By using the 14th Amendment, didn’t they make this subject to the jurisdiction of the SCOTUS?

That was my thought when I read the headline. Though they also charged him under state law so perhaps it will still stand. But there is a slippery slope as to what constitutes “conduct unfit for office”. A misdemeanor conviction for political activity? I am sure there are plenty of people holding bureaucratic positions who have done much worse. This seems like an abuse of discretion by the state.

Not to mention a violation of basic due process and civil rights.
