I'm no Trump supporter, but I find this decision very undemocratic. Seven judges have the power to prevent someone from being voted for by the people?
Wait until you find out how party committees and the electoral college work. And that nine unelected judges with lifetime positions can just decide what parts of the Constitution are valid, and what aren't, whenever they like.
A case needs to be brought and make its way through the lower courts first

No I'm aware, those are obviously antidemocratic as well. This is just further evidence that America is not a democracy, is what I'm basically saying.

Same thing happened in Germany after WWII, where Nazis tried to run for office and the law was changed to forbid them from holding political office.
Virtually all democracies have provision for disqualifying people who are anti-democratic.

I know politics is on the list of things not to post, but I think this qualifies for the exceptions to that.
It doesn't. This is entirely political, unrelated to tech and can be found on mainstream news.

Well, perhaps people seeking leadership positions should distance themselves from situations where they may violate laws which cause the effect of losing the ability to be a candidate. Or, as the kids say these days, fuck around and find out.

I Don't Like Trump - didn't vote for him. AND even though I am politically conservative for the most part, I don't care if Trump is on the ballot or not. He is an agent of Chaos.
But if you are paying attention at all, you realize that Jan 6th was nothing more than a idiotic attempt at a protest. Insurrection? gimme a break smh ...what a laughable characterization. The liberal power brokers know it's a lie, they just sit in their high towers and laugh at the sheeple that buy what they sell.
The political lawfare being waged against Trump is eventually going to get turned back around and used against liberals. When that happens, libs will throw tantrums and scream like babies, yet i will feel no sorrow for their plight. Only sadness and shame that my country has fallen so far.
And if you're wondering which way i lean? So far, RFK Jr is the only viable option I'll consider and it's unlikely we'll see anything better this time around.
