    Lots of people run afoul of 14A S3, and I would expect that once any of these challenges on its basis succeeds, the moves will begin swiftly to address Trump and others in many states.

      Yeah, it’s a habit I’m trying to break. People keep telling me that I have to watch out for 14A S3, but I just can’t help occasionally committing a little light treason. 14AS3 is a constant topic around our dinner table, discussed only less than the merits of 26 U.S. Code § 36B of the US tax code.
