Experts say SCOTUS must decide the Trump insurrection issue after Maine became the second state to remove him from the ballot.
The U.S. Supreme Court must intervene in the debate over whether former President Donald Trump rebelled against the United States, a former federal prosecutor said.
“This is a matter of immense constitutional importance raising novel legal questions with completely inconsistent rulings across the country,” Rahmani said. “The Supreme Court has discretion as always, but it has to step in and answer these questions once and for all.”
Rahmani said that the Supreme Court must end confusion over Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was introduced after the Civil War to stop those who had engaged in insurrection against the United States from ever taking federal office.
“Everyone knows what the 14th Amendment says, but nobody has been able to definitely rule how it is enforced and who enforces it,” he said.
