    And yet Trump is on the ballot. Seems like justice wasn’t served to me.

      Trump is on the ballot in all fifty states because SCOTUS decided that states don’t get to apply 14A S3, even though 100% of the operation of federal elections is constitutionally granted to the states.

        Ahhh you see the mistake you made there is a common one. You read it. This SCOTUS is more of a “whatever heritage foundation wants” vibes based court.

          Like all conservatives, SCOTUS has the outcome they want to reach, and will use whatever means they can to justify it regardless of what the evidence is. Like abortion, or immigration, or universal health care, or government regulations, or religion, or…

            It’s funny how we’ve heard the GOP whine about ‘activist judges’ for decades and it turned out it was just projection all along…

          So-called “originalist” judges rub their hands together and do that evil grin when they get a chance to reinterpret laws in ways that benefit their political allies.

    Jack Smith is fighting the good fight. Win or lose, he’s a hero for trying as hard as he has.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
