[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a trumper, but this ends badly for us citizens overall. Don’t care if Trump is the nominee or not, but you can’t just use courts to weaponize your opponents.

Had he been convicted of started an insurrection, I’d be onboard. But this is the worst way to do it. The ones who are ok with this are saying “hey I’m good with losing my rights and losing democracy to vote for who I want”. It has dangerous consequences.

Granted, Trump being elected is dangerous in itself. But at least the voters are making that decision. Not a handful of judges.

Be careful what you wish for…[/quote]

So you are saying that someone who tried to steal an election and foment a coup shouldn't be held accountable under the terms of the US Constitution?

May as well ball up the document and toss it in the can.[/quote]

You have trouble reading. So I’ll say it again.

If he’s convicted, yes, please take him off the ballot. Until then, there’s not much of a case here. You can’t take someone off based on feeling. This is the United States, we have due process. Innocent until proven guilty.

Again, I DESPISE Trump.[b] But going about it this way will not end well and only will not only have SCOTUS overturn this,[/b] but will also have people who are on the fence, will support Trump.

This isn’t difficult to understand. The people cheering for this will have a rude awakening. This isn’t the way to go about this. Convict him first, then do it this way. [/quote]

Despite having stacked the court, it is not a guarantee that SCOTUS will overturn this.  First they cited then-appellate court judge, Neil Gorsuch, who essentially said that it was within states rights to determine who was on their ballots.  His earlier ruling specifically said that this should be left up to the states to decide how to set their ballots and how to proceed with their elections.  Also in previous cases, this SCOTUS has reaffirmed states rights even insofar as to overturn RvW with Dobbs and send those decisions back to the states.  To flip-flop and decide that the states do not have the right to decide how to decide their elections and how to decide upon electors to attend the electoral college count would be completely counter to the philosophies with which they have been decidng since Roberts first took the Chief Justice position.

I think it is likely to be anywhere from 5-4 to 7-2 in favor of Colorado (Thomas and Alito do not care if they are considered hypocritical, they are bought and sold partisan jurists).[/quote]
