The Law and the US Constitution

All Laws have been implemented by means of legislation of Federal, State, County or Municipal actions. What set's the laws into proper enforcement is the Executive and Judical elements of our government.

What binds the three tier system and the lower government bodies is the US Constitution granting then to exist.

That same US Constitution that grants government bodies to exist, also grants the US Supreme Court to exist.

If the Supreme Court Judiciary goes against the US Constitution, then the US Constitution is weak. All US Supreme Court Judges that are allowed to vote against the law of the land, but for their belief of choice of politics, shall be impeached for failing to uphold their Oath of Office.

Thus, I believe trump will succumb to the Laws of the Land and evidently be removed from the ballot and lose another case at hand.

Supreme Court does go by the Laws of the land, it be unprecedented if they go for an Insurrectist favor.

our strength and what governs us.

The 6 so-called originalist justices who comprise SCOTUS' majority, seem to be in difficult situation as to trump's claims of immunity, and most of all as to his ineligibility to be on presidential ballots according to the 14th Amendment, Sec. 3.
