The Volokh Conspiracy: I was a passionate Dodgers fan in the '50s and '60s .

The Yankees were the implacable foe, having beaten the Dodgers in the World Series in six of their seven meetings.

He says he was devastated when the Dodgers abandoned Brooklyn after the 1957 season .

The one time I'm rooting for them, they stink, having apparently forgotten how to hit.

Or do they view all that as not being of sufficient moment to disqualify someone from getting their vote for President—perhaps formally, via Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, or just as a matter of common sense and a sense of duty to their fellow-citizens? Like I said, I don't understand it. I'm hopeful that one of my readers can explain to me which of those possibilities is closer to the truth of the matter, and why, in either case, we shouldn't be terrified about that..
