Dear Editor,
Let’s talk about the “insurrection clause” of the Constitution. Lawyers and judges can argue “the letter of the law” until blue in the face as to whether this provision disqualifies Donald Trump from holding office again. But how about “the spirit of the law”?
The spirit of the law looks at what the law is really trying to get at. Do you think our highly moral Founding Fathers would qualify Donald Trump for a second term of office even if they had no idea about the outcome of his four criminal trials? In other words, if they only knew what we know today?
Various newspaper watchdogs and fact checkers catalogued over 30,000 distortions, exaggerations, half-truths, and outright lies over the course of his four-year administration. Does Mr. Trump meet even the minimum standard expected for the lowest position of political leadership in America, let alone the highest?
You tell me.
