I am asking here because all the political subs don’t allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

Scholars don’t matter and it doesn’t mean shit if the courts won’t convict him
He doesn’t need a conviction. He’s already admitted being involved enough in Jan 6 to be disqualified. That’s my point - the Constitution says he’s out.
You can argue (likely correctly) that the 14th amendment will be ignored but that’s a different issue. Will we defend the constitution or ignore it?
It still doesn’t matter what the constitution says if the courts never convict him of the crimes that would disqualify him from running. He needs to serve time and be prevented from running, but I don’t think either will happen
Minor point, but did you actually read the article? The 2 constitutional scholars from the Federalist Society say that he is already disqualified - it’s not necessary to “convict him” as he has already been involved and complicit in the insurrection.
