“Without such congressional legislation, Justice Elena Kagan was among several justices who wanted to know “why a single state should decide who gets to be president of the United States.”
Isn’t the Presidential election always decided by just a handful of states? The Robert’s Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, so there is that I suppose….
Cry me a river
It was a wonderful hearing to listen to, in it’s entirety. You could hear the skepticism from all justices, that letting a state decide that someone is guilty of something that a court of law has not determined them to be guilty of, and therefore, should not be allowed to submit their name to the citizens to vote on, would be the most dangerous of precedents. A state could decide that a candidate is incoherent, or has allowed a border incursion, etc, any excuse, to remove them from the people’s choice.
Almost as head scratching as a bunch of Senators claiming they couldn’t convict Trump because he’d left office by the time they allowed the trial to take place … because they thought he’d slink off into infamy and not be a problem …
I’ll give Trump credit, you underestimate him at your own peril.
Joe, not head scratching at all. The arguments on the defense side were succinct, precise, and all made sense in regards to the reading of the 14th amendment. The prosecution side wanted to spend time talking about “the insurrection”, and the Jurists simply were not interested in diving down that rabbit hole of “did he, did he not”.
It’s just odd that the justices decided all the sudden to worry about the consequences of this case… when they didn’t seem all that worried about the consequences of tossing Roe or their curious decision to decide the Second Amendment should be interpreted only through whatever historical nonsense that Clarence Thomas came up with to earn some more vacation time paid for by another billionaire.
Even Trump said January 6th was an insurrection. Of course he blamed Nancy Pelosi, which is adorable in its own way because all the people complaining about how senile Joe Biden is just ignore that sort of statement.
They did not “all of a sudden decide to worry about the consequences”. That is a one sided news source feeding you highlights/narrative. Listen to the full hearing. The “consequences” construct is related to the idea that any state could decide whoever they want on or off the ballot for a national election, based solely on how they felt about what someone did/did not do. Regardless, a majority of their questioning focused on the particulars of the 14th amendment, as it relates to the President. The hearing is a good listen, both the liberal and conservative justices had the same line of questioning.
