That doesn’t mean your opinion will stand in this matter. And I’m confident it won’t. It doesn’t take a terribly bright person to practice law. Thankfully some terribly bright people choose to do so.

The matter is unclear. That there was an insurrection is an opinion. That Trump favored it requires knowledge of his state of mind. That one be convicted of insurrection is necessary in such cases where it is politicized opinion not decidable without adversarial competition before the court. That bureaucrats can politicize the process depriving the people of a state of a candidate that shall b elected by the people and decided by the electoral college is quite different from a senator or representative of that state other than whether the people demonstrate an interest. That such a question given even this limited set of criteria requires a decision by SCOTUS is rather obvious.

And that is just the beginning of the matter.

I know we will submit an Amicus brief, and I’m sure many others will as well.

I would be very surprised to see this court vote to politicize the presidency further, let states politicize it further, and deprive the people of their choice without the only process of exercise of that choice. And, that’s including this court’s dedication to return of sovereignty to the states and it’s intention to continue reversal of circumvention of the people by lawfare.

So we shall see.

Cheers
