Judge clears way for Trump to appeal ruling keeping Fani Willis on Georgia 2020 election case

An attorney for Donald Trump says he’s optimistic an appellate review will lead to the Georgia 2020 election interference case against him being dismissed and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis being disqualified

The Washington Post
@indigo8s I guess he will try with armed #insurrection if he don't win, that is #blackmail and should already #disqualify him from office.
The Supreme Court granted Trump amnesty it has no power to give 

If Trump becomes president, the court will become infamous for abdicating its duty under the Constitution.

The Hill
To recap the decision: The 5 majority justices ruled not just that states can’t #disqualify #Trump#Colorado, in this case — but that the #insurrection clause of the #14thAmendment can’t be enforced against a #federal candidate w/o #Congress laying out a process. It raised the bar significantly for Trump or anyone else ever being disqualified, particularly given how gridlocked Congress is.

“‘That was then, this is now — & now it’s Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump,’ said Pamela Karlan, a Stanford #law prof & co-dir of the school’s #SCOTUS #Litigation Clinic.

“In Jan, the justices agreed to decide whether states can #disqualify #Trump from the #ballot for…the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. The court quickly held argument 5wks later, w/a majority… appearing poised to prevent CO from barring Trump from holding office. But they have not announced their decision.”

Cowardly #SCOTUS Justices Appear Skeptical of Arguments to Kick #Trump Off State Ballots

The #SupremeCourt heard arguments about whether TFG’s attempts to subvert the #2020election #disqualify him from again holding office. Justices across the ideological spectrum questioned several aspects of a ruling from the #Colorado Supreme Court.

There’s no #legal #question: The #USConstitution #disqualifies #Trump from the #presidency as a result of his insurrection against the constitution and laws of the United States.

The #SupremeCourt’s role is to #enforce the #Constitution, and it should do so in #TrumpVAnderson to #disqualify Donald Trump from running for #president.
