    Dunno.

    Because they’re idiotic sycophants?

    The point is there’s mk qualification of what is “insurrection”, etc, no process for fact finding or determining the legitimacy of the accusations and really no way to keep people from voting for the orange turnip anyhow.

    We all “know” he incited an insurrection. We all know he’s ineligible. But this is an inconceivable and utterly novel legal territory here, people are going to have wonky takes.

      Is Gavin Newsom an idiotic sycophant? The article is about how he wants to keep Trump on the ballot.

      The point is there’s mk qualification of what is “insurrection”, etc, no process for fact finding or determining the legitimacy of the accusations

      Colorado begs to differ.

        Colorado came to a ruling after investigation; the courts heard the case and had a finding of fact.

        that’s the process at work. I haven’t a clue what game Newsom is playing at. but honestly, I couldn’t be arsed after what he wants. It doesn’t really concern him all that much, really.
