    I know the expectation is for the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse this ruling.

    However, I think there are plenty of Republicans that recognize things have gone wrong for them and would like to see Trump eliminated, particularly if they can complain that it was a terrible thing that they would never support.

        A coward or an evil piece of shit that agrees with fascism.

        I hate to say it (no I don’t, I hate that it’s true), but it’s often both with MAGAts.

      The Supremes will likely overturn it, but this is the best possible opportunity for the GOP to right the ship. I think if just one justice will cross and vote with the other side, Roberts goes with them. His legacy can go from Citizens United and overturning Roe to stopping the second insurrection from happening and saving democracy.

      There’s also a slightly higher chance that they leave the whole thing alone and say it’s up to the states to decide. If enough states, especially swing states, bar Trump from running over the next several months, the GOP may need to call an audible at the convention.
