Former Attorney General Bill Barr, a frequent critic of his onetime boss, Donald Trump, wrote Tuesday he opposes the myriad "unconstitutional" state efforts to keep the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination off their ballots, calling them "foolish" and "destructive."

In a guest column for the media outlet The Free Press, Barr made clear that he is "firmly opposed" to Trump's candidacy, but not this way — blue states using the insurrectionist clause of the 14th Amendment to keep Trump off their primary ballots.

"But I also believe that the efforts to knock him off the ballot are legally untenable, politically counterproductive, and, most ominously, destructive of our political order," Barr wrote. "The Supreme Court needs to act swiftly to strike down these foolish decisions."
