(7,156 posts)Trump tried to thwart the 2021 inauguration as did @ 150 Magats in Congress. So the solution offered above is since they did not respect the vote, just vote.
Had SCROTUS asked questions about the Insurrection that was just a few hundred feet from their noses, based on intellectual curiosity, to see if they were next after Pence...
Got year wrong. Oops.

(5,033 posts)Just that they can't unilaterally do that. Which is good because the GOP would have excluded a SHIT TON of people from the ballot if so.

(26,937 posts)That's pretty ridiculous. The court does not make those kinds of rulings. So commenting that they failed to is of no import.
Bookbinder knows better.
The three liberals on the court had the opportunity to say that Trump is an insurrectionist - and they chose not to do so. Should we read anything into that?

(7,850 posts)PROCEDURAL TECHNICALITIES in order to save his candidacy. This is something dems, pundits, journalists should be talking about extensively. Several lower courts and even Mitch McConnell have said he is responsible for inciting insurrection. Plenty of quotes and stories available to keep this outrageous TFG behavior and ongoing legal determinations alive.
This case may be over legally for the time being but it shouldn't be over politically by a long shot. This story is ongoing.
