    If it’s Monday-Thursday, my bet is against Trump. If they wait until Friday, they are too scared of the repercussions and you know which way they will go.

      they are too scared of the reproductions

      I think you meant ‘repercussions’. I somehow doubt they’re afraid of people fucking in protest.

        Yeah. New android spell correction can go wonky sometimes on a half minded hot take. I need to pay more attention.

    I really hope they do the right thing and yet I have the awful feeling they won’t.

        This is the case about keeping him off the primary ballot.

        They pushed the “presidential immunity” case out to April.

      They won’t. The conservative majority are evil people, who are loyal to Trump. If Trump is in trouble, they’ll help him.

      Sadly, the ‘right thing’ in this case actually is to rule against Colorado. It will be an utter shit-show with each state deciding which candidates can or can’t run in their state if this is upheld.

        I kinda get what you mean, but this is a candidate who tried to overthrow the government. There’s legal and logical basis for excluding them from being a candidate.

          Oh, they should absolutely be excluded. I’m just saying it should be done at the federal level. You’d see Texas, Missouri, and a bunch of other states removing Biden if the ruling didn’t come down as it did.

        It’s based on a legal theory from the constitution. There’s no grey area on this one, just what brand of feelings people use to justify their position.

        There is actually good reason to keep someone off a ballot who attempts a coup, and tries to take power by undemocratic means. And it’s not really that hard to see where the reasoning comes in.

            When the constitution was written, the federal government didn’t have really any power.

            That’s why they gave this to states and not federal.

        Meh, elections are already a shit-show. The popular vote is disregarded, and the candidate with fewer votes can win…this is a undemocratic. Democracy is fundamentally broken already.

        Bullshit. Colorado already decides which candidates can or can’t run un their state. They did in 2012 when they disqualified a presidential candidate. The case went to court, and justice Gorsuch wrote the opinion that yes of course Colorado has that right.
