The Supreme Court will decide if Donald Trump can be kept off 2024 presidential ballots

[Subduction Zone]

Then the red states can use that power as well.
Be careful what you wish for.

Until recently the USSC has not been abusing its power and hopefully it will go back to that mode once the MAGA influence dies away.

When being woke is more important than being factual, nothing is ever simple--by design.

Woke? You mean alert to injustice and discrimination in society? Like the teachings of Jesus?

 

[Laniakea]

Please note that I am only limiting this to the USSC. What the judges do not seem to like is that they seem to think that one state can affect the ballots of others. I do not see how that is the case. Unfortunately the present USSC will be a black mark on the history of jurisprudence in the US for some years to come. I do not have a lot of hope in this matter. If I was a praying man I might try that, but talking to myself is in reality not helpful.

If any one state were allowed to do it, or even one single person in a state (such is the case in Maine), then any state in the country could do the same, and then it wouldn't just be one state doing it.
Would you want a single member of a government deciding for an entire state whether or not the people of that state can vote for a candidate, especially when that candidate is the one you wish to vote for?

It's power is to decide the constitutionality of a judgement. It's good that most of the members aren't being woke.

So you claim to be woke, eh.

I don't wish for it.
And I recognize risks.
But SCOTUS & Congress pose risks too.

Leaving it to the states is at least more decentralized.

I admire the thousand Christians you've met and believe you're so much better than.

I see them being concerned with
possibly affecting the election.

I expect SCOTUS to rule based
on most justices being Magas.

Keeping elections fair is what will happen. Don't need liberal activists in government deciding that the citizens of their state isn't allowed to vote for a conservative.

And I'm hoping they'll vote to make America great again too.

I prefer a system that can prevent
insurrectionists who staged a failed
coup from ever holding office again.

A problem with letting SCOTUS decide
is that any justice nominated by the Prez
so accused should recuse themselves.
I don't think that will happen.

Well... thanx for the non sequitur. ?

That system is already in place, and is working quite well.

Not yet.

So all that 14th Amendment stuff you guys keep harping on doesn't mean what you thought it did?

That's the wrong inference.

Then I guess it won't be heard of again after SCOTUS puts things right.

Much like "socialism", "woke" has been reduced to a lazy slur used by conservatives to simply refer to anything they either don't like or understand; from empathy and equality, to electric vehicles and plant-based meat alternatives.

Equality is now equity, remember. Equality is so 2010.
Electric vehicles are showing their weakness when reliability is needed most.
Plant based meat isn't meat. Just another fake version of something real. Just like so much other liberal crap.

Sure, but what makes it "woke"? What is "woke"? Conservatives can never offer a consistent, coherent definition. Why are EVs and fake meat so triggering? Don't like it then don't buy it, but why get so emotional?
