1. A month from now.

2. K&R

3. Decision to hear it is as widely expected. I'm thinking the result will be 5-4 or 6-3 in favor of Colorado

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. Hope you are

right.

7. I'm predicting 9-0 against Colorado

Otherwise the unintended consequences are incalculable.

8. Do you see that as ignoring the Constitution?

[WarGamer]

9. No. I see the Constitution being vague and allowing interpretation here.

Most importantly it trashes the concept of innocent until proven guilty, in a Court of Law, by ones peers.

Trump hasn't even been charged with an insurrection crime.

If you allow any State to exclude a candidate...

Why can't the AG in Burning Cross County, AL accuse Biden of... I don't know... whatever and have the local Courts make a finding that he's an insurrectionist. Doesn't matter if it's REAL because the Constitution supplies NO GUARDRAILS

10. 1. Section 3 is specific. 2. States run elections. 3. There are appeals courts.

That's a tangled mess you've thrown out there.

[WarGamer]

11. then all 50 States can have altered ballots.

with one or zero names on the ballot

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. That's the system.

5. He will be on Colorado's primary ballot

Today was the deadline

6. If they punt it to congress, congress could decide he's not qualified AFTER he's elected.

Crap!

13. That was fast. I'm not predicting a good outcome.
