[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay so when the Supreme Court reverses this because it violates due process are progs going to riot? It will be reversed [/quote]

You don't know what you're talking about. The Supreme Court would have to upend a lot of due process law to accomplish that. Even if you regard the ability to seek office as a property or liberty right, usually all due process requires is notice, a meaningful opportunity to be heard, and a neutral decision-maker. He got all that in the five day trial where he was represented by counsel, presented evidence, and had his case decided by a member of the judiciary.

+1. Without getting into whether I agree, I expect this to get reversed, but it'll be on political question grounds, not due process.[/quote]
+1 I’m sure it will be reversed because enough of them will want to reverse it. Curious about how they justify getting there, though.[/quote]

They may, but everybody knows Trump is a criminal bad guy. They'll be compromising their historical legacies for a guy like that who will only be alive for a couple more years anyway. Alito and Thomas are compromised so their votes are already pocketed, but I'm not sure about the rest.[/quote] what crime has Trump been convicted of? If I described a black guy charged with a crime as a criminal before a conviction  you’d be throwing tantrums [/quote]

This is not a criminal case. They aren’t sending him to prison. The U.S. Constitution says he is not eligible for any federal office because he previously violated his oath of office by engaging in insurrection. [/quote]
