In a recent Supreme Court decision, the justices declined to rule on whether the 14th Amendment could disqualify individuals, including former President Donald Trump, who engaged in insurrection from holding federal or state office. The court stated that it was Congress's responsibility to enforce this provision of the Constitution.
Congressman Raskin, a member of the January 6th Select Committee, expressed disagreement with the court's decision, emphasizing that the 14th Amendment's Section 3 should be self-executing like other parts of the amendment. He highlighted the House's previous impeachment of Trump for inciting insurrection as evidence of Congress's stance on the matter.
