Re: “Trump appeals Maine ruling barring him from poll below the Structure’s rebel clause” [Jan. 2, Nation]:
Concerning the disqualification (or not) of former President Donald Trump from ballots in Colorado, Michigan, Maine, and many others.: The pundits are all saying that the U.S. Supreme Court docket must settle the problem for all states. However the true conservative place is to let the states determine.
This can be a states’ rights concern. All of the state constitutions are totally different. Let the person selections stand. The Supreme Court docket could be very a lot in favor of states’ rights: Witness the Dobbs choice to let every state determine the abortion concern. Equally, if the poll case(s) attain the courtroom, they need to defer to the states, in true conservative style.
