I, as a “life-long woman” for over 80 years, have observed the truth of your statement.

I have reached the sad conclusion that women should have never been given the right to vote.

I do not doubt that there are quite a few people out there who are so pissed off about what direction this country has gone that if the decision is against Trump and he is taken off the ballots, there will be a lot of people who would love to do anything to restore this country including grabbing some weaponry and ‘going to town’.

The question is, are there enough people out there to even make that happen?

Considering that there are more people out there we’re more concerned about who won the Grammys than they are about the fact that the country is going down the toilet in a rapid descent makes makes me think that there might not be.

When you go through attorneys like breath mints, it’s going to lead to some unpredictable results at times.

That is difficult to do when the leftists prosecutors and judges keep trying to prosecute and flip them. In any event, he should have hired someone with more Supreme Court experience in big cases. Being generous, this guy got rolled.

Thomas is making the case this is a simple jurisdictional issue, and states do not have the authority to charge someone for the federal crime of insurrection. Only the federal government can. Now others are tearing him apart as well.

None of the Confederate leaders were convicted of insurrection, and yet they were disqualified from holding public office after the Civil War.

This is probably why Trump’s legal team didn’t rely on that argument as a point of law.
