Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears to pull more support from former President Trump than President Biden in a hypothetical general election matchup, according to a new…
Not being sarcastic, but also don’t follow every Supreme Court case: what do you view as the encouragingly solid decisions? I did see one civil rights-related case that seemed to go positively a few weeks back.
The Supreme Court cannot issue a constitutional amendment, only the States or Congress can do that. It’s going to be extremely difficult to claim the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to Trump based on the language and the fact that Confederates were barred from office without being convicted. The Supreme Court would be in breach of power to ignore what the Consitution says.
The supreme court already rewrote the college loan law. I think they know they can’t be held accountable and have little respect for the laws or constution beyond those that align with their ideology
It would be pretty hypocritical given that a third of SCOTUS believes in the independent state legislature theory which pretty much lets states legislatures do whatever they want with regards to federal elections. But, that’s probably not going to stop them siding with Trump.
And they will say that regardless of the Civil War precedents say, a court needs to determine whether he participated in the insurrection via a conviction.

Oh no, breach of power! Good thing we can sue them right? …right?
Yeah…I’ll see you in cour…wait a minute.

A law is different than a Consitutional Amendment. They can’t rewrite it and it’s obvious what the Amendment was put in place for.

Oh dear, I’m sure they are absolutely terrified of looking hypocritical
