> In urging the justices to intervene in the case, the Colorado Republican Party had asked them to act before the looming Super Tuesday primaries this week, which include Colorado.
Weird that they can act quickly now but not when Jack Smith asked them.
I know it’s not going to happen but we all have our dreams. Wouldn’t it be great if the SCOTUS ruled that he isn’t eligible to hold office and because of that there was no rush on the immunity issue but they will then say that the president is not immune and therefore he can’t run for office AND he can’t claim immunity to get out of his criminal trials.
I know… fairy tale time but one can have hope.
Can he be charged for a crime: I sleep.
Can he run for President: REAL SHIT.
Interesting. They usually make anti-American rulings on Fridays.
We already know how they’re going to rule and CO should completely ignore their ruling. If TX can ignore the SC, every state can.
the fact there is a 0% chance they disqualify him, despite that being the obvious choice here, shows how utterly corrupt they are.
>on former President Donald J. Trump’s eligibility for Colorado’s primary ballot.
Is the eligibility to hold office different then the eligibility to be on the ballot?
I mean it’s actually about his ability to be on the ballot, right?
Spoiler alert: SCOTUS will punt on the question of holding office and they will declare that Trump should stay on the ballot and let the voters choose. Then if and when he wins they’ll do it all over again and do a Bush v. Gore probably 6-3 non-binding decision that there’s nothing to be done.
I hope these upper-level managers in the Judicial Department of the Heritage Foundation understand that, like Henry Kissinger, they’ll spend the rest of their lives in ignominy with an asterisk next to their names in the history books.
How insane would it be if they actually said he can’t run for office though lol
Pretty open and shut so I assume they came to a fast conclusion. Can’t say something is unconstitutional if it’s literally in the constitution.
But i’m sure they found a way to screw this up too.
As a Colorado resident who has zero faith in them doing the right thing:
Let them enforce it.
All nine of them are going to say that nobody has standing to accuse Trump of being an Insurrectionist, even though **Everyone** has standing.
They have no choice but to grant him immunity. Trump guarantees both 2 or three new, young uber conservative Supreme Court justices, to extend their hold for many more years, and the ability of the Federalist Society to start Project 2025. Neither happens under another Biden term, and this is probably their last chance to take over like this.
We need to be prepared and ready for this. We can’t let it set us back, and we need to use the anger to fuel a blue wave in November like never seen before.
Of course, they will announce a Trump favourable decision on the day before Super Tuesday…nothing but a bunch of Republican hacks…
Gee, I wonder if the Robert’s court will rule against Trump? Could go either way. Pins and needles! /s
People dont get your hopes up, This court will only help Stinky. I know we live to have heroes we hope are gonna defeat him 4 us. In the end, it will come down to votes
It’s fine. I mean, who hasn’t engaged, occasionally, in a little insurrection.
Anyway, I’m sure he’s learned his lesson.
/s
I hate how powerless we are when it comes to this damn court. They’re unelected, appointed for life, and we can’t recall them or anything.
Tomorrows going to be interesting, the week ahead even crazier.
Democracy is under attack and to no one’s surprise, it is because of conservatives
There’s no way they are going to keep him off the ballot. They’re largely in his pocket.
Imagine that? They can work quickly in HIS favor but not the American public interest.
Monday will either be the best of times or the worst of times. Fingers crossed for democracy.
So if Presidents have ongoing immunity after holding office, then why did Nixon need a pardon? Seems like there’s already precedence from the Whitewater case.
It would be crazy to rule Trump ineligible. They just need to delay past the election. Run interference for that orange hemroid while being able to claim impartiality.
Spoiler: they will keep trump on the ballot. Sorry to burst your bubble.
We all know the answer. Why bother watching and waiting?
There’s just no way in a million years they’re going to let states keep him off the ballot, the justification will be pretty interesting though, the constitution gives a LOT of latitude to the states for running elections.
So I’m just going to say it
He is going to be allowed to run.
To think otherwise is to just have a small hope.
I listened to the oral arguments. They’re gonna let him run for sure.
Well… we had a good 250 year run. Was fun while it lasted
If they rule against the 14th amendment I don’t want to ever hear them refer to themselves as constitutionalists ever again. The hypocrisy of the republicans knows no bounds.
