欧美极品 — Last August, University of Chicago Law School constitutional law professor  helped ignite a national debate by co-authoring a law review article, , which argued that former President Trump was barred by Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment from holding office again. As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on Feb. 8 in the Colorado case banning Trump from the primary ballot, Baude offers his only extended interview on the subject in a timely new episode of UChicago’s Big Brains podcast.

The  of the Baude interview are now live at the UChicago 欧美极品 website. The questions covered include: 

  • What are the possible outcomes of the Supreme Court case?
  • Could a “catastrophic” scenario leave the eligibility question outcome uncertain until Jan. 6, 2025?
  • What convinced Baude, a conservative legal scholar and member of the Federalist Society, that the 14th Amendment bars Trump from taking office?

If the Supreme Court ends up having to step in again in January 2025, “it could be quite a crisis.”
