but they took oaths to uphold the Constitution, and they did not. Who's not going to understand the source of the authority when tRump rewrites the Constitution on Day One? This action is probably not that consequential, although it could have been. But, their intent is to stand by Donald when they had a pathway not to do so. They had a clear pathway given to them by those who fought a war to uphold our Democracy, and they fell flat on their faces at Donald Trump's feet.

As far as seeking a race against Trump because he is the weaker candidate, did anyone ever think that he isn't the weaker candidate because he has demonstrated a willingness to lie and cheat to get what he wants, a ticket out of prison? This one will lie to the nth degree. He has no business running for President after he incited an insurrection. And now he can run for President even we get him convicted at trial, because he can run from jail. That's what this decision gives us.

I have NO respect for this Court.
