In the court filing, Castro argues Trump violated the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bars anyone who engaged in or provided aid or comfort to an insurrection from holding office.

    Didn’t MTG also provide aid and comfort? Would love to see more lawsuits like this for other traitors.

      Lots of people run afoul of 14A S3, and I would expect that once any of these challenges on its basis succeeds, the moves will begin swiftly to address Trump and others in many states.

        Lots of people run afoul of 14A S3,

        Yeah, it’s a habit I’m trying to break. People keep telling me that I have to watch out for 14A S3, but I just can’t help occasionally committing a little light treason. 14AS3 is a constant topic around our dinner table, discussed only less than the merits of 26 U.S. Code § 36B of the US tax code.
