Yeah, but I think there would be other remedies available if the Merrick Garland is willing to pursue them. I don't think a felony conviction would prevent him from running in 2024. But if he's still in jail, that would limit his rally attendance. Plus, I wouldn't mind seeing him run again, anyway. If we elect him a 2nd time, after 4 years of opportunity to fix the problems his presidency made clear, maybe our society deserves to die.
