The recent decisions to exclude Donald Trump from the ballot in Maine and Colorado are being justified under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

There’s no small irony in the fact that Section 1 of the same amendment expressly forbids the states from denying any citizen due process of or equal protection under the law.
