(23,298 posts)10. That is incorrect- in that case, the court made the right ruling
Somebody had sued in state court regarding 14th amendment disqualification for federal office.
The court ruled, with 2 liberals concurring, and the other only partially dissenting, that the suit should have been brought in federal court, to determine disqualification for the presidency nationwide, rather than have 50 suits in state courts to disqualify Trump on a state by state basis - imagine the chaos in that scenario, as red states disqualified Biden in retaliation.

That's interesting. How can he pull that off? Would there have to be a ruling from the Supreme Court?

It shows they totally have his back. If that had been Obama, he would have been barred in a nanosecond.

No, but the 6 pukes are for sure. They would have barred Obama if he had done J6. I have no doubt.

What was disappointing was that nobody refiled the suit in *federal* court

Republican politicians who stand silently by while Trump does all these things are "lowering the bar"

Once Trump gerrymanders the House to full control by the Republicans, they will only put him or his designee in.
