🧵 For those who have been as interested as I am in the discussion about Congress using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against Trump, this is a thread of scholarly commentary on the subject. Please feel free to add additional links.

Historian Eric Foner was among the first to suggest using it and he later wrote up his argument in the WaPo here: https://t.co/9YPUuAmlaA
Two legal scholars, Gerald Magliocca and Bruce Ackerman also argued that using section 3 may be more effective than impeachment: https://t.co/8RO9zqOfum
In the @nytimes, @brianbeutler and @deepakguptalaw say it section 3 should be used as a compliment to impeachment. https://t.co/gLZBAzHaF0
Political scientist and professor of law Mark Graber makes the case that section 3 can be invoked by legislation passed after Trump leaves office, which would also "retroactively void any action taken by President Trump after January 6, 2021." https://t.co/PNaVlpOV6v
Law professor Noah Feldman argues that a court could determine Trump violated section 3 were he to attempt another presidential bid in 2024: https://t.co/jWXptYpg4O
Several folks have argued against using section 3. Political scientist @kewhittington argues impeachment is the correct remedy and "If Section Three is to be applied, then it should follow a criminal conviction for engaging in an insurrection" https://t.co/8X0Voxjq3B
Law professor David Hemel argues "A better approach would be for Congress to enact a modern-day analogue to the First Ku Klux Klan Act reestablishing a judicial procedure to disqualify insurrectionists," though that can work alongside impeachment. https://t.co/vuJ2WMS913
In an argument against creatively using the Constitution, Historian @DavidHeadPhd argues that "Removing a president from office is novel enough" and "Congress should embrace its experience with impeachment and devote its energy to that path alone." https://t.co/DF7tt2wHGt

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
