"Rep. Raskin Insists Justice Thomas Recuse from Trump Election Cases, Cites 14th Amendment Concerns"
Rep. Jamie Raskin defended the use of the 14th Amendment to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the ballot in Colorado and Maine, arguing that it is a democratic measure as it applies to those who choose to disqualify themselves by engaging in insurrection. Raskin highlighted that the Constitution contains various disqualifications for presidency, such as age and natural-born citizenship, and that Trump falls into the category of individuals who have disqualified themselves due to their actions on January 6. The issue has sparked controversy and is expected to be addressed by the Supreme Court.
