today's #SCOTUS decision, that effectively says #Trump *can* be on the ballot despite being a #Russian #traitor who *clearly* attempted a #coup would have more #credibility if #Thomas had been recused

He was not. He signed in on it. His own wife *clearly* was part of the #traitorous #insurrection

This SCOTUS has no moral #authority or credibility. Going forward I'll consider them #complicit to the ongoing Russian #treason op

My hopes have dimmed a lot that the #US will remain free by Jan 2025

@synlogic that wasn't the question before the Court, though.

They were asked to review a legal proceeding in the state court and found that the state court didn't follow proper proceedings. They couldn't really rule on Trump on the ballot because they weren't asked whether Trump can be on the ballot.

The appeals court can only address the questions brought to them.
