Does anyone seriously think this will pass Supreme Court scrutiny? I expect an 8-1 decision that will stop this silliness. As much as you hate Trump, surely you can think forward enough to see what an awful precedent would be set which would come back to bite you later?

No, the precedent is needed. When you lead an insurrection against the USA, you shouldn't be allowed to run for ANY office.
