At least 3 of the justices in CO knew this was nonsense. And even if SCOTUS was dominated by Dem appointees, I think they’d toss it out.
I'm really interested to see how the Supreme Court votes on this. The move was conspicuously partisan and unconstitutional. This will be a test for the liberal judges.
Well, here's the issue.
This (most likely) is going to go down 6-3. I know it, you know it, the world knows it. The SC just decided not to let Jack Smith rush the other sham trial, which is a big deal.
The presumptive 3 Supreme Court justices ruling in favor of removing Trump/upholding CO's rule solely on party lines signals to the Dems that Trump did something wrong (in this precise case of the 14th section 3, he did not). The response from the left will most certainly be, "The only reason this got voted down is conservative Trump appointees voted along party lines!" and they'll continue the "Orange Man Insurrectionist" attacks. No Dem will ever accept if Trump wins.
Republicans, on the other hand, know full well this is crap and that it's 100% politically motivated, just like the other sham trials. "This is Biden weaponizing the DOJ! It's election interference at the highest level! They're rigging the election AGAIN right in front of us!" There is no world in which Republicans accept a Biden win, with all this apparent election interference and lawfare happening.
So- we have an election with the genuine possibility that *neither side will accept the election no matter the outcome*, and that's a very troubling scenario.
Other than different candidates, I don't see a clear way out of this other than buckle up. 2024 is going to be fun.
To quote the Veep, "This is going to be the most election we have seen."

So Lloyd has been at Walter Reed for 4 days and the Pentagon Press are going after DoD right now for disclosures talking about a strategic failure. To be quite honest, don't worry Kathleen Hicks is just as shit at her job as Lloyd.

CinC didn't know SecDef was in the ICU for 3 days.

They could have told him at breakfast and it would be forgotten by the time coffee was served...
This gets better and better.

We went about 24 hours without a SecDef and Austin still has a job? For 24 hours...no Secretary of Defense.
Unreal.

yeah if he didn't resign over the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, he's not willingly resigning over this.

Remember, accountability is only a thing in a conservative administration.
Well, President Trump also had General Milley...
Accountability sure didn't extend to height and weight standards in that case...

This is partially why I was against removal of Confederate monuments. Whether you believe that most of them were built to honor the lost cause mythology or not. They were allowed to be built in the spirit of reconciliation.
But holy shit, William Penn is having his statue removed? Lol wtf.

Removing the statue of a guy from a state that is named after him. Sooooo, why not change the state's name?
