    I’m neither a Constitutional scholar nor a lawyer. I’ll go with Marbury v Madison as who gets to decide those finer points.

    And they decided 9-0.

      All you’re really telling me with namedropping Marbury is that you ALREADY know it’s constitutional for states to decide their own ballots and that your previously asserted opinion “it’s unconstitutional!” had zero basis in fact, but are simply arguing in bad faith.

        their own ballots

        Not federal ballots.

        Except a state tried here and got slapped down 9-0. Seems to me it was deemed unconstitutional by the folks that decide that sort of thing.

          Not federal ballots.

          Until today, YES, federal ballots. Refer back to the Constitution.

          Except a state tried here and got slapped down 9-0. Seems to me it was deemed unconstitutional by the folks that decide that sort of thing.

          Today. For the first time. And with exceptionally questionable grounds.

          Look at you trying so hard to retcon your bad faith arguments, lol.

            Lol. It’s ok to disagree with the decision. It’s ok to be mad at the decision. It’s ok to internet argue the constitutionality of the decision. All of it makes this >< much difference. Trump will be on the ballot, will be the nominee, and will be absolutely crushed by the most popular president in history. I don’t know why anyone is worried.
