Scott Perry and Sec 3, 14th Amendement

[Deminpenn]

Saw the other day that SCOTUS ruled against Cuoy Griffin and that Colorado could indeed enforce Sec 3 of the 14th Amendment and kick candidates off state ballots under it.

Scott Perry was up to his ears in helping Trump illegally stay in office. PA Democrats have a chance to kick Perry off the ballot now. They should be in court tomorrow filing suit to remove him. Let Perry decide to go to trial where the plaintiffs would be able to get all his phone calls and texts via discovery.

1. Nope. Cuoy Griffin was running for state office; Perry is running for reelection to Federal office

and that is where this idiot SCOTUS made the distinction despite it making absolutely ZERO sense and near-zero legal/constitutional rationale.

2. I thought the SCOTUS

Said shitbag couldn't be eliminated from one state since he would still be on the ballot in another state. Perry is only running in PA, so if they rule he can't be on because he sucks, they are the authority over the ballot for their state...

3. Think this is correct

President is on the ballot in every state. SCOTUS ruled that states can't have a mishmash of rules regarding kicking a presidential candidate off the ballot once a candidate has met all the state ballot access requirements.

Congressional candidates run only in one state and fall under the ballot access rules of that specific state.
