Great timely info on
STATE SUPREME COURTS
#statecourts #legal

"Every state and territory has its own supreme court and every supreme court has tremendous power over legal cases and public policy within its borders—but the resemblances end there.

"No two courts are exactly the same. Each has its rules and idiosyncrasies."

Thoughts on upcoming #SCOTUS case re #Trump #disqualification from #POTUS

1. SCOTUS can’t render Sec.3 of #14thAmendment a dead letter by limiting it to the #CivilWar. The plain text applies to any #insurrection.

2. Whether one aided an insurrection is a fact-based ruling by the #trial court, which requires great #deference by SCOTUS.

3. SCOTUS will likely set a #legalstandard to DQ a person from office. I predict a high standard, which could require #statecourts to revisit their rulings.
