In reply to the discussion: Reality check: will Donald Trump seek and serve an illegal third term as president? [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(21,261 posts)Are you saying liberals on the court wanted to force Trump back on the ballot?
The truth is, if states were allowed to disqualify for federal office, then the interpretation of the 14th would be up to 50 individual courts, (which I believe was mentioned in KBJs concurrence).
That would have resulted in Biden/Harris being excluded from the ballot in numerous red states.
If SCOTUS ever ruled that 2=3, and that a constitutional amendment itself was unconstitutional, they would instantly be permanently subjugated to Trump, and lose all independent power and authority.
As I said, their loyalty is to their ideology, not to Trump the man.
In the unlikely event they do rule that 2=3 (and nobody has asked them that question as of yet), feel free to create a thread calling me out to proclaim I told you so!
