It's where it should be. Taking my statements as cheering is very odd. There's legitimate legal questions that really do need an answer and the ruling is stayed, meaning he's on the ballots that will be mailed out prior to the election.

It's an intriguing case that involves whether the 14th amendment in section 3 applies to the president or not. Debates from 1866 claim it does, trumps lawyers claim it doesn't. Then there's the legal argument if it requires a conviction or whatever. It's literally history unfolding in front of us.
It's literally not.. it's literally the Democrats doing anything and every thing they possibly can to stop Trump from running again... Constitution be damned.

Just because you interpret it one way or someone else interprets it another way doesn't matter. I think it's a slippery slope and clearly was not intended for this, and I hope that's the final ruling. The intent was literally to keep the Confederates from holding office. I'm of the belief that intent matters and that the intent was never for it to be used this way.
This is a far cry from your earlier posts on the subject. I hope whatever you took to manage your TDS is something you start taking more often.

I'm also intrigued by the whole question of total immunity for presidents, as trumps lawyers are arguing in another case.
No one is arguing that a previous President has "total immunity" from everything.

The ramifications of that being a ruling are absurd, as Biden could simply and legally cancel all elections, jail the maga crowd - and it would be legal.
If Trump wins, and the political ruling class doesn't like the VP or the Speaker... I wouldn't put this past them.
