    One is the legal use of the 14th amendment and the other is just for the fuck of it.

    What you’re effectively saying is Republicans are such children they can’t run another candidate that didn’t support insurrection and will instead illegally remove opposition to their god emperor.

    Talk about the party of law and order.

      What is the difference between “legal” and “just for the fuck of it.” The legal system is just a process. The facts, justice, etc don’t factor into it. As long as those states follow their process, removing a candidate from the ballot for any reason whatsoever is perfectly legal.

      After all, you said that “state control over federal elections has always been fundamental to US federalism.” So why does a state need to allow any given candidate onto their ballot?

        Yes, a legal system is a process and you follow the process to be legal and not “just for the fuck of it”

        Are we going to ask if mayonnaise is an instrument now?

        I literally never said that.
