I was doubtful that this partisan Supreme Court would uphold the #the14thamendment and keep Trump off the ballot.

However, even more important to me and the country is the President Immunity case. Whether a President is above the law or not has far more serious ramifications. Think about what Trump or any other would be dictator would do if they knew they had "total immunity".

@danwentzel The 14th Amendment is about taking office, not about ballot access.

And the question before the court today isn't even about that, but as an appeal of a state court ruling the question is whether the state court acted properly.

Ballot access is a matter of state law that the 14th Amendment is silent on.

It's important to realize the question the Court is actually grappling with so as not to misinterpret its conclusion.
