The Supreme Court seems poised to reject efforts to kick Trump off the ballot over the Capitol riot
In the justices’ biggest election case since Bush v. Gore, the court will be weighing arguments over whether Trump is disqualified from reclaiming the White House.
Surprise!!
You're viewing a single thread.
So that would mean insurrection would be legal in America. If Biden loses to Trump, I will feel empowered to riot in the same way. Time to get a gun I guess.
Anything resembling a more left leaning insurrection will get a very different response than the last one. You will be murdered by the state on the spot. The feds bombed a civilian neighborhood in the 80s for less than that.

They didn't bomb a neighborhood...
They flattened an entire block.
This is why we take the "peaceful protest" straight to the supreme Court where the real seat of conservative political power lies.

Better get on it or you will be out of time.
I think it's the judges who should be worried about "running out of time"
I mean, BLM had the space in front of the Supreme Court pretty much blocked off when they decided to march on it. When the patriot prayer event happened, that was 10k plus people descending on the Supreme Court.
I simply do not see that happening.
Let me spell it out for you - January 6th the supreme Court but actually get it done.
Rules for thee
Questions of Legality aren't being heard here. This is only about eligibility for being on a presidential ballot and the ability of an individual state to determine eligibility and remove the candidate from the ballot.
No. The questions posed by the Supreme Court centered around whether there was merit in allowing any single state, which may have arbitrary criteria and or processes, to effectively eliminate a candidate from the ballot, and if so, under what constraints. Ours a valid question. Where is the line? If you allow this precedent, how might it be abused by others?
States rights only matter when it oppresses women, not when it's constitutionally legal and valid!
It's not allowing a single court to decide, the Supreme Court of the land is be reviewing that decision right now. They're not just going to do that on their own. It has to start somewhere.
It may mean that someone found guilty of insurrection may not be voted by state electors to be president.
You're now on a list.
