Right.

Congress would control that, just like determining an insurrection was committed.

They didn't do that.

The media did.

This is all a moot point.

You're right, the Supreme Court ruled.

Trump simply does not qualify.

Nine Justices disagreed. Final Answer.

congressional investigation that found he engaged in insurrection with a bi partisan panel.

Meaningless. It has to go to the entire House. And BTW...where is the evidence from that bipartisan panel? O right, it was deleted before the other party took control of the House. Nothing to see here.

One judge "finds" he did it. What a lovely country we would have if that's all it took. No defense, no evidence needed. Just a judges opinion.

Short slope to a work camp. Maybe we could sort of concentrate all the people we disagree with in one.

The specific crimes I was thinking of were: impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors or criminal conviction for treason.

States are generally free to decide their own candidates for State level elections.

Federal elections are subject to Federal law and the Federal Constitution. A State just deciding someone is disqualified based on their interpretation is both unconstitutional and incredibly stupid. It was always going to SCOTUS and it was always going to be decided this way.

Me, I don't want to live in a country where ANY level of government can just decide you are guilty of something without due process. And that's what these states tried to do. The mad downvoters lack critical thinking ability and are going off emotion.

But it is the process by which a candidate can be removed from the ballot.

So if you want to go with Trump is criminally guilty of insurrection, and therefore ineligible to be on the ballot, when and where was the trial?

ITT:

IMPEACHMENT has entered the chat.

[citation needed]

List one federal candidate a state successfully removed (that wasn't convicted in a federal court, or died before the election.)

Edit: I see the downvotes, but I don't see a name. I thought this was a place for reasoned debate, but it's as bad as r/politics where anything regarding the orange man is concerned.

it’s never been up to the federal government to decide disqualification.

It's up to Congress to decide if someone is guilty of federal insurrection, not the states.

I guess SCOTUS can actually read section 3 of the 14th amendment.

9-0.

Games on Steam sales.

I wonder if she sold any stock or took short positions before she tanked the stock.

I'm sure he thought he was making a difference, but in reality the only difference he probably made was that the fire extinguishers on Embassy Row will be checked for expiration dates.

Easiest vote in the world is to vote to raise someone else's taxes. We should do that for billionaires.

This is the real reason. Google is an ad company, not a search engine.

Why doesn't everyone like what I like?

I hope WOPR and SkyNet would be taken as a warning not to do that.

At some point, that part was taken off the plane and it was replaced, or maintenance was done on it, or maintenance was done on something underneath it. It was then replaced. There is a documentation trail that says all of this was fully completed. The documentation was signed off on by someone who was qualified in this task, and/ or by a supervisor who checked it off.

If there is no documentation, or if the documentation indicates something was done that was in fact not done, the CAA/ FAA is going to have a big problem with this. They are sort of interested in how maintenance is done and documented. If they didn't do this right, what else are they/ have they been "pencil whipping?"

I can see a pretty thorough inspection of their maintenance practices and documentation in the near future. If they find a pattern of this, the maintenance gets decertified and the airline can't fly until they are cleared.

And that would open the door to paying an additional annual tax on your house, vehicles, stocks, etc. Make no mistake, this would be designed to go after the middle class, not the wealthy.
