to disqualify donald trump from the presidency in february of 2021 as did a majority of the united states houseincluding 10 republican members of the house. it's clear this is an open question. there's legitimacy to the question. it has to be resolved by the united states supreme court. they are the final arbiter of what the united states constitution means, and this 14th amendment still exist, might be inconvenient but it exists and has to have meaning. it doesn't say convicted, it says engaged. we've seen in it applied in other offices just in new mexico to someone who was not convicted of insurrection but criminal trespass against the capitol on january 6th. >> the special counsel jack smith has not invoked insurrection in his federal case against the former president. in terms of what happened in colorado, which was the first state to try to do this, remove trump from the primarily ballot n maine, chris christie is not on the primary ballot, in new hampshire, joe biden is not on the primary ballot. does any of this really matter i guess is the question? >> it might matter and we need this r
