Haley wouldn't win either.

Correct. 68% of voters can’t get past the abortion issue.

Isn't it horrifying how one man can wreck all of our institutions because...of his strong personality?

It's pitiful. The Supreme Court is pititful.


No one has been charged let alone convicted of insurrection.


So?

Here is the text of the Fourteenth Amendment (it doesn't say anything about being charged or convicted):

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.


So what you are saying is I can just say Joe Biden is an insurrectionist? Or do will have some other steps.
It goes like this: Texas declares Biden an insurrectionist for providing aid and comfort to migrants coming across the boarder who are terrorists and he's off the Texas ballot. Add NM and AZ. Now it's almost mathmatically impossible for him to win since he'll lose all those votes.

Because unlike Republicans, most Democrats actually care more about the country than the party. We recognize that Trump is uniquely horrible for the country and letting him get away with insurrection and treason would be historically bad decisions, even if that means a different Republican becomes President.


DP. It was a Republican who brought this suit. Not sure why you think your smugness is a good look.

That’s where state law comes in. In some states filing to be on the ballot requires the candidates to swear that they are eligible for the office. And if a registered voter presents evidence that a candidate is not eligible, election officials must investigate and make a determination whether to place them on the ballot.

Because he is disqualified. On the ballot or off, he cannot be president. So might as well put a qualified candidate on the ballot, right?


What ballot?
You're the ballot.
It was a beautiful process,
So beautiful.

I had immunity,
Complete and total immunization.
And now they're trying to destroy owah country,
They're trying to destroy it.

No Justice said there was no insurrection. They dodged that question entirely. The Court position seems the be that it was rude of Colorado to ask the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution.

Uh, they agreed it was an insurrection. They're just trying to sidestep the other half of the issue.

It absolutely was an insurrection. This SCOTUS is getting farther and farther off the rails with every comment and decision to come out of it.

The woman who brought the lawsuit in Colorado was a lifelong Republican.

But I understand the MAGA cult doesn’t deal in facts.


PP didn’t claim otherwise. She is asking a question for Democrats.

And everyone understands the political orientation of the judges who decided this case in Colorado.


It's not Democrats. It's Republicans who want him off the ballot.

Originally predicted 9-0 in favor of Trump, now thinking 8-1.
