The Constitution only says participation in an insurrection is disqualifying, not conviction of a crime related to insurrection. That’s a huge difference in the eyes of lawyers & Constitutional scholars.
And the SCOTUS says Bush beat Gore.
I really wish the idea that the SCOTUS is a body of pure, detached law would die. It is and always has been an overtly political institution dedicated to legislating from the bench. It has never been otherwise.
They aren’t going to kick Trump off the ballot. There are actual reasonable legal arguments for why that would be wrong. And they don’t even need them. Bullshit is adequate. He’s their good boy.
