    Can’t wait for them to explain how states don’t have rights.

      They don’t owe Trump anything at this point. They have their lifetime appointments.

        Clarence Thomas is a good example of how effective bribes can still be.

            I used that in the most literal sense I could. I know Latin languages like English, Spanish, French, Brazilian, etc. fairly well. I grew up learning classical Spanish guitar and saying retard constantly. It is purely your own relation to using words as a slur. Just ask Australians or kiwis about going to the US and saying cunt.

        I honestly think they have skeletons and those “sins” would be leaked by Russia if they don’t rule as they are told

    They need to issue a ruling especially since Illinois just removed him as well.

    Let’s hope they are smart enough not to test the resolve of a real democracy.

    I said on mastodon that the correct decisions is who the states put on the ballot is up to them. However states do not elective a president, they send electors. The electors will not be allowed to choose Trump when they meet. Ideally this comes with a reminder that no law or contract may bind who an elector votes for when they meet. This would give the electors a lot more power which I think is a good thing (and also the whole point of them in the first place).

    The election might go to the house of representatives of course.

    The SCotUS is now invalid & all future rulings by them should be ignored until they are cleaned out & replaced.

    If the states ignored this ruling, SCotUS can’t do a damn thing about it. We don’t re-run elections.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
