I appeared before Justice Engoron a couple of times ten or fifteen years ago suffice to say I’m barely surprised -- if that much -- by his rulings in the case.

Anyway.

Frum’s position is kind of obscene. In a bare democracy, the former GE Bush speechwriter and something of a professional never-Trumper is blatantly putting politics before rule of law. Now, if he wanted to say the rule of law is far less important than politics, well, maybe as a practical matter. But the defendant here is running for POTUS even after having tried to fraudulently and illegally reverse the 2020 election. If keeping fPOTUS off the ballot by rule of law results in violence, I expect that even given law enforcement’s love fPOTUS there would be enough personnel to deal with the lawbreaking.

Besides offensive, Frum’s position is also just wrong.

As for any actions by secretaries of state to keep fPOTUS off the ballot there would be no reason to expect same not to be fast tracked so that ballot printing deadlines could be met.

So, good luck to any and every SS being a 14th amendment action.

Full disclosure: I support every effort to drive fPOTUS yet crazier. That it would involve the rule of law (see above) or delay of same (highly doubtful any would be finally resolved before the election), all the same.

As for the MaL case, y’all know you love the idea the primary defendant testifying.

Thank you for noting Billy Barr smear role in the Hunter Biden saga. I often wondered if the DEA’s (under Barr) raid of HB’s doctor’s office in Newburyport, where cellphones and computers were seized, was be part of the smear.
