    I couldn’t find a single legitimate reason in that decision to arbitrarily remove the power of the states or the democratic voters to remove a candidate based on very clear strictures in the Constitution, except for the implication that the conservatives would try to use this measure by claiming every valid candidate had somehow committed insurrection.

    But conservatives already basically tried to do that with Biden with their “documents” case for more than 2 years now and it didn’t work, they couldn’t make even that relatively insignificant charge stick.

    In this case, we have a judgment of a candidate liabile of an insurrection that directly violates the presidential oath of office thay previously took.

          You ignored the context of the civil war. It wasn’t about liberals or conservatives. It was about the federal government not allowing former confederate states to elect confederates into federal office. In other words, as determined by SCOTUS, this is the constitution explicitly taking power away from states and delegating it to the federal government. Thereby it is NOT a reserved right of the states and the people

            I haven’t talked about the civil war at all, I think you’re trying to respond to a different commenter.
