A former conservative federal appellate judge is urging the Supreme Court to keep Donald Trump off the ballot, arguing the ex-president’s effort to cling to power after his 2020 election loss was “broader” than South Carolina’s secession from the US that triggered the Civil War.
It seems like the Supreme Court is leaning toward allowing Trump to remain on the ballot in Colorado and elsewhere. Why? Because section 3 of the 14 amendment is a federal law. That means states can’t override it.
That, unfortunately, makes sense and could lead to the destruction of our democracy.
Fuck Trump and his sycophants.
