From the earlier AP link:

The court sounds very open to leaving Trump on the ballot
BY NICHOLAS RICCARDI


Just about every justice has asked pointed, skeptical questions of Murray. Even the Democratic-appointed ones haven’t thrown him lifelines.

Murray argues the only reason Section 3 hasn’t come up in the past 150 years is because no one engaged in an act as grave as Jan. 6. Justice Kavanagh scoffed at that, noting that the reason is more likely because a judge in 1869 ruled that only Congress can create a process to disqualify officeholders and the law Congress passed to do that has sunsetted.

That may be a hint as to one direction the court could go to in disposing the case.

Getting that 10 minutes with SCOTUS is something she will regret.

This will be like Mike Tyson vs anyone around 1988-1989.

It speaks to the younger generation of lawyers who are so self-absorbed and insulated due to growing up with no social interaction that they never learned how to talk to others and respect those with authority.


Haha...you just diagnosed SFP.....

So she just said she thinks the SOS can decide who goes on the ballot and who doesnt.

It's a terrible argument that should have never seen the light of day. I guess it's not his fault it's being brought.


When I was very young, I had a trial judge grant a motion that never should have been granted and it was appealed. At the oral argument I was peppered with questions and my only response was that it was not my fault the judge granted it.

Courtroom was packed with lawyers I knew. It was a stupid argument so I guess I get what he is receiving

Yeah, that’s not going to bite her on the arse AT ALL.

Sounds like the mullahs in Iran determining who can even be on the ballot.

yep and the candidate has no due process in the matter.

its absurd. But they have to argue the absurdity because this is lawfare, not law.

Hopefully the court issues the decision first thing of next week and puts this to bed.

These people are fricking scum

If they do that, it would be totally out of the ordinary for SCOTUS.

Their decisions usually aren’t released for months.

Alito: should we be concerned with individual judges in states unilaterally determining who we are allowed to vote for?

Stevenson: Its really not a big deal.

This is time sensitive though... the CO primary is in just a few weeks, right?

Ceding that time to the guy who just got buttfricked by Kagan with a strap on probably would have been a good idea for her.

They have to, all analysts have said this will come out in weeks at the latest because Super Tuesday is less than a month away.

I'm thinking 9-0 and early opinion with limited discussion- one point maybe 2

I don't think the lib handlers want this case to bring out what absolute idiots they are when it's easy to let others handle this loser.

I'm not a lawyer and I'm sure this has been said, but isn't this as simple as how can you penalize somebody who hasn't been found guilty? Wouldn't this clearly violate innocent until proven guilty? This seems like a judge giving a defendant 20 years at the arraignment

Common sense tells me this ought to be a unanimous decision.
Experience tells me at least one Justice will dissent.
I predict Sotomayor will hold the lone dissenting opinion.
