    For those that didn’t read the article, just wanted to point out that the author still states that it’s very unlikely that the stacked Supreme Court will rule against Trump.

      I was going to say- it doesn’t matter if the argument is weak. The current idealistic SCOTUS has made rulings on weak arguments before.

        Oh man… So the supreme court is going to say anyone can be on the ballot without regard for eligibility?

        Or just that states are not authorized to assess the eligibility of a candidate?

        In that case, at which point during the process do we stop an intelligible candidate from taking office? After half the country voted for him? Seems silly.

      Dictating how states handle elections seems like a massive departure from how things have been dealt with in the past.

          If they want to rule in his favor they’ll need to add a disclaimer about how the decision can’t be used as precedent. Like they did with Bush v Gore.
