My Medium TOS example was a fictional example.

Since you're getting so picky, I'll point out that you wrote, and I quote you from 8-Jan-24, "The law is very rarely 'really friggin' easy'." You did NOT write, "constitutional law is rarely 'really friggin' easy'." So my stop light example is also completely relevant just like this case is.

Trump has NOT been charged or convicted of insurrection. Jack White chose NOT to charge Trump with insurrection for 6 Jan 2021. Therefore barring Trump from running based on the premise that he was involved in an insurrection on 6 Jan 2021 is illegal and unconstitutional.

I'm right both ethically and legally. It is going to the Supreme Court because the US is as divided as a nation as it was in the pre-Civil War days, and we're talking about an ex-president being potentially barred from running for office by his political rivals.

It is a really simple case. If Trump was in office and Republicans were blocking Hillary Clinton (who I want even less than Trump, and that is saying something) from running, I'd be making exactly the same argument from the other side.
