Pretty much. They keep circling back to “Well, he might have committed insurrection, but if we find him guilty, republican states said they will declare Biden committed insurrection and we will have to litigate that over and over.” So they are scared of literally enforcing the law because of threats.
republican states said they will declare Biden committed insurrection
Great! All they have to do is point to the live coverage of Biden calling for his supporters to gather in Washington (“It’s going to be wild!”), telling them to “Fight like hell”, and directing them to march on the Capitol.
Hey Court, don’t ya think pretty much anyone doing that stuff SHOULD be banned from holding office?
If you are arguing that Republicans would claim lesser, stupid crap (“he vetoed a bill”, “he stood with union members”, “he asked for a recount”) is the same as insurrection, we want the lower courts to test such claims and make that a hard row to mow.
You can tell they are pissed they even have to do this.
And you could practically see that Thomas popped a chubby when he was called Chief Justice by mistake.
Wait, Clarence Thomas said something? Maybe I should have listened to catch that rarity.
Hes said a couple things lol.
Also it seems they don’t want to find him ineligible because that means they will have to do more work instead of vacations at billionaire retreats.
Isn’t that the general gist of most of their decisions?

“If we seek justice, then the other side will lie, and we are corrupt, so while we don’t want to uphold justice, we will try to uphold the lie.”
I was thinking about that today… we’ve reached a point in the US where “fear is speech,” but then I recognized I’m white, so it’s only new to me.

His decade+ of silence ended years ago. Now he has a sugar daddy and he does what he’s told.
It ended basically as soon as they had a conservative majority locked in. Now he doesn’t need to nap anymore.
