You know, I was under the impression that refusing to do the right thing because you're scared of the consequences was the definition of cowardice.

The fact that SCOTUS decided that letting a literal insurrectionist stay in the ballot, rather than make the legally and morally correct decision, only because it would mean they'd have to smack down Texas, Florida, et al, later, makes them cowards.
