Unpopular opinion, I agree. Trump should already be in prison for his many crimes, but that doesn't mean letting states decide individually whether he should be on the ballot (as a free man for some fuckin' reason) is a good idea.

Also, I enjoyed this quite a lot:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ... asked Trump’s lawyer, Jonathan Mitchell, whether he would concede that his client had engaged in insurrection.

Mitchell pushed back, saying, “President Trump did not engage in any act that can be plausibly characterized as insurrection.”

An insurrection, he added, “needs to be an organized, concerted effort to overthrow the government of the United States through violence.”

Jackson appeared incredulous at the narrow definition of the term.

“So your point is that a chaotic effort to overthrow the government is not an insurrection?” she asked.
