His argument there was so messed up but Kavanaugh didn't call him on it. He said Section 3 is implemented through the insurrection statute, so Trump would have to be convicted of insurrection, but then rushed back to provide the caveat that Trump cannot be prosecuted under the insurrection act because of presidential immunity!

Kavanaugh isn’t a great legal scholar.

He sounds significantly dumber than all the other Justices who have spoken so far.

Thomas says "hold my beer"

He has to go home to his seditious wife.

Which is why SCOTUS is no longer neutral or respectable.

Thomas is literally making the argument that states cannot enforce Section 3 because the former confederate states didn't themselves use it to disqualify confederates and instead the federal government was doing it!

They are going with the Section 3 isn't self-executing excuse.

Obviously they didn't run b/c they would be DQed. Stupid arguement.

Sounds like a way to let the Colorado decision stand, but leave it to other states to make their own decisions.

That’s ridiculous. Congress didn’t need to make a law banning two-term Presidents from running for a third term after the 22nd Amendment - why is this different?

The textual originalists will make up some bullshit reason to ignore the text and original intent.

Actually a bunch of them did run for congress and even won, but Congress refused to seat them. As the counsel pointed out, the states didn't run the ballot process back then like they do today, so there was no opportunity to keep them off the ballot under state law.

The Trump attorney's best argument is probably throwing Thomas the keys to a brand new BMW.

Thomas should recuse himself because his wife was part of the effort to overthrow our government.

It's great that every single argument is being brought up and addressed during this oral argument. Sometimes that happens but oftentimes the oral argument is just directed to one little thing that doesn't turn out to be dispositive.

The Supremes are going to have a hard time going with anything other than Section 3 disqualifies Trump. All of their wiggle room is nonsense.
