"Others cannot be trusted to serve on a jury, to vote or count ballots in a presidential election, or to oversee a criminal case involving Trump himself. …

Had Trump recognized in 2020 that all Americans are equally capable of carrying out their civic duties, he would not be on trial in 2023 for allegedly conspiring to deny them their constitutional rights."
