After four indictments, it is clear that the concerted effort to paint Donald Trump as a criminal has backfired, says Julian Zelizer .
Zelizer: Trump 's opponents have turned the 14th Amendment into an improvised legal weapon designed to bar the former president from reclaiming office after his actions in the weeks following the 2020 presidential election.
He says this legal effort can be seen as politics at its worst and as an endeavor to undermine elections and democracy.
Harry Hutchison : Some argue that Section Three of the 14th Amendment is self-executing and no trial is necessary because this select group has already found Donald Trump guilty as charged.
He says the dangerous refusal to allow American voters to have the last word on former President Trump ’s fitness for office suggests that the approach favored by legal and political elites is so contestable that it demands that we pretend that.
