I think the most likely thing is that nothing happens because Trump is fundamentally a coward. But maybe in this very specific situation where the Court goes along with getting rid of him but few senate Rs do we end up using this caveat, I'll grant you that.
A world where the Court is willing to throw Trump under the bus is also one where there's enough support from Republicans in Congress to do so.
Now maybe if Trump orders an attrocity and the military balks, the Court caves and recognizes keeping Trump in office is not feasible.
If we're in a world where there is popular legitimacy for ignoring the supreme court and existing law, we're way past legitimating ourselves that way, imo. Anyway, I'm pretty confident that the military is going to listen to the Supreme Court.
OK sure but then the 14A, or for that matter what Congress votes, is irrelevant.
"The terms of the Amendment speak only to enforcement by Congress, which enjoys power to enforce the Amendment *through legislation* pursuant to Section 5."
I don't know where you're getting that--definitely is not in Trump v. Anderson. It talks about Congress enforcing 14AS3 through "appropriate legislation."
But then they don't have the votes to do you 14A idea either--SCOTUS said Congress could set rules through legislation, but Trump would veto any such legislation.
Why invoke all those complicated novel questions of law when you can just impeach and remove?
Overall social media use is also declining.
Between 2020 and 2024, more Americans — especially the youngest (18–24) and oldest (65+) — report using no social media at all.
A small group of heavy users remains, but the middle is thinning out.

Every system that was regulated, either explicitly or implicitly, by the fact that they were effortful for humans (letters of recommendation, government filings, essays, or, as this paper finds, lawsuits) will break under a wave of AI.
The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
He's trying again this year so we'll see if it works even in the best possible environment.
Similarly this was basically the Charles Booker thesis in KY and unlike Swearingen he had a real, reasonably well-funded campaign that was supposed to be the opposite of the centrist consultant-driven McGrath campaign and he got... almost exactly the same percentage.

Dean was undone before he screamed--he gave that speech after he unexpectedly lost Iowa.
The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.
When I started at a biglaw firm many years ago the firm's general counsel gave a little speech that has stuck with me to the effect of "everyone is going to make some mistake, but the most critical thing is that you are honest about it as soon as you know what happened." True for firms too.

I might revers the first two percentages but otherwise this is extremely accurate.

The SPLC has long monitored and exposed white nationalist and Christian nationalist hate groups, so it makes sense that an administration staffed by many people sympathetic to one or both of those movements would use the DOJ to go after them.
