I don't get the "why does one state get to decide" question from #SCOTUS Justice #Kagan. Like... literally every #State has the authority to exclude any candidate for #President. Ask every #ThirdParty candidate who is only listed on a handful of state ballots, or only one state. Oh, but it's a major party candidate so suddenly it's not allowed for state legislatures to run their elections?

Article 2 Section 1
...
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress...

It doesn't say "unless it's one of the two major parties, those candidates get to be on the ballot regardless of the state legislature's direction."

#Colorado went through the process determined by its legislature to see if #Trump should be allowed on the primary ballot and the answer was no. That's it. The end.

At the end of the day, Kagan just isn't very bright.

She was a bad nomination to the Court, and I wish they had appointed someone better.
