1. What it DOES require is an act of the state legislature.

Which would be a bill of attainder, which is prohibited.

2. No, that's not what the Judge said.

State Legislatures are not in the mix.

8. That is what SCOTUS will say.

I'm surprised Luttig doesn't see it.

3. Judge Luttig has got Trump hung out to dry

There is the exact explanation that fits the facts of the wording in 14A Sec 3. No conviction required. Automatic disqualification, only Congress can remove that by a 2/3 vote and no way Trump could muster that margin. The Judge says Trump was in rebellion against the Constitution. There it is. A violation of oath of office.

4. That's what I heard, too.

5. Professor Tribe and Judge Luttig has a good explanation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment

6. It's akin to trying to stay on the job after the Board of Directors has told you to go

7. And what about giving aid or comfort to those who did rebel?

Trump does that in public view nearly every day.
