    3 members of SCOTUS were appointed by Trump. The other GOP nominated members are terrible people.

    They will just make something up and make Colorado keep him on the ballot.

      That’s more or less what I read into the questioning. They’re not going to rule he didn’t do an insurrection, or that he can’t be disqualified for that, they’re going to rule a single state can’t make the decision.

        And I’m sure they’ll prescribe who does have that authority. They won’t just leave it open, so that the next time it happens (if our democracy lives long enough) the challenge will find its way back to them, effectively giving themselves the power.

          Honestly, I doubt it. The questioning seemed to me to suggest they hated the idea of having to ever decide this, so they’ll kick it to Congress.
