[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]

My guess is some bullshit spin on ripeness or standing that they conjure up which will invalidate the decision without grappling with the merits.

Or, conceivably, SCOTUS might just decline to hear it at all. That would surprise me a little, but I can see where only Thomas and Alito might be in love with the guy; and Roberts, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett don't want the Supreme Court to die along with everything else Trump touches.
