US historians sign brief to support Colorado’s removal of Trump from ballot
Twenty-five civil war and Reconstruction scholars support invoking 14th amendment to bar Trump from ballot over January 6

“For historians,” the group wrote, “contemporary evidence from the decision-makers who sponsored, backed, and voted for the 14th amendment [ratified in 1868] is most probative. Analysis of this evidence demonstrates that decision-makers crafted section three to cover the president and to create an enduring check on insurrection, requiring no additional action from Congress.
Going to be VERY hard for Thomas, Alito, and the other "textualists" to argue against the clear intent of the framers of the 14th. They'll try, but will have to twist themselves into pretzels - just as they did with Roe.
