Will the 6 radical justices on the Supreme Court humiliate themselves?

[kpete]

Were I they, I would not have made the revealing, fatuous, and politically and constitutionally cynical, concluding argument that the former president and his lawyers made to the Supreme Court in their Reply Brief today.

1. They do it with every ruling

it'll be no different today. They are aiding and abetting the death of the U.S.A.

4. For years we have been hearing this:

The judiciary will hold.
If we loose the courts we are finished. I almost believe this is a fiat a compli.
The coup has continued all this time. The insurrection is still happening, only now it has moved to the courts.

Our only remaining hope, is that the billionaire class that has the SCOTUS in it’s pocket decide that TSF is bad for business.

Talk me down.

2. Every argument Trump's lawyers make gets back to immunity and dictatorship

SCOTUS had best weigh very carefully. They are being conned here.

It's essentially time shifting jurisdictional rulings. Thread-the-needle justice to let the biggest crooks through.

3. To humiliate yourself you have to have a sense of honor

They clearly don't. They are so tone deaf to points of honor or ethics they just don't see or hear anything that could be considered criticism.

So to them, there isn't any.

[Think. Again.]

5. So they're arguing that...

...disqualification of a candidate can not happen before Congress decides to lift that disqualification that can't happen?

Do Ihave that right?

6. They're frantically trying to figure out how not to and at the same time...

weasel out of kicking trump off ballots, which as originalists they should not as the 14A, Sec. 3 is self-executing. There's no wiggle room really. Not even the argument that he didn't participate in the Capitol riot as Sec. 3 also includes the phase of "giving aid and comfort" to the insurrectionists...which he did by watching it for more than 3 hours without calling in forces to stop it.

He's guilty as hell.
