Retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig issued a searing rebuke of the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision that Colorado could not disqualify former President Trump from the ballot under the 14…
You don’t though, because the case will still rise to the Supreme Court and be shot down for being bullshit. If they get on board with disqualifying candidates for trumped up charges, then we have a constitutional crisis, but just because one state court’s opinion is validated doesn’t mean other courts just get the ability to disqualify at will.
If disqualifying candidates based on false pretences is a “constitutional crisis”, why isn’t THIS inverse — restoring an insurrectionist to the ballot — a “constitutional crisis”?
At this point “constitutional crisis” just sounds like another fantasy guard rail “check” or “balance” that people view as a turning point or line in the sand, but in reality everyone will just accept the fascist takeover and act like things aren’t bad enough to do anything about it yet…
I swear, if they shit all over our freedoms 13 or 14 more times, they’re gonna regret the numerous times they shat all over us and we did nothing!
Because someone somewhere would have to make insurrection charges stick. They’ve completely failed at that. This whole thing is political theatre like you read about 70s USSR. Idk is gonna win but it’s a knives out battle like Kruschkev n Gorbachev won.
Al lot of charges have “stuck” hence why Trumple has offered to pardon everyone when he wins.
You don’t need to go to another country for an example when you can just look at the US. McCarthyism is the political theatre you are talking about. The Red Scare and ruining countless peoples lives over made up bullshit.
This ain’t made up. The sexual assaulter did not concede willingly and fomented an insurrection however dumb or ineffective it was.
