Luttig said it would be “impossible” for the Supreme Court to interpret the 14th Amendment any differently than the Colorado court.
The Supremely Corrupt Court: Hold my beer.
"Well, actually, an 'Officer' in this context is an unelected representative. And since there's no direct line for the President, they must've meant to exempt that office implicitly (even though that would really need an explicit exemption) so we're going to side with Trump"
But doing so would mean presidents are above US law. It would also mean we could just call the '24 election for Biden now and because he'd be above the law, you couldn't make him leave. Really a lose/lose for Trump on this one.
I love the optimism. I can muster it sometimes. But it really does feel like they're not playing by the rules anymore. They'd just make it not work for anyone outside their team. Anyone can logic their way to any conclusion, honestly, if they're clever enough. And that's, like, a job requirement. I think, we've already seen it a few times now.
