The 14th Amendment clause that attorneys argue should disqualify former President Trump from Colorado’s 2024 ballot can apply to presidents, an expert witness testified Wednesday, going directly against the Trump campaign’s arguments.

Attorneys called on a 14th Amendment expert in the hearing’s third day, Indiana University law professor Gerard Magliocca, to lay out exactly how to define “insurrection” and how it should apply to presidents.

In the struggle to forge solidarity in our divided society, the Constitution is not the problem but the solution.

We are living through a moment of intense division in American public life, and it often seems like our constitutional system exacerbates our bitter conflicts.

Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation, labeled the Constitution “trash” in an appearance on ABC’s The View on Friday.

Appearing on the program to promote his new book, Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution, Mystal was asked by co-host Ana Navarro-Cárdenas if the Constitution “is a living document,” or a “sacred document.” Mystal responded by declaring that “it’s certainly not sacred, all right, let’s start there. The Constitution is kind of trash.”

In Justin Trudeau's mind, he's always the victim.

Trudeau, the boyish, blackface-wearing prime minister of Canada, views himself as an oppressed underclass. His oppressors are Canadian truckers — working people with concerns about his vaccine mandates and his long-standing border lockdown. He believes that by staging a protest in his capital city of Ottawa, the truckers are committing treason — or something very close to it.

The Constitution must be defended — except when it must be jettisoned.

We’ve heard much upon the anniversary of January 6 about how Donald Trump wanted to distort the Constitution to get Vice President Mike Pence to try to throw the election to him a year ago.

And this was, indeed, a cockamamie, counter-constitutional scheme. Neither the Framers of the Constitution nor the drafters of the Twelfth Amendment, the provision in question that day, intended to invest unilateral power in one person to decide presidential elections.

Christina Bambrick, assistant professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame joins us to debate Jeffrey Sikkenga, executive director of the Ashbrook Center and professor of political science at Ashland University, over whether the U.S. Constitution needs to be updated.
