Editor’s Note: Bad Takes is a column of opinion and analysis. Without much fanfare, save for a briefly trending Twitter hashtag, the Jan. 6 Committee met for the final time on Dec. 19 to recommend that the Justice Department charge former President Donald Trump with obstructing the certification of votes, conspiring to concoct a false slate of electors and providing aid and comfort to the insurrectionary riot at the Capitol two years ago. That last criminal offense would bar Trump, under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, from ever again seeking any public office in the United States.
