
