Yeah... This would be one of the worst things possible.
The idea you could take someone to court to disqualify them means you're allowing the courts into politics.
But hey I already see people here celebrating this because "Fuck Trump" Right? Yet don't see they're creating a new loaded gun that can be turned against them in the next election...
And before someone says "Four cases"... any bar would be able to be met by a politically motivated group, but again you do you, just realize shit like this has long lasting repercussions.
The courts have already been involved in politics. Like, all the fuckin time.
The US Supreme Court literally decided the 2000 election that largely led us to where we are now.
Politicians need to face repercussions for their actions.
This wouldn't allow courts in politics; it would allow the constitution in politics.
Allow me to introduce you to my friend Chad. Hanging Chad.
Meh. I don’t really care. With the bias in the senate and all the Gerrymandering on the state level, we might as well have the crazies disqualify candidates as random. Look at Georgia and kemp, they are already doing it. Let’s let them do it more so people wake up and realize this is not acceptable.
