I'm joined by Glenn Kirchner, former top federal prosecutor, the host of Justice Matters,

0:06.6

Glenn. I want to talk about this issue, disqualification of Donald Trump under the 14th Amendment

0:13.8

Section 3. I've seen you do some videos of it. Brian Tyler Cohen do videos about, but videos of it. I've seen a lot of videos

0:21.9

that have gone into this issue. And I want to really kind of flesh it out as well. You and I

0:29.5

both seem to agree that the Supreme Court got it wrong when they required that there be some sort of federal legislation from Congress

0:42.1

that is required in order for there to be disqualification, that the Supreme Court went beyond even

0:51.0

the question that was posed about whether Donald Trump could be on the ballot

0:57.4

in Colorado where nine of the Supreme Court justices thought that Colorado did not have the

right to disqualify Donald Trump. By the way, I want to get your take on it. I still agree,

in protest of the majority opinion that said federal legislation is required. And they said,

1:43.4

that's not in the text of the 14th

1:45.5

Amendment Section 3. In fact, 14th Amendment Section 3 talks about that you would need two-thirds of

1:52.1

Congress to remove the disability. So why would you simply need a simple majority of Congress to

1:58.5

disqualify, but two-thirds to remove the disability. It makes no sense.

2:03.3

But let's just start with the premise of what the Supreme Court ruled. You saw, Glenn, the 30-minute

2:09.9

video that I did. Was there any kind of flaws in my logic? Was there any kind of disinfo?

2:16.4

There's some suggestions out there, or at least my recitation

2:19.7

of what it is that the Supreme Court said, if I was lecturing, here's what they said. Did I get it
