From the start of the justices’ private discussions of the case, #TrumpvAnderson, it was clear that the court was going to say no…. Allowing states to excise candidates from ballots in a national #election was out of the question, the justices agreed. With sparse & cryptic text in the amendment, & little case #law, to guide them, they raised various ideas for the court’s ruling & rationale.

For my American friends who are cheering up #SOCUS on abandoning your #Constitution in #TrumpvAnderson this is what you are cheering up to https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-strongman-fantasy.
“[…] to the end it may be a government of laws and not
of men.” Those were the days …
When your Supreme Court gave up on your Constitution, there is not much more to discuss. It was a nice experiment to have a republic while it lasted.
On first blush, #trumpVanderson decision by #SCOTUS is rather more obviously #partisan and #corrupt than the #DredScottDecision.
It exactly displays the logical and moral #bankruptcy of the #RobertsCourt. Three members of the majority were appointed by the appellant, and a fourth has more #COI than Niigata. #Recusal? Perish the thought!
The "unanimous"—but unsigned—decision was originally based on a dissension. Every jurist has compromised their record.
So, do i have this straight? The #SupremeCourt doesn't dispute that trump is an antidemocratic insurrectionist, but they dispute the exact mechanism to disqualify him from the presidency, in the interests of democracy.
Ballot Disqualification: Another SCOTUS Credibility Hit.
