        That’s just a polite way of saying “you can fuck me, Don, but don’t crush my smokes”.

            Supposedly, the Secretary of State in Maine has unilateral power to remove a candidate from a ballot.

                        Colorado Supreme Court justices are appointed (and subject to electoral approval).

                        Maine's SoS is appointed.

                                  Stupid question, but why is a criminal conviction required? It just says the person shall not have engaged in insurrection, right? I haven't paid attention to the details here since I presume SCOTUS will overturn this in about two months.

                                  There doesn’t need to be a charge or a conviction.

                                  Keep in mind this was written with the confederacy in mind. With very few exceptions, the US neither convicted nor charged the 1,000,000 or so former confederate soldiers yet this amendment applied to all of them and everyone knew it at the time.

                                  Having said that, I’m not a fan of these moves and consider the law to be unworkably vague without enabling legislation from congress. Especially the second part - if ‘insurrection’ is vague, surely ‘providing aid or comfort’ to an enemy is worse.

                                  I’m pretty sure the court will shut this down. I hope they do.

                                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                      Yes.

                                        Again I think it’s unworkable and shouldn’t be used. But it was never envisioned to require a conviction or a charge. It was US policy (generally) not to charge confederate veterans, yet everyone knew this was written to exclude them from office, including those veterans themselves.

                                          From a strictly scholarly point of discussion, wouldn’t the 14th have disqualified the first 10 Presidents or so?
