Jim Schultz: I Believe SCOTUS Will Agree that 14th Amendment, Section 3 Doesn’t Apply to Trump

EXCERPT:

SCHULTZ: “I think it’s interesting to note, at least in the Maine case, that the secretary of state, one, is not a lawyer; two, does have the authority to make these determinations, yet they have to make them, those determinations, in accordance with federal law. So, the Maine — the secretary of state of Maine is appointed by the legislative — elected by the legislative body, not by the people of Maine, by the legislative body, meaning the legislative body that is majority democratic. That decision was made, she had the authority to make that decision, now it moves on to the Maine Supreme Court where the Maine Supreme Court will interpret the federal constitution and that will then make its way to the United States Supreme Court. At that time the teams will make the arguments at that time that the 14th Amendment does not apply to the president of the United States, that there are a number of specific officials that are named in that section, one of them does not include the president of the United States. I think that’s going to be the basis upon which they make this appeal, and I do believe that the United States Supreme Court is going to agree with the Trump team on this one at least."
