Supremes allow insurrectionist to stay on the ballot

I don’t say this very often these days, but I agree with the Supreme Court, which held today that states cannot remove federal candidates from state ballots.

I don’t want Trump on the ballot, of course — I want Congress to kick him off (which they won’t do because of all the Trump cultists in the House).

But I also don’t want states getting to decide this. You know that if the court agreed that states could do this, half of the red states would find ways to keep Biden off the ballot just because they can. It’s not like they need a reason.

That’s why this decision was unanimous, with even the liberals agreeing.

  1. Although I noticed that they also ruled against challenging Trump (or anyone else) in a Federal court. Looks to me as if they were trying to make sure they didn’t have to see this issue again in their lifetimes.
