Comment on How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him?

  The laws for who goes on the ballot are set by the individual states.

  I suppose the Federal Election Committee could deny his federal application, or the Attorney General of the U.S. could sue the FEC to force an injunction against his filing under the 14th? It’s not clear.

  In any case, regardless of how it got there, it would end up in court and be decided by the Supreme Court, which is ultra conservative right now.

    Bla bla bla.

    It’s not unambiguous. You either follow the Constitution or you are a traitor to it.

      I’m literally describing to you how that process works. It doesn’t matter by what avenue it happens, it’ll absolutely end up in front of the supreme Court, and then they’ll get to decide to agree with whatever decision was come to or reverse it.

        Unless they have a reason to lock him up to protect their own interests, the Supreme Court is probably not going to do shit. That’s WHY Trump picked them, as an “insurance measure”, and unfortunately it seems to be working.

  This answer doesn’t address the question. Did you comment on the wrong post or are you just generally always this confused?
