But "charged"? Come on. That's clearly trying to obfuscate that it's a private lawsuit.

What's obvious is that my assessment is probably correct. The lawsuit will fail because the "actual point being made" is not a legal point but a political one. And certainly not a criminal point.

But we're discussing your disagreement with my assessment that "charge" is willfully dishonest.

Just... wow.

It's a civil case.

A civil case is a private, non-criminal lawsuit, usually involving private property rights, including respecting rights stated under the Constitution or under federal or state law.

Which is also why it's doomed to fail.

He was not.

The use of the word "charged" here is willfully dishonest.

Best holodeck malfunction ever.

I could easily see swing states that have red legislatures just removing the Dem candidate from the ballot with very flimsy justification

They're going to do that anyway. There's no point in playing the appeasement game.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. State control over federal elections has always been fundamental to US federalism.

The procedures are set by state elections laws.

Nonsense. Disqualifying Trump for his oath-breaking is not materially different to disqualifying a 34 year old or a foreign national.
