This was expected, and I don't have any issue with it, despite the fact that Colorado's claim is absolutely correct.
As I said earlier, what I can't stand is that the four MAGA judges decided to take this ridiculous immunity case rather than rejecting it, and wait until the end of April to talk about their opinions. The sole purpose is to give Trump to a get out of jail free card, and to postpone Jan 6 Federal indictment case, which was originally scheduled this month.
"This was expected, and I don't have any issue with it, despite the fact that Colorado's claim is absolutely correct."
I agree. No need to bitch about this ruling. The Supreme Court wasn't going to kill the candidacy of one of the major party's frontrunners despite Colorado being on solid legal footing.
As for legal scholars, you should follow Lawrence Tribe, the preeminent Constitutional scholar who taught John Roberts and Elena Kagan Constitutional law at Harvard. Trump should have been disqualified from running for the presidency.
Comrade Trump needs to be defeated at the polls, not in the courts. The total and unequivocal rejection of his [everything about him] bullshit needs to come directly from a majority of the people. His diminishing MAGA base can hold on to whatever hope they have for him but at the end of the day, Comrade Trump will fade into senior citizen care for his dementia and no longer be a threat to our country and the constitution. No Nobel Peace Prize, no Mount Rushmore, no statues; but he will be heavily memorialized in the history books - and I don't think the historians are going to be very kind to him.
But then, of course, if Comrade Trump loses the 2024 election then it could ONLY be because the election was "rigged" and his victory was "stolen" - yet again! This is going to become the mode of attack for every losing narcistic candidate (regardless of their party) in every democratically run election, and we are going to be dealing with these kinds of nut-cases for years to come.
Not one of the protesters on Jan 6 had a weapon. No insurrection. If Tump had intended an insurrection, the protesters would be armed, and the country would now be referred to as the Trump States of America.
Oath Keepers jury hears about massive weapon cache on Jan. 6
Yes, January 6 Was a Heavily Armed Insurrection
The House committee’s final report and court documents further reveal that many Trump extremists brought guns.
Yes, Capitol Rioters Were Armed. Here Are The Weapons Prosecutors Say They Used
NPR and Mother Jones...please. Those are highly respected sources?
The Jan 6 House report was a sham, as no evidence was allowed to be entered by the defense. NOT DUE PROCESS.
I know it's useless to discuss anything with anyone who is convinced that their side can't do no wrong.
Those media sources were repeating the evidence presented in court. Of course, you geniuses will claim that evidence was presented by crooked prosecutors.
On January 6, it was reported that some of the crowd that was trying to see Trump speak could not get through the metal detectors because they had weapons, where Trump said (paraphrasing): "Let them in. They are my people. They are not here to hurt me."
I believe that was Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony to the January 6 Commission.
If you guys feel so strongly that there were only tourists attacking the Capitol on January 6, then you should be fine having a trial on the subject prior to the November election.
rather take the word of dershowitz or turley any day as preeminent scholars of the constitution over what turns out to be political justices like kagan and roberts
"The Supreme Court wasn't going to kill the candidacy of one of the major party's frontrunners despite Colorado being on solid legal footing."
What are you talking about? Trump has not been convicted of insurrection therefore Colorado has absolutely no legal grounds to remove him. their legal argument is essentially we dont like him so remove him.
"But then, of course, if Comrade Trump loses the 2024 election then it could ONLY be because the election was "rigged" and his victory was "stolen" - yet again! This is going to become the mode of attack for every losing narcistic candidate (regardless of their party) in every democratically run election, and we are going to be dealing with these kinds of nut-cases for years to come."
what? every side has accused the other side of cheating and stealing the election my entire life lol nothing new there, the only difference was 2020 wasn't just cheating in a few key counties, it was massive nationwide voter fraud.
"Oath Keepers jury hears about massive weapon cache on Jan. 6"
did they? or was it a van with a few rifles and some ammo several miles away?
"Yes, Capitol Rioters Were Armed. Here Are The Weapons Prosecutors Say They Us"
now your just being tricky with language, some of them had "arms" like pocket knives and brass knuckles, no one had any guns
"On January 6, it was reported that some of the crowd that was trying to see Trump speak could not get through the metal detectors because they had weapons, where Trump said (paraphrasing): "Let them in. They are my people. They are not here to hurt me."
I believe that was Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony to the January 6 Commission."
The January 6 Commission was a press conference, nothing legally binding about it, no one was under oath, there was no "testimony" they just lied and made shit up to make manipulatable people get upset. and it worked. The one thing the democrats are really good at is producing a false narrative to manipulate the voters.
"If you guys feel so strongly that there were only tourists attacking the Capitol on January 6, then you should be fine having a trial on the subject prior to the November election."
Yes I wish that would happen, discovery cuts both ways tho and I'm sure the Capitol police and Pelosi do not want that to happen at all costs.
Trump is going to win Bigly in November and I cant wait to see you all cry about it, maybe even claim Trump stole the election haha which was the narrative in 2016, or can you not remember that far back haha
Marrisa_G Those case you posted on the last blog were all decided with legal process, such as lack of standing, Not decided by any evidence or investigation. There has not been any investigations into the election allowed into the courts. There have been 3rd party investigations that found tons of fraud lol but no judge will see it
Yeah, that's what happens when the "evidence" is not real evidence but merely accusations. The judges won't allow it in because it just obscures the facts and can inappropriately influence the jury.
Under certain circumstances, a judge may allow "hearsay" into evidence but that is rare.
Funny that many here are more worried about Trump being allowed on the ballot. But does not appear worried about the current path of the country as a whole. There are 10 million new charity cases waiting for a hand out from Bidens new world order. Where's the money coming from to house, feed, and care for them coming from? The government? Lol. No! Its coming out of our pockets.
"Yeah, that's what happens when the "evidence" is not real evidence but merely accusations. The judges won't allow it in because it just obscures the facts and can inappropriately influence the jury.

Wow that's impressive that a judge could deem evidence not real with out ever seeing the evidence lol
There has been no Court cases that allowed evidence of voter fraud to be presented.. its almost like there is a concerted effort to suppress the truth
if there was no voter fraud than full investigations should be a no brainer but there was voter fraud hence the enormous effort to convince you there wasn't. Im pretty sure you are all double digit IQs lmao
I believe it is part of the discovery process and pre-trial conferences. Both sides present all of the "evidence" that they have to support their case; they actually share it with each other. Either side can make a motion to not allow certain evidence from the other side. The judge rules on it and that is it! Jury never gets to see it. However, it does qualify as the evidence being presented to the court even if the jury does not get to see it - it just wasn't good enough for prime time. That process is necessary for the orderly operation of the courts. Without it, someone could introduce the King James Bible as evidence then read it to the jury cover to cover!
And if all of this stuff is government shenanigans and Jan6 attendees are all innocent, then why are Jan6 attendees being routinely convicted BY A JURY OF THEIR PEERS - NOT UNILATERALLY BY THE GOVERNMENT! As a matter of fact, I don't recall even one Jan6 attendee being found not guilty by their peers! And only the ones that could be identified as committing a crime were charged - way more people were there and never charged because there was no proof that they committed a crime. Key word here is "proof." Not hearsay, speculation, or hope, which seems to be the foundation of most election interference claims.
Please remember this; when it comes to the judicial system, state or federal, it does not matter what is right or what is wrong. It does not matter what is true or what is untrue. And for the most part, it doesn't even matter if it is moral or immoral. The ONLY thing that matters is what you can prove! and it needs to be presented in an orderly fashion (court rules).
After every single challenge to election interference was lost in the courts the only possible explanation for the failures, if there truly is evidence to support your claim, is that Comrade Trump has shitty lawyers (which isn't hard to believe at this point). So Comrade Trump actually has 2 avenues for appeal: 1) on the merits of the case, and 2) ineffective assistance of counsel (IAC), although I'm not sure if you can claim IAC in a civil trial.
BTW - the cases I listed in the previous blog did not include the myriad of ones that never got past the initial stages because they were so ridiculous and got thrown out before they could get any traction.
This was a foregone conclusion, why are we even discussing a slam dunk.
Thank God Rash Cream is OK with it or we'd have to reverse SCOTUS.
Hate to break it to the Prog idiots but legal interpretation is hard, yo!
Actually, I'd include the far right idiots in that comment, to be fair.
Evabody throwing around section 3 of the 14th, as if they actually know what each word means.
Defining what they meant by "insurrection" alone could take months.
Recall Clinton's words "it depends on the meaning of the word 'is'".
He was not bullshitting and there's an element of truth in there.
Nobody wants to hear that, though.
It's either hang 'em high or sainthood, no gray areas for this pack of rabid wolves.
Hypocrisy of this far-right extremists court is that they are conveniently originalists, having gutted both federal protection for abortion and voting rights so that each state can make decision separately, and they were totally UNCONCERNED about the chaos both decisions created, but all of a sudden on this Colorado case, they are no longer originalists, and concerned about the chaos it may create.
Unanimous decision. That means the liberals, the moderates, the leftists, and the conservatives on the court think your opinion is full of shit. Perhaps you should look in the mirror.
Insurrectionists' biggest crime was their attempt to suppress our legal votes, first by trying to seize the voting machines, then via fake electors, and by physical forces at the end.
Thanks to MAGA and their violent insurrectionists, and Current Supreme court's far right extremists for gutting the core of 1964 Voting Rights Act.
By making all the voting related issues up to the decisions by each state legislatures, voting suppression became normalized. Voters were intimidated and terrorized at the ballot boxes, poll workers were equally threatened for their lives if the results were not the linking of far-right extremists.
That is the reality we have to face now.
When Democrats take over the House in 2024, they will subpoena Clarence Thomas for his unethical behaviors for sure.
If Yellowjackets (YellowB2) is indeed a lawyer, I am positive that he must be affiliated with the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank for bunch of lawyers located in Claremont California, a home of insurrectionists and revolutionists, such as John Eastman (he was a clerk for Clarence Thomas by the way).
One of its Larry P. Arnn became 12th Hillsdale College, and they are doing their scheme to privatize all of our public schools based on Christianity.
All these far-rights extremists are connected with each other. Having Trump became a convenient factor for them, because of his anarchistic violent impulses to destroy the establishment.
^ Are you a real person?
Or, a creation of Gemini chatbot?
Kudos for doubling down on crazy with every post lol
Rash Cream - Exponential Wokerati Extraordinaire
That is a mix of english/latin/french to be exact, so I believe you should have written as
exponentialis wokerati extraordinariis (All Latin, I may be wrong)
But joking aside, Wokeism is not a bad word for me, because that means at least I am aware of what is happening around the world, whereas MAGA is an amalgam of dreamers of their golden past (whatever that means), and their refusal to walk straight ahead to make their new way, or they decision of sleepwalking surrounded by lies and disinformation.
wokeism also, to me, refers to the fact that I am not delusional about the oppression and aggression and fear-mongering by privileged elite that holds back social progress and cultural advancement.
The anti-“woke” are using the same arguments as the Luddites of generations before.
Fear of the Other, an unspoken foreign enemy to rally around.
Fear of a culture leaving their ways of the world behind
Fear of being forgotten
Fear of being remembered as a bad joke and as social primitives
Fear of “no longer holding the steering wheel” of the direction of the community and nation
Fear of being called out for malice, disguised as “this is the way it used to be and should be.”
Fear of not being able to adapt.
Anytime SCOTUS issues a 9-0 decision it is a clear message that the issue is so far out in left field that it should have never been in the court system to begin with. Their decision in this case was clearly justified. Allowing a single citizen to put forth a lawsuit intended to disqualify a candidate, especially one that is unquestionably leading his party in the polls, is just too bizarre to contemplate. The potential for future abuse is just too horrendous to contemplate. SCOTUS did the right thing.
Doesn't mean Comrade Trump was right in any way, it just means that the judiciary system is working like it is suppose to in this case.
Sooooo, if Biden is controlling the government "witch hunt" in a concerted effort to crush Comrade Trump then why did he allow this 9-0 decision to happen.
Could it possibly mean that Biden is NOT dictating that the DOJ go after Comrade Trump, that all the claims that Biden is doing so are just a deflection?
To date, no one has pointed to any singular action that would support the notion that Biden is directing an effort have the DOJ go after Comrade Trump. It is pure speculation and to be honest, just a bunch of whining. "Want some whine with that deflection?"
“ The art of betrayal has been perfected by the former Trump administration. Look at how many have been convicted and gone to jail.
He has betrayed the American people.”
'Just devastating': U.S. searching for stack of intelligence on Russia missing under Trump
In the waning days of the Trump administration, thousands of pages of intelligence on Russia's interference in the 2016 election, last seen in the hands of Trump administration officials, went missing and have yet to be found, according to reports. Peter Strzok, former FBI counter-intelligence agent, talks with Alex Wagner about the extraordinary sensitivity of the materials and the damage U.S. intelligence would suffer if the contents of those intelligence reports is compromised.
CIA admits to losing dozens of informants around the world: NYT
Of course you're going to criticize the source of this information, but regardless of the source, this is the reason traitorous scum like Trump should not be allowed anywhere near classified information.
None of you could argue that Trump's storage of Top Secret classified information in a ballroom and bathroom open to the public was not an enormous mistake. Trump, famous for his lack of ethics, would sell out our country in a second for his own personal gain. The damage this country has suffered through Trump is immeasurable.
Trump is the biggest traitor that this country has ever had.
Russian interference on 2016 election and Trump and Kremlin/Putin friendship was already proven in 2020 by Senate Intelligence Committee;
"The nearly 1,000-page report outlines the 'breathtaking level of contacts between Trump officials and Russian government operatives that is a very real counterintelligence threat to our elections,' Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the committee's top Democrat, said in a statement."
Still Rs are bending their knees to Trump at this point is how degraded and corrupted Rs became.
