Thanks, Professor. I was going to ask you if there was a similar article on the #14thAmendmentSectionThree but written post Trump v. Anderson, but have already found one - also by Baude & Paulsen - written post Anderson and forthcoming in the Harvard Law Review. "Sweeping Section Three under the Rug: A Comment on Trump v. Anderson" is available here:

A boost from you would be helpful if you think it appropriate.
As I noted originally, there *is* a growing body of legal opinion that views the now #PresidentElect to be Constitutionally #disqualified from holding office. As might be expected, this body of opinion is now being added to: some of the opinion is as current as today where, in a YouTube discussion with Brian Tyler Cohen, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner re-states his view that #Trump has been adjudicated as an insurrectionist by: i) the state of Colorado; ii) #Congress (in the second #impeachment trial); iii) the #Jan6 Committee (1). #Insurrection – & not treason – is the relevant yardstick for #14thAmendmentSectionThree
Cohen & Kirschner also discuss a Dec 26 article by Evan A. Davis & David M. Schulte (“Congress has the Power to Stop Trump from Taking Office…”) where legal scholars Davis & Schulte argue that despite the implications of Trump v. Anderson (the Colorado case in #SCOTUS), Trump is still disqualified due to legal precedent & his Electoral College votes may be objected to in Congress on that basis under the Electoral Count Act (2).
I further note that there are other mechanisms available for Congress to ‘trigger’ disqualification (or to “remove such disability”) under #AmendmentXIV (see Kaitlyn Bird, “King Trump is not Inevitable” (3), Jessica Denson’s YouTube channel (4) & bibliography of legal opinion (5)): mechanisms that also fall within SCOTUS’ determination in Trump v. Anderson.
I’m not a US citizen but I care about the country (to the point that I wrote a book about it) & this is my reading of the up-to-date (as of today) legal thinking on the left. I still think that you have an ‘out’: but that this ‘out’ is going to expire on #InaugurationDay After that, all bets are off.

Yes, I am a pirate
two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder
there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
Blew out my flip-flop
@ClintEssential loved listening to his music. #RIPJimmy
I feel like a member of my family died or a part of me died. I'm very sad. #RIPJimmy
