      Oh, but it’s only about states’ rights when it is convenient for conservative arguments. Otherwise it’s just federal power all the way down.

      If the individual states don’t allow him on their ballot although he hasn’t been found guilty by courts or congress how long is it before the pre-election period is just red states eliminating blue nominees?

      This is bad precedent.

          What’s stopping the republicans from doing the same to Biden?

          That’s what the people who are taking offence to what I’m saying are not seeing.

              What are they trying to impeach Biden for right now?

              My argument is one person should have the ability to disqualify someone from running for president without being convicted by congress or the court.

              I understand it’s an unpopular opinion but this is going to backfire when republicans start going after the democratic nominee for anything they imagine and they control the Secretary of State and state Supreme Court.

                  Are you just going to skip over the main part of what I said there?

                  this is going to backfire when republicans start going after the democratic nominee for anything they imagine and they control the Secretary of State and state Supreme Court.

                  This is the important part but you’re just going to not address it?

                  Is it too hard?

        On what grounds would they be removed? They can’t kick somebody off the ballot if it won’t stand up in court.

            Thanks. It’s a legit question though. A rogue Secretary of State could try but you know it’ll land in court and the Judiciary will decide based on the merits of the case.

            Personally I support this precedent being set. We should uphold our laws to protect our country. If a Democrat ever lands in a similar situation then this precedent will be good to have had set.

        But then the argument is we shouldn’t follow the law because the GOP might break it

              I told you my reasoning, I clarified it and if you’re looking for an argument about it you’re not getting it from me.

              Have a nice day and thanks for the conversation.

                I just asked a non confrontational question. If you can’t deal with that, that’s your business
