Summary
Constitutional scholars, both Republican and Democrat, are unifying behind one position: section 3 of the 14 Amendment disqualifies Donald Trump from holding any federal office in the future, including the presidency, because he engaged in an insurrection against the United States, after taking an oath to support the Constitution. Scholars say the constitutional disqualification is self-executing, requiring no act of Congress, no act of any state legislature, and no court proceeding, civil or criminal. Glenn breaks down, in layman's terms, the arguments made in a lengthy law review article authored by two conservative constitutional law professors, William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen. Then, more and more of Donald Trump's aides, associates, and underlings are beginning to point the criminal finger at Donald Trump. As Politico reported, " Trump's co-defendants are already starting to turn against him." Glenn points out - in large conspiracy cases, there is always a point in time when co-defendants begin flipping against the bigger criminal fish. In Trump's prosecutions, that time has arrived.

| 0:16.0 | Many constitutional scholars are now saying that Donald Trump is already disqualified from holding |
| 0:21.1 | office again. Glenn explains why many people believe this is true. |
| 0:25.4 | So friends, you know doubt have been hearing a lot about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, |
| 0:33.0 | the disqualification clause. Constitutional scholars, professors, academics, from the left and from |
| 0:42.6 | the right. Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals have been lining up behind one unified |
| 0:52.1 | position. The Donald Trump is already disqualified from holding federal office again, |
| 1:01.0 | from serving another term as president. So friends, let me state this as plainly and directly |
| 1:10.5 | as I can based on the 14th Amendment. No person shall be president of the United States, if |
| 1:20.3 | that person previously took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, but who |
| 1:28.9 | thereafter engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or gave aid and comfort |
| 1:39.1 | to those who did. If you are that person and Donald Trump is, you are disqualified from holding |
| 1:49.7 | office in the future. And friends, there are other disqualifications, not unlike |
| 1:57.7 | that disqualification that can be found in the Constitution. For example, |
| 2:04.4 | the US Constitution states that the president must be a natural born citizen of the United States, |
| 2:11.4 | be at least 35 years old and must have been a resident of the United States for 14 years. |
| 2:20.1 | Friends, there are so many constitutional scholars who are lining up behind this position, |
| 2:27.7 | this interpretation of the Constitution. There is retired federal judge and lifelong conservative |
| 2:36.2 | Michael Ludwig. There is Harvard Law Professor, Constitutional scholar and lifelong Democrat |
| 2:44.6 | Lawrence Tribe. There are two conservative law professors who recently authored a lengthy |
| 2:54.7 | law review article on this subject. Professor William Boud of the University of Chicago Law School, |
