So yeah, if Biden commits insurgency, then his should be off the ballot. But last time I checked he hasn't come anywhere close.
But, Republicans would have you believe “fair is fair.” Trump got impeached, so Biden should get impeached. Trump got kicked off the ballot, so Biden should get kicked off the ballot. This has nothing to do with pesky things like details and rule of law, it’s just about my side vs your side, unless my side is winning, then I’ll take the law into consideration again.
That's what authoritarians literally believe. It's a tribal mentality. "Might makes right." "The ends justify the means."
Still waiting for Harris to become a secret trans woman like Obama.
You're forgetting that for these people, "commit insurgency" means "supports things I don't like".
The real question is what Thomas's dissenting opinion would be when the SC rules otherwise, and if he gets paid by the word.
Excuse me? Are you just going to ignore his wanton use of the word "malarkey"?
He committed an insurgency... against the road when he got into his Mustang and put it in gear back in the 70s.
Eventually, we will have no one on the ballot.
