The act of denying Trump the opportunity of freedom based upon the 14th amendment which reads
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office

You are spot on with that. I’m not a lawyer but have been involved in a few legal situations at work. Sitting in meetings the discussion has often been about the process....and the legality of various approaches and what angles would get us into trouble if they were pursued and which would not.
These people are operating as if none of that exists....as if the legal process allows them complete protection and immunity to make any accusation they want with zero consequences.
I’m oft reminded of the first codified legal system.....the 10 Commandments. While half of these provided a cursory code of how people relate to each other there is no further differentiation of one ‘part of the code’ having more weight than another.....thus while there are commandments addressing stealing and murder there is also an equal one dealing with the ‘bearing of false witness’. People ignore this at their peril....
