Ed Whelan on the Trump Disqualification Cases

On Wednesday, February 21, the Orange County Federalist Society is pleased to host Ed Whelan to discuss the lawsuits seeking to disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot. 

On Jan. 5, the Supreme Court agreed to review the Colorado Supreme Court's historic Dec. 19 decision ruling that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of the presidency and, therefore, that his name may not appear on the state’s primary ballot. Debate is ongoing whether Section 3 of the 14th Amendment would disqualify former President Donald Trump from running in the 2024 presidential election. Issues include whether Section 3 applies to a former president, whether it is self-executing, and whether Jan. 6 could be considered an insurrection or rebellion.
