  • It was a unanimous decision...

    Makes sense too imo. States shouldn't be able to disqualify presidential candidates otherwise you start getting politically motivated removals which would block R or D candidates from getting enough electoral college votes to get over the line.

    Let's hope the more serious decision around presidential immunity is a different outcome though...

  • It's a big game dirty game though - this one looks like the democrats looking to curtail the republican's ability to use muh-states-rights to do things like ignore election results and for the electoral college to vote for their preferred candidate.

    Not that the Supreme Court gives a fuck about even pretending to hold with precedent any more.
