"Supreme Court Expert Argues Trump is an Insurrectionist: The Ongoing Threat"

Jill Habig, president of the non-profit Public Rights Project, is arguing to the supreme court that Donald Trump should be disqualified from the 2024 presidential election under section 3 of the 14th amendment, which bars insurrectionists from holding public office. She contends that Trump's role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol qualifies as insurrection, citing historical evidence and the intent of the provision. Habig's work also focuses on protecting election officials, combating voter suppression, and advancing voting rights and free and fair elections. She sees a direct link between Trump's actions and threats to democracy, and emphasizes the interconnectedness of the fight for abortion rights and democracy.
