In a Friday notice, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case challenging a Colorado democrat court decision to block President Trump from the GOP ballot under the auspices of a 14th amendment claim. [SCOTUS Announcement pdf HERE]
The high court has scheduled oral arguments for February 8, 2024, and set forth a schedule as below for the case review.
President Trump will appear on the Colorado ballot (and also Maine) while the Supreme Court takes up the case. Both the Colorado effort (court) and the Maine decree (Secretary of State) were stayed pending appeal. In essence, and reflected in both their actions, in both states the decisionmakers expect to lose.
WASHINGTON DC – Plunging into a political minefield, the Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case challenging Donald Trump’s eligibility to run for president.
The court agreed Friday to consider whether states have the power to disqualify Trump from the ballot due to his attempts to upend the 2020 election and his role in stoking the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (MORE)
[…] Ballots for some overseas and military voters registered in Colorado will have already been mailed out by the time oral arguments happen on Feb. 8, and four days later, ballots are scheduled to be sent to most Colorado voters.
Colorado is a predominately vote-by-mail state, meaning most voters will have their ballots in hand — and potentially cast them — well before the March 5 primary.
Meanwhile, giving indications of exactly who is promoting and supporting this overall dynamic, LAWFARE is currently running an organizational chart to show which states are trying to follow a similar path [SEE HERE]. It is not accidental that Andrew Weissman is promoting the effort [SEE HERE].
In the biggest of big pictures, the Lawfare group who are assembled inside every effort to remove Trump are the exact same group of political conspirators. These are the facilitators for a weaponized justice system from inside and outside government.
Always remember, the Lawfare crew have a self-preservation interest in the elimination of their original 2016 target, Donald Trump.
There was breaking news yesterday with the filing of an amici curiae brief by the Public Interest Legal Foundation arguing that the provisions of the 14th Amendment that are being used to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot are no longer in effect. They were repealed by Congress in the late 19th Century.

good post thanks for the info
Thank you for posting that. I saw Alan Dershowitz in a video in which he stated that Colorado and Maine misread Article 3. It was meant for Congress to disqualify Congressional candidates for office, not for state governments to do so. A President can potentially be disqualified from running again if during an impeachment trial the Senate votes to disqualify the President, otherwise this law cannot be used to disqualify Presidential candidates.
I guess Dershowitz didn’t know what the PILF found, which was that this law was repealed.
I wonder if those on the left feel that cheating on the scale of 2020 is not going to be able to win the election for them, so they are trying to throw everything they can at Trump to make him appear “unelectable.” But he only appears “unelectable” to people with the degenerative brain disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. The more they push for these efforts, the more they red pill Americans on a daily basis.
F these Crap Weasels. Thanks for the update.
The first line of that article, “plunging into a political minefield”…..
Since when is following the Constitution a “political minefield”?
These people!
Note the loaded language:
“The court agreed Friday to consider whether states have the power to disqualify Trump from the ballot due to his attempts to upend the 2020 election and his role in stoking the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.”
“… stoking …”
“… riot …”
“… attempts to upend …”
Sadly many Americans will just soak up the propaganda and their minds are thus prejudiced toward the leftist party line.
Mr. Trump has not been convicted of any of those allegations.
Wonder if he can sue those making those claims for slander and libel?
And I wonder if the voters of Colorado and Maine can sue those states for attempting to infringe on their civil right to vote for their chosen candidate?
Leaving the Fate of the Republic in the hands of just 9 lawyers with 3 in dirty back robes, and 3 more in soiled robes is Demoncrazy at it’s best, but now is the last gasp of Liberty.
All Feral GrubMint “Institutions” Only Want to Preserve Themselves. Preserving their ProgreSSive NWO “Status Quo” that is Always Sliding into the Collectivist Muck. of Puppet WH Resident JoBama:

Note the loaded propaganda language:
“ The court agreed Friday to consider whether states have the power to disqualify Trump from the ballot due to his attempts to upend the 2020 election and his role in stoking the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. ”
The “… 2020 election …” was a rigged election and, therefore, a non-election seating an illegitimate man as POTUS.
There, I fixed it …
If the Chiefs were taken out of the football playoffs because they haven’t changed their team’s name, the American people would be in an uproar.
I guess that is more important
Next time some lib feels compelled to foul the air with a stupid utterance, shut ’em up with this:
Ballots are the epitome of choice and freedom–the voter is FREE to CHOOSE. Only a commie would take that away!
CONFEDERATE VETERANS served in Congress! 63 in the Senate alone! Edward Douglass White was a Confederate veteran who became Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court! Who are they kidding with this garbage???
I absolutely do not trust Roberts or Kavanaugh (a deep-stater going way back to the Clinton years.) I’m not entirely sanguine about the court agreeing to hear this case. It should be a 7-2 smackdown (Sotomayor & that other token are hopelessly reliable leftists.) “Should be” doesn’t mean “will be.” With a single decision, the Supreme Court could rid respectable Washington of the scourge of Donald J Trump and those awful red-hatted rednecks from flyover country.
For a crew that carelessly dismissed Texas’ legitimate 2020 election lawsuit, you know the possibility of “return to normalcy” has to be tempting.
Boy they really are afraid of what will happen if Trump gets back in the White House.
Let’s pray they are right. I want revenge!

I suspect the Leftists have created this bogus case in order to use it to mobilize their supporters to pack the Supreme Court when the SCOTUS smacks it down.
