You're viewing a single thread.
Outcome: 5 to 4 max, they won't.
I can't wait to see how they dance around some of the plainest language in the entire fucking Constitution.
While Trump has not been charged with insurrection, Castro is pointing to Trump's role in the January 6 Capitol riot.
Because he hasn't been charged, the outcome will probably be 7 to 2
Given the extremely barebones wording of the law and the lack of any conviction, I will be surprised if any resulting opinion were anything but unanimous or per curiam without dissent.
I agree. And I honestly believe the opinion will indicate that Trump hasn't been charged or convicted of a crime. Things may change, yet at the most he could be charged with insurrection prior to the court hearing the case. Regardless, I guarantee the court would grant Trump Due Process.
