WNU Editor: I am confident that the Supreme Court will overturn efforts by Democrats to use the law and regulations to ban the former President.

Here is an easy prediction. In the even that the Supreme does choose to keep the ban (or some version) in place, the "chaos" and precedent that it will spawn will damage the entire US electoral process for decades.
