Um…you may disagree (and I disagree with him often) but Tribe literally wrote the book on the US Constitution. He knows what it says and can be construed to allow on its face. We don’t have to accept it any more than other provisions of the Constitution but that doesn’t mean he should be dismissed.
okay, and he’s wrong here
I don’t disagree with your basic premise, I just learned in law school that law is whatever ppl in power say it is, particularly where the Constitution is concerned. I think the larger question is viability of relying on adherence “the rule of law” at this point - and what we do in light of that.
Tribe didn't say anything about how it could be "construed." He explicitly said Trump "isn't ineligible." He also has a history of promoting conspiracy theories for clicks. He isn't a reliable source of information.
It fails on the obvious and basic intent and context of the Amendment. It’s like murdering someone and then saying that it wasn’t you, it was the Pets.com handpuppet you were wearing who wielded the knife, so obviously you didn’t commit the crime.
