During a two-hour oral argument, justices avoided wrestling with the contentious question of whether former President Donald Trump “engaged in insurrection.”
This is the truth. They were always going to rule to keep him on the ballot as a matter of law and the implications of that ruling. Just because people were trying to remove King Asshat today doesn’t stop a complete abuse of this tomorrow with an actually qualified candidate.
That said, ruling “for” him here gives them the opportunity to rule “against” him when Jack Smith’s case is pushed about Trump’s immunity from prosecution.
I’m wiling to put money on the fact that they will not even hear the appeal to that case.

I’m hoping they do their fucking jobs when that case lands in front of them, but it’s a slim hope.
