These judges are playing a long game that people like us are too ignorant to see.
Example; The judge’s ruling in Colorado that kept him on the ballot? Found him factually guilty of insurrection.
No matter the verdict, this was going up the legal food chain. The next court has no choice but to accept that he’s an insurrectionist. Feel me? That is now an established fact that an appellate court cannot disregard or change.
So what? Everyone has known that Trump took part in an insurrection for years and it hasn’t made a bit of difference. Unless you have a specific case in mind where that legal distinction is likely to make a difference then you’re just debating the semantics of “nothing happened to him”.
We already know history will not look favorably on Trump. Solidifying the words future historians will use to describe him doesn’t make his election to a second term any less likely.

Fucking brilliant legal maneuvering.
