‘The threat isn’t over’: the expert arguing to the supreme court Trump is an insurrectionist

Jill Habig has filed an amicus brief saying the 14th amendment applies to Trump - and the brief gives the court's originalists a taste of their own medicine

When Jill Habig had an office down the hall from Kamala Harris in California, Barack Obama was US president, abortion was a constitutional right and January 6 was just another date on the calendar. A lot has happened since then.

On Thursday Habig, now president of the non-profit Public Rights Project (PRP), hopes her arguments will persuade the supreme court that Donald Trump is an insurrectionist who should be disqualified from the 2024 presidential election.
