EXCERPT:

JARRETT: “This is election rigging, Kayleigh. It was a narrow 4-3 decision. It will almost certainly, in my judgment, be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court because the insurrection clause in the 14th Amendment, as you point out, doesn't apply to the facts here. It was intended to prevent Confederates, who literally took up arms against the government during the Civil War, from holding office. So you fast-forward now, 150 years roughly, and Donald Trump isn’t even accused of insurrection under the federal statute. And if evidence supported that, surely Jack Smith, the special counsel, would have charged him with it. So to remove Trump from the ballot for an offense that he hasn’t even been tried or convicted of, what is that? Well, that’s violating his right to due process, which just happens to be guaranteed by the very amendment, the 14th, and elsewhere in the Constitution. But, you know, there’s another factor here, Kayleigh, you know this as a lawyer- Under past Supreme Court rulings, the language used in the insurrection clause doesn’t apply to the office of president or anybody running for it. Colorado officials here have I think brazenly manipulated the clause for purely political reasons. Another example of election interference by Trump opponents.”
