I was right. Elie Mystal has a great thread that I'll post afterwards.
He will be on the ballot

Here we go. Trump v. Anderson live tweet thread:

The lawyer arguing the case on Trump's behalf is former Texas Solicitor General Jonathan Mitchell. You might remember Mitchell as "the asshole who invented Texas' SB8, #abortion bounty hunter law."
So, you know, this is actually hell
The Supreme Court Sure Picked a Curious Moment to Embrace Humility
It is only going to be a little bit galling when the Supreme Court, in a unanimous or near-unanimous vote, determines in a few weeks that states may not disqualify insurrectionist presidents from the ballot, because doing so would unleash mayhem—or, as Donald Trump’s lawyer promises, “chaos and bedlam”—that the nation cannot afford.

@AskTheDevil I think it's an excuse. Pundits have been saying the court already had their minds made up.
@Jezibaba you’d think being appointed by an #Asswaffle would be embarrassing or something.
@peeppeepcircus only during confirmation.
I mean, seriously — if we plebes n’ libs n’ ethically-stricken consistency (hobgoblin of little minds, durr hurr) fanatics had wanted a different outcome…well, we should’ve paid for our own justices, geez!
It’s not like the FedSoc/Citizens United/Koch shysters on the court would’ve ruled differently had a Democrat president incited an insurrection, c’mon now.
Oh wait
@InUnfunky we are not playing the same game on the same field and fuck all the rules for one team anytime they have fingers pointed at them. Paying for our own justices. I wonder if Thomas ever thought he'd be found out? 40 years, man. Four decades.

@Jezibaba While the rest of us know that if you do things that way, it sends a message that all you have to do is threaten bedlam. Which means we'll rapidly reach a state of constantly exactly that.
