#SCOTUS refusing to even consider 14th Amendment challenges to Trump’s eligibility when all these conservative legal scholars are arguing that he should be disqualified just further erodes The Court’s legitimacy. It’s partisanship over even FedSoc “principles.”

I’m a realist and never gave that effort any chance but they should show their work.

Because it's not really up to the SCOTUS. That's not how the US legal system works.

You're giving the Court way more power than it actually has and the complaining about the way it wields the power. Really, the Court just doesn't have this power.

In this step in the election process it's all up to states as they run their elections. The Supreme Court has no authority to interfere at this point.
