Nikki Haley continues to embarrass herself in trying to preserve the media-bestowed - *cough-cough* - "momentum" by pandering to tRumpy-minded voters whilst courting the "responsible" GOP right-wing. A transparent phony running for a distant second-place finish amongst a field of rank losers...feh!
Every decision made via the courts is going to set precedent. Allowing Trump to stay on the ballot which the Supreme Court might decide, might push Trump away from justice and further into authoritarianism. What I mean is we need to stop making exceptions for Trump and start disrespecting the Supreme Court who clearly has been political, essentially all decisions made since RBG died have been to continue to support capitalism, and religious conservativism and not the constitution nor the people who still believe in and want the republic.
For those unclear on the cause of the Civil War, here is Alexander Stephens, Vice President of the Confederate States of American, telling you in his speech of March 21, 1861, what the "cornerstone" of the new nation is (that's why it's called The Cornerstone Speech):
“The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the "rock upon which the old Union would split." He was right. What was conjecture with him, is now a realized fact. But whether he fully comprehended the great truth upon which that rock stood and stands, may be doubted. The prevailing ideas entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution, were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with, but the general opinion of the men of that day was that, somehow or other in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away. This idea, though not incorporated in the constitution, was the prevailing idea at that time. The constitution, it is true, secured every essential guarantee to the institution while it should last, and hence no argument can be justly urged against the constitutional guarantees thus secured, because of the common sentiment of the day. Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when the "storm came and the wind blew."
“Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. This truth has been slow in the process of its development, like all other truths in the various departments of science. It has been so even amongst us. Many who hear me, perhaps, can recollect well, that this truth was not generally admitted, even within their day. The errors of the past generation still clung to many as late as twenty years ago. Those at the North, who still cling to these errors, with a zeal above knowledge, we justly denominate fanatics. All fanaticism springs from an aberration of the mind from a defect in reasoning. It is a species of insanity. One of the most striking characteristics of insanity, in many instances, is forming correct conclusions from fancied or erroneous premises; so with the anti-slavery fanatics. Their conclusions are right if their premises were. They assume that the negro is equal, and hence conclude that he is entitled to equal privileges and rights with the white man. If their premises were correct, their conclusions would be logical and just but their premise being wrong, their whole argument fails. I recollect once of having heard a gentleman from one of the northern States, of great power and ability, announce in the House of Representatives, with imposing effect, that we of the South would be compelled, ultimately, to yield upon this subject of slavery, that it was as impossible to war successfully against a principle in politics, as it was in physics or mechanics. That the principle would ultimately prevail. That we, in maintaining slavery as it exists with us, were warring against a principle, a principle founded in nature, the principle of the equality of men. The reply I made to him was, that upon his own grounds, we should, ultimately, succeed, and that he and his associates, in this crusade against our institutions, would ultimately fail. The truth announced, that it was as impossible to war successfully against a principle in politics as it was in physics and mechanics, I admitted; but told him that it was he, and those acting with him, who were warring against a principle. They were attempting to make things equal which the Creator had made unequal.”
And if that is insufficient an education, consider the fact that EVERY SINGLE ONE of the eleven Declarations of Secession names the threat of the federal government to the maintenance of chattel slavery in that state as the Number One Reason for secession.
Even someone stupid enough to pass the IQ test low enough to qualify for membership in today's "Republican Party" should be able to understand these words. Stephens is even a fellow South Carolinian, so if Haley had been there, she'd have been able to understand his mushmouthed bullshit without need of a translator.

Jack Smith overstepping? No, no, no. Setting the stage. Lining up the ducks. Trump wants to pull Roy Epps into
his mess as the supposed FBI
guy inciting people to riot on
J6 and any other dead rabbit
Trump will try to throw into
the jury's lap. Truth vs Lies
MM is what it boils down to.
Nikki Haley - It would be interesting to have her parents history and reasons
for immigrating to the U.S.
And just spit balling here, but
if immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country, how
far back is that going to go,
before it's supposedly clean
enough to pass muster in Trump's new regime? In Vichy
France, back when Hitler
invaded, they were checking
birth certificates. Will they
run DNA on us?
