You’re quoting the people who literally wrote the plan on how to usurp democracy and install Trump as a dictator, and holding them up as some kind of reliable expert on what the constitution says.

the people who literally wrote the plan

That's my point. These are the guys who wrote the plan to end birthright citizenship and "read the 14th amendment" doesn't go very far against them because they have. Neither does "the meaning of the 14th amendment is obvious" because they're constitutional lawyers and they're saying it isn't. They may still very well be wrong, but they aren't "ha ha, you haven't even heard of the constitution" wrong.
