They have a clusterfuck of useful idiots that they pay like a dime a dozen for vs. their insane fortunes?

Fortunes that make them insane, I get it, I too would be bored once I realized $ aint everything and even all the sexual stuff would get dull after a while, and when we see them (Mark Z as example) how out of place and wiped out/numb does that guy always seem?

Billionaire class of sickos! Brainfodder Feb 2024 #1

I am not sure that is correct. Caliman73 Feb 2024 #2

There were plenty of judges that charged the insurrectionists Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #4

True. Caliman73 Feb 2024 #11

It does not say trump has to be charged or convicted of insurrection. Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #12

It actually does FBaggins Feb 2024 #27

Well...then do the other required qualifications Farmer-Rick Feb 2024 #35

Totally specious reasoning. NoRethugFriends Feb 2024 #7

No they are not. SCOTUS isn't making the decision... Caliman73 Feb 2024 #13

You get it. Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #9

Am curious whether there will be inconsistencies addressing the border issue. limbicnuminousity Feb 2024 #14

That has been a problem historically. Caliman73 Feb 2024 #17

Your assessment is astute. limbicnuminousity Feb 2024 #44

Border issues are complex. LeftInTX Feb 2024 #49

The orginal insurrectionists did not face court trials. GreenWave Feb 2024 #21

Original as in Civil War original? Caliman73 Feb 2024 #23

Agreed and I did mean the Civil war traitors. GreenWave Feb 2024 #37

Except they weren't barred from *running* for the office FBaggins Feb 2024 #46

Or it could be used to keep anybody they feel like jimfields33 Feb 2024 #3

You need proof of an insurrection, we have almost 24 hrs of documentation he created one. Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #5

No it couldn't NoRethugFriends Feb 2024 #6

The SC found nothing wrong with the Colorado decision? FBaggins Feb 2024 #47

In Colorado, there was a trial and appeal HariSeldon Feb 2024 #24

Their ruling, likely unanimous, will be more nuanced Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #8

Well the textualists will be legislating from the bench again. Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #10

It seems like SCOTUS's lame excuse is that they don't want some states using the 14th Amendment, sec. 3, to LaMouffette Feb 2024 #15

SCOTUS decisions are made when cases are brought to them. Caliman73 Feb 2024 #19

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Caliman73! I feel at this point that every American is an injured party from the LaMouffette Feb 2024 #50

Tell all the states that Trump carried out an insurrection and can't be on ANY ballots??? Polybius Feb 2024 #30

Federal and State judges convicted or kicked off people on ballots for insurrection Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #36

In Trump's Colorado case, it was the state SC upholding it Polybius Feb 2024 #42

Overly dramatic, IMHO RussBLib Feb 2024 #16

It's not about our ability to beat him at the ballot box Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #18

If they were a convicted traitor, no RussBLib Feb 2024 #20

Impeachment is removal from office, he is not in office. Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #38

The SC is bought and paid for. rubbersole Feb 2024 #22

I hope you are right. Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #39

I put this squarely on McConnell relayerbob Feb 2024 #25

If the SCOTUS votes to keep TFG on the ballot... William Seger Feb 2024 #26

My (barely informed) opinion is they will keep him on the ballot and not by a 6-3 decision. Perhaps kelly1mm Feb 2024 #28

Or maybe they are right if it's 9-0 Polybius Feb 2024 #29

IMO it was pretty obvious from their questions that they were looking for a way... brush Feb 2024 #31

Yes, if they rule to keep him on, it's another nail in the coffin of our Democracy. Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #40

I am curious how the liberal Justices vote on this. William769 Feb 2024 #32

I listened to the entire hearing. It sounds like Trump will be on the ballot. Vote. Joinfortmill Feb 2024 #33

Every vote, every election is the vote of a lifetime. Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #41

Not if, it is when they do. Bev54 Feb 2024 #34

Wondering if all this could have been avoided if Garland Emile Feb 2024 #43

No need to wonder, he didn't and now were here. Bluethroughu Feb 2024 #45

Considering political concerns... Think. Again. Feb 2024 #51

Yes FBaggins Feb 2024 #48

I agree but politically it's bad ebbie15644 Feb 2024 #52
