However this doesn't extend for candidates?
I think in their Trump ruling, they specifically said states can't bar people running for federal office. State offices are up to the state.
I disagree and think the supreme Court of the United States is wholly corrupt at this point, almost openly, but the rulings align technically
they specifically said states can't bar people running for federal office. State offices are up to the state.
Yep, which is absolute nonsense when you consider the fact that elections for federal office are the domain of the states, making them the ONLY ones who could possibly bar people from running without running afoul of the constitution.
To call those corrupt hacks "justices" is an enormous affront to the very concepts of justice and reason.
The Constitution does give power to Congress to pass laws on how states conduct voting (maybe just for federal elections? I'm not sure).
In this case, though, there isn't a congressional law on how the amendment should be enforced, so typically that falls back on the state you'd think. But no, instead the conservatives on the court made up their own law somehow.
Well there is the Voting Rights Act, of course this supreme court has been trying to dismantle it completely. Then again nobody's ever accused them of being consistent or honest.
This from a court controlled by the party that decries the federal government having too much power. Watch as the spiders eat their own and go on not caring.
