Text from article: The Supreme Court declined to apply the letter of the law to disqualify Trump under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. But Harris is making the persuasive case that voters should not consider him to be a legitimate candidate. How can a convict who tries to tear down the legal system assume the presidency, which requires an oath to enforce the laws? It boggles the mind. The Biden-Harris campaign seems to have figured it out: Someone with contempt for the legal system, a mission to tear it down and to employ it without any legal basis against his enemies threatens the core of American democracy. And if there were any doubt about Trump’s nefarious schemes, he now routinely threatens to prosecute his opponents. Former Trump attorney Ty Cobb and a fleet of legal scholars and former prosecutors have warned that his rhetoric erodes support for the legal system and risks inciting violence.
