It appears that, once again... what? Try some self-awareness lol

You're thinking of the 14th amendment btw, the greatest double-edged sword in American law

So who do you all think Trump's VP is going to be if he announces it tomorrow? Gabbard? Carson? Scott? Haley?

I personally want Gabbard for another Gabbard/Harris showdown. It's a repeat of 2020 anyways, might as well get some more amusement out of it.

What does the CRA have to do with any of these recent court rulings?

See point 3 of my first comment on the subject since civil rights was brought up.

The CRA is a nifty piece of legislation. It practically lets the government get involved in anything as long as so much a claim of racism and discrimination is going around.

That's the fun part. Since it's possible to do that for virtually anything, that means the government can get involved in virtually anything. It normalized ever-increasing bureaucratization. In particular, I seem to recall someone getting jailed for election memes that might fool black voters because they were "misinformation"?

Read Age of Entitlement.

EDIT: Actually, I should elaborate.

The CRA, that most foul and unholy of laws, had three purposes:

1) To punish the South which was embarrassing the politicos.

The politicos and especially the northern ones have a disturbingly but unsurprisingly large percentage of them still assblasted Lincoln didn't have every single southern and northern "sympathizer" white men, women and child executed at the end of the American Civil War.

Less about blacks rioting and more about those "uppity educated republican blacks" not knowing their place of being either uneducated democrat voting plantation and/or house niggers.

Highly doubt it'll be Gabbard. Best guess now, imo, is Vivek or Carson.

It wasn't the first of its kind, though. It was a product of the Progressive Era and the New Deal, which put the letter of the Consitution in the back seat in favor of the notion that the government can do whatever the hell it wants, as long as it's for some nebulous notion of the "greater good".

The more I see this attitude, the more I can sympathize with "The South shall rise again!" And in a way, it is. The best economic places in the US now is the South as they are friendly to business while the North and North aligned states like California are slowly shrinking in influence.

Is that really a good idea? State ballot access laws are the law, but if one candidate ran unopposed in the US Presidential election because the other was incapacitated or died months before but the state deadlines ran out, we would have a Constitutional Crisis.

Or to put a fine point on it, if Trump dropped dead tomorrow are you fine with Biden getting an automatic W?
Click to expand...
No, of course I wouldn't be fine with that.

But every dime the DNC has to spend fighting to put someone else on the ballot after they literally rigged a dementia patient in that was already brain dead in 2020 and has only gotten worse since, is a dime they can't spend rigging races in 2024.

I am sure I shouldn't be, but I'm at the point that I'm absolutely ok with the right using pointless lawfare to waste the DNC's time and resources. Because that's what they would do, and what they absolutely are doing, right now.
