The Sweep and Force of Section Three 172 U. PA. L. REV. (forthcoming 2024) William Baude & Michael Stokes Paulsen

I was able to access the Tribe-Luttig article on my lap top. It is merely a summary of, and encomium to, Baude and Stokes, which is also available now here. My own unlearned commentary sweeping and forcing the argument to execution is briefly briefed below.

They couldn’t be more clear.

How can it be self-executing? Is he not on the ballot in the primaries? If he is, the states where he is didn’t disqualify him from appearing and campaigning. It is not self-executing. Something more has to be done to execute it.

They even use the example I gave to my (second) ex-.

“Somebody’s gotta do it.”

They can say all they want it’s crystal clear and “it’s self-executing” but it doesn’t do it itself and until somebody executes it it has no effect.

Oh so somebody did try it and it didn’t work!

They also tried it in Georgia and it didn’t work there either!

For a self-executing thing that thing don’t execute too good, do it?

“Further judicial review”!

They tried "further judicial review" in Greenie's case and that didn't work.

Are we done? We are. Get the fuck out of here Baude & Stokes. Trumpie will NOT be disqualified from having his name on the ballot through this unexecuting self-executing bullshit, nor assuming the office of president again should he win the election, which he will NOT, rendering all of these 126 pages moot.

So say we all.
