The justices will review a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that said Trump could be barred from the Republican primary ballot in that state, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruling is likely to have national repercussions, potentially setting guidelines that would determine how every other state would handle the issue.
The brief order said the case would be argued on an accelerated schedule on Feb. 8, indicating that a ruling will follow soon after.
“There is also the possibility that if Trump is kicked off the ballot, Republicans could take retaliatory action by doing the same to President Joe Biden. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has already floated such a move.”
I wonder that excuse they’ll dream up to try to pull this off.
They’re not expecting to actually pull it off, it’s just posturing for their dumbfuck base.
Those far rights can’t care less about reasons.
That’s one of the reasons they love religion. All you gotta do is claim that the other side is EVIL. No logic, proof, or accountability necessary.
The one I’ve heard floated is not securing the border to their satisfaction somehow constitutes insurrection and since a lot of people have argued there doesn’t have to be any conviction or factual determination by a court it would stick just as well as the Jan 6th stuff against Trump.
That just means every member of congress is an insurrectionist because they have just as much or more power to change that.
It is not insurrection in either todays definition or the 14ths contemporary definition, and that would be slapped down.
A brand new congress? I could get behind that.
Ok? They aren’t trying to actually have it be upheld, they’re trying to highlight the farce in Colorado.
Is it a farce, though? Isn’t more like they want to make it a farce, just like how they are trying to make impeachment a farce?

Nobody wants Texassistan in the union, not even Texass. Heh.
The only thing I have heard is that anyone who supported the BLM movement during the rioting is essentially supporting anti american values thus insurrection. I have heard this from a few separate places.
Trump being disqualified from running in Colorado and Biden being disqualified from running in Texas are not equally important in the election.
