Alito is essentially tossing out the possibility of if biden could be a traitor and yanked from office for giving a country like Iran aid. Awesome.

The other interesting argument from Mitchell is that even if guilty, there's nothing about RUNNING for office, only HOLDING office. In specific, between now and when trump could hold office, it's possible he could be completely acquitted. So in the same way a 34 year old can run for office if 35 by the time he/she swears in, trump can run for office now with the question on whether he can or can't HOLD office being unresolved.
Gorsuch just smoked this dude with his own words about process.
She's not. Kagan seems to be one of the smart ones. She's purposely playing devils advocate in a way for the witness to be redirected away from a weak argument.
Perhaps I am naive, but I would be greatly disappointed if this was untrue. As a lawyer, Colorado’s argument is so bad and politically motivate AND the impact of this is so huge, I cannot imagine any of the many varieties of judges I have dealt with over the years upholding the decision. It is wrong in so many levels and it torpedoes rule of law at the same time - no Supreme wants to be responsible for that.Sounded to me like Colorado lost their argument with ALL of SCOTUS.
I'm still trying to figure out how the events of January 6th actually qualify as an attempted insurrection, or how Trump was directly involved with it.
Sotomayor and brown-jackson are wildly outclassed intellectually by alito. It's fun hearing Alito rapping strategically back and forth with Mitchell. He sets up a question to promt a response three arguments away.
Brown Jackson is an idiot.
It's a two pronged approach. If they can't find him guilty and convict in a court of "law", they will pull out all stops to find him guilty and convict him in the court of public opinion. They are terrified of him going scorched earth upon being elected.Can’t be found guilty unless tried and convicted. Unless you are a DimoCrap!
I think more than anything they are afraid of his judicial appointments. There's more power there than in almost anything else, and I think that's why they pulled out all the stops to cheat the system to insure that he didn't get a 2nd consecutive term. The impact he'd have had on the US courts would have ushered in an era of conservative judgements that would have lasted a generation, and he'd have completely changed the balance of the SCOTUS.It's a two pronged approach.

This right here is something I see Liberals and Leftists talk about a lot. His picks for the Supreme Court have and will shape the future of the country for potentially decades. The smart Liberals/Leftists recognize this and talk about it, the dumb ones focus on shit like him ordering McDonalds for sports teams and smelling bad.I think more than anything they are afraid of his judicial appointments.

Just hope they live long enough to settle these 2A attacks once in for all and before the perish.This right here is something I see Liberals and Leftists talk about a lot.
