      One judge “finds” he did it. What a lovely country we would have if that’s all it took. No defense, no evidence needed. Just a judges opinion.

      Short slope to a work camp. Maybe we could sort of concentrate all the people we disagree with in one.

        All fair points that still ignore the guy who tried to overthrow the country where absolutely nothing was done about him, to hold him accountable.

        If the feds are saying only they can protect the country from all enemies orange and domestic, there’s about 80 million active voters who might, uh, decidedly disagree. As opposed to some other adverb.

          Point is that if the three blue states disqualify without a federal ruling and that stands, then you can bet a bunch of red states will declare Biden disqualified because he stole the election or some crap.

          The place to direct frustration is the federal government for failing to make the requisite determination. Not at the unanimous supreme court decision that prevents chaotic behavior by the states with respect to federal races. There should be consistency state to state as to whether a candidate is fundamentally qualified or not.

          If O’l Joe has 80 million voters, why are you worried about Trump being on the ballot? He can’t possibly win.
