    I feel like this 100% should have been upheld. The reason being that trump engaged in an insurrection, which, according to the 14th amendment, means he cannot run for public office. We have laws for a reason, right? republicans can try to kick (D)s off the ballot, but I would hope they have a damn good reason for it. If not, that is when our court system is supposed to step in.

      The court didn’t answer the question of whether or not Trump engaged in insurrection. The question is whether or not a state can kick candidates off the ballet under section 3 of the 14th amendment and the court found that they could not.
