On or Off?


 It's primary season in Illinois.  People are already voting in anticipation of election day on March 19.  Donald Trump made it onto the ballot.  States Rights be damned, the Supreme Court made sure of that.

I chuckle imagining if Trump had been stuck at the local level.  Political operatives and lawyers have made whole careers out of keeping people on and off the ballot here.  It's a time honored sport in which those operatives play on either side.

Aside from keeping us from some statewide fun, I believe the Supremes were very shortsighted.  If Trump regains the Presidency and the Court then makes a ruling he doesn't like, do you think he will "obey the law"?  The Supreme Court has no enforcement power.  They could be in for a big "No thank you."

  1. I liked how Joe Biden chastised the Supreme Court last evening. They deserved it! Camille
