Zero, ------- did not somehow become not an insurrectionist overnight nor as a result of this decision.
SO, instead of making the difficult and correct decision that a state CAN decide who is on their ballot, something that has been done since forever, they came up with some ridiculous nonsensical rationale.
Which does not solve the problem.
Even the liberal justices got it wrong, because they based their conclusion on 2 factors-a. that single or small groups of states decide who is the president or not, which is the exact result of the electoral college and b. that bad faith actors would use this to exclude say Biden.
Well, the SC should not make decisions in fear of what terrorists will do, because then the terrorists are successful.
And this is the important point: This decision solves nothing. It does not alter the underlying fact that a presidential candidate is an insurrectionist.
That fact will have to be addressed at some point-when ballots are being drafted, when people enter the voting booth, when votes are counted, when votes are certified by the states, when votes are certified by the EC, when electoral votes are counted/certified.
At some point the issue will have to come to a head, well it will have to if ------- wins in November, if he loses, we have other problems. Some entity will have to make an informed decision that ------- is ineligible to hold office. And even no decision is a decision.
So, sooner is better than later, but sooner is no longer an option. The Supreme Court essentially decided chaos in November-January is better than chaos now.
