Actually no. The appellate hearings don’t have to accept the lower court’s findings and can ignore the opinion entirely to reach their own conclusions. Leaving him on the ballot creates a potential constitutional crisis. Consider the possibility that it doesn’t reach the Supreme Court until Trump has been elected.
The best outcome is Trump is not the GOP nominee. Parties can set their own rules for primaries, but once he’s on the ticket, you’re talking about the courts disenfranchising a bunch of morons. And while we may all prefer that morons don’t vote, the fact is that the legal system that protects their right to vote also protects everyone else’s right to vote.
This was a justice splitting the baby to try to keep both sides from attacking politically and physically.
