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.
WASHINGTON STATE IS TRYING TO WRITE NEW LEGISLATION TO KICK A DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT (TRUMP) OFF THE BALLOT

That’d also be Unconstitutional, but also a little late in the process for them to be doing that.
*Correction “Communist State of Washington.”
Cascadia Subduction Zone event would cleanse two states of their Communists.
Apologies to Treepers living in those areas.
I don’t send the asteroids, I just pray for them!
LOL, right now the asteroids would be putting us out of our misery!
God doesn’t hear prayers of murderers, Mack
You think that’s funny? Isn’t it rather, BECAUSE OF just such “better than” hate and hypocrisy, that God IS SENDING JUDGMENT upon this fallen people? While you’re asking for the death of those you disagree with and dislike for their politics; there’s Another already writing down your charges, that are coming up due.
And not to pick on “poor Mack,” it is clearly a pattern followed by many on both sides of the aisle.
Aren’t you a barrel of joy?
I sense far more animus in your comment than you imagined in mine.
Worth noting that Colorado was the first state they got statewide mail in ballots passed. The entire state immediately turned democrat. A reamarkable coincedence no doubt. I also bring no joy, but no sanctimony either.
thats exactly right I was from Colorado and not only all mail in ballots BUT Dominion counting machines. After the machines it was the first time in history of the state that Colorado voted straight party line tickets and that of course was 2016, THE FIRST TIME IN STATE HISTORY…..meaning that voters historically voted individuals not party line until Dominion and mail in ballots….
I agree. Sprinkled with a bit of hypocrisy.
The wicked and the one who loves violence [God’s] soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain coals; fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. —Psalm 11:5-
God has a sense of humor, or some, wink, wink, wouldn’t be here. Maybe taking a day off would be good for those some.
Who knows what God will do anyway? It is a measured guess.
How do you think we got rid of McCain, Teddy Kennedy, Arafat? Through prayer!
Whoa .. who says praying for, even those who are obviously enemies, is to ask for their demise? Where is this “while you’re asking for the death of those you disagree with and the dislike of their politics”?
“But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”
Matthew 5:44
There’s no way around it. For many who aren’t in active positions and capacity in national or global missions, praying for government officials is one of those missions.
God hears all prayer. He decides.
“While you’re asking for the death of those you disagree with and dislike for their politics”
Back the truck up Mack. It is not a matter of disagreement and dislike. It’s a matter of self-defense. It is they who lust for imposing their fanaticism upon everyone else. George Orwell spoke of the future they envision; “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot, stamping on a human face… forever”
Hyperbole? Only the willfully blind and ignorant pretend otherwise. They’re cutting off children’s genitals and breasts. Well on their way to surpassing Mao’s 100 million murdered. While claiming it to be a ‘baby’ when the pregnancy is welcome but when unwelcome no more meaningful than a hangnail.
As a pretentious holier than though, you should know that God does hear the prayers of murderers. If He didn’t, how could they ever repent? King David, and countless others of the Old Testament. Joshua and the twelve tribes were commanded by this same God to utterly destroy those they found in the Promised Land; men, women, children, animals, and to tear down their religious paraphernalia.
Secondly, Maquis did not suggest murder. He suggested a natural even to rid us of the communists thriving on the ‘Left Coast’.
Let’s see, how many times did God use natural events to punish or destroy those He was angry with?
Correct, wack the communist states right along the Cascade range. We can always hope for that one big earthquake that makes the Cascade range full Pacific water front
eff AH
While I largely kid, being subject to these Satan aligned souls is distressing, and their penchant for overtaking the beautiful places and turning them into moral cesspools and staging grounds for ever expanding tyranny with endless antagonism to God, whilst perched on the most precarious bits of semi-solid soil on the continent would seem to be begging for Heaven to put them in their place, and an irresistible temptation to jocularity.
I just notice the incongruity of their confidence in their position on this planet as they mock and seek to supplant its creator; we all live and breath at God’s will.
And, to be honest, while a bit east of that area in a place only mildly politically stupid, if God dropping an asteroid on my city to save this nation and the denizens of this world from the misery antagonists have in store I would happily stand at ground zero and welcome it, take one for the team if you will.
The fella above reducing my original comment to “hate” is playing a tattered and much overused Leftist canard.
I can only imagine what he’s thought of my commentary “hate.” I don’t like anything! 😉
If you have the ear of The Almighty, would you put in a request for the 3rd coast. I’m thinking something modern-day surgical–no need to part Lake Michigan. Just take the Bleepers; leave the Treepers.
We in the fantasy land of Reichsstatthalter Whitmer could use a cleansing. It would be as welcome and refreshing as a spring shower. If my number comes up in such a blessed event, so be it.
Wait! I LIVE there because can’t afford a move for another year and a half. Don’t wish ill on a fellow Treeper for the misfortune of accidentally living in the most beautiful and fascist state.
Besides, getting all of us together in one place just makes for a convenient target! Resist where you ARE, and live your best life in defiance – no matter where. And avoid the volcanos!
Ther are a lot of PNW people on this site why haven’t we made a difference??????
Jay Inslee is a pigs rectum. Call your rep.
I so pray for a left-aiming asteroid.
can we get a few to hit in DC? Cleanse the swamp and make it uninhabitable
Have you considered when the “big one” comes continental US might sink into the oceans leaving only the west coast above water?
Makes you wanna go HMMMM?
Washington is absolutely as communist state as there is. The state GOP are such eunuchs, they’re likely leading the leftist Trump attacks. The state GOP leadership is nothing short of pathetic
That Democrat party Iowa caucus Primary voting App disaster was a huge scam.
I don’t think he even knows that he was installed. He thinks he won… hahahahahahahahaha
“He thinks…”???
I am a born and raised Washingtonian and this makes me want to puke.
I will be making my voice loud and clear to my elected representative to stomp this proposed legislation to the curb.
I’ve only lived here for 8 years but I would go back to Kentucky in a heartbeat if I could.
Here’s the idiot who sponsored this :

Other than Satanism, what tribe does she belong to?
Some hope:
Thank you, Patience, that is an effort to support.
This effort is 100% Obama. Remember, before becoming POTUS this effeminate chump unsealed sealed divorce files and played every dirty trick in the book to launch his political career.
If SCOTUS is not unanimous, it’s not a rule of law court.
It won’t be unanimous.
And the fact that they are trying to get Justice Thomas to recuse from the case leads me to believe it will be disgustingly close…..if not worse.
Unless they are trying that move only for optics.
6-3?
Either way they will have center stage for their dog and pony show!!
We already know that these 9 justices are not all “rule of law” justices. Several are severely ideologically Leftwing biased, while a few others are Establishment/Deep State controlled. I only trust Alito and Thomas. IMHO the other 7 are unreliable, the Roe reversal notwithstanding.
Spot on.
Yup. …and how many are compromised by Caribbean Capers?
I suspect the Roe Reversal, right as it was, was done for the wrong reason, to weaponize the selfish harpies of the Left for electorial purposes, and that the BlightBringer set that Snookery in motion through his contact inside Robert’s office.
Absolutely.
Hindsight tells us that’s a very real possibility. Seeing all the instantaneous coordinated reactions by the Left. Of course the illegal leak from SCOTUS helped the Left mobilize their “Rent A Riot” paid mobs.
Reversing Roe was a net loss for Rs in 2022 elections.
Yup
Your ‘yup’ was deafening and I can’t believe I heard it; much less up votes for ridiculing the end of Roe for a loss of a few votes in a rigged election……….YUP.
But it was not a net loss for the lives of the unborn. I can live with that.
Not a loss for the unborn!
SCOTUS should have stopped it in it’s tracks, after all it’s where SCOTUS started the slaughter – at their table ——->73 MILLION ‘safe’ muR ders a year laid right on their table as they wear their robes. AND pocket the money on the backs of dead babies.
You worry about losing a few votes in a rigged election?? Sorry, that’s unbelievable and sad.
God Help US
How can we win back the pro-aborts to “our” side? Oh, I know, let’s keep transgender surgery safe and legal too!
A pure Legal Realist perspective (h/t to a poster on Insty) is that the Court knows that this is an unpopular fringe effort that is going to be found laughable by the vast majority of the country, so to preserve the institutional status of the judiciary, the Supremes will slap it down hard. The question is whether KBJ really is that stupid that she doesn’t get it.
Agreed. Because this ruling can go both ways. Any state could kick any candidate off a ballot for just suggesting they committed a crime that never happened or they were never charged for committing much less found guilty.
Would be a shame if Texas decided the democrat candidate wasn’t able to be on the ballot…
9-0 and Trump will use it as a political hammer.
it’s not a rule of law court.
Looks like they won the HurryUp battle.
The house Dems are pushing hard for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself
they sent a letter, strongly worded of course..Lets hope the court ignores
them…
Thomas is his own man. he has a dog in this fight. He will not be forced to back down.
goldman (and others) are desperate to make links to a previous recusal that Thomas made. It has absolutely ZERO BEARING on this case…This case is solely the issue related to article 14 constitutional interpretation. period. it is about as pure of a clear cut case for decisions and reasoned guidance about the constitution and limits thereof.
for anyone confused about the prior recusal of thomas wrt a J6 case related hearing (eastman), you will have a better understanding of the reasons for the recusal by examining the connections alleged to have been made between thomas and eastman or indirectly attributed. You can read some of that here:
https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2023/10/02/clarence-thomas-recusal-supreme-court
tldr: Justice Thomas regardless of any allegation of improper ties or associations with any person alleged, indicted, charged or suspected of wrongdoing will be ruling IN THIS CASE in a very specific and narrow scope that has zero bearing on the events of j6 and even presidential immunity. Justice Thomas has no conflicts in that matter and thus would never need to step aside to preserve some fiction that he is compromised by conspiracy theories manufactured by the corruptors.
Justice Thomas recused a prior decision role to avoid controversy involving his wife who attended the President Trump rally AND the fact that there was some allegation (unproven) that he or his associates had communicated in some way with John Eastman. It was the John Eastman case that he recused. Simple as that.
This case, has nothing to do with J6 or eastman or whether his wife had attended peacefully lawfully at a Trump Rally. This case is specific to a constitutional interpretation about limits of protections from prosecution that the Constitution organizes. I can think of no better more informed and genuinely talented justice to help form that ruling that Justice Thomas. He isn’t going to play favorites here. he will be dependable to apply stare decisis and the contextualist realities of what events and what causes were on the minds and the actions of congress when it adopted clause 3 of the 14th. Clearly, this has never been applied to Presidents and there was never any intention that it would every apply to Presidents.
noting: separately, not in this case, but likely in the lower court of appeals, President Trumps legal will file for a ruling on the matter outlined in the meese brief. And again, I suspect we will see that case ratchet up to SCOTUS. And again the “cry” from the corruptors will be some demand that Thomas recuse. You will see a pattern of this silliness. They know they are losing. it’s palpable.
God Bless America
And God, please, grant long life to Justice Thomas who faced down vile racists and their slanderous accusations. Who has served You, Lord, and stood on the parapets of his oath to uphold our Constitution where too many have not. He is your servant, Father. Watch over him, we beseech thee, keeping him safe from the machinations of evil doers. Amen.
For those interested, this an interview Justice Thomas gave to his wife, Ginni long ago.
It is an absolute delight… a conversation really between two people devoted to one another.
A gem to watch.
God bless them both.
https://dailycaller.com/2022/03/19/ginni-clarence-thomas-supreme-court/
Thank you for sharing this wonderful interview. I really enjoyed it.
What a pleasure watching this interview between beautiful people. Thank you so much for posting it. I have always loved and respected Justice Thomas, but now I feel I know why he is so loved by many. May God Bless them both!
Amen!
Amen Betsy
R.D.
I never understood why Thomas wasn’t made Chief Justice when Bush had the opportunity to do so. I’m sure there are procedural and political reasons for not doing so. Too bad.
Bush is a major actor in the corruption and the intended doom of the nation.
He knew what he was doing, aborted nomination of Harriet Myers notwithstanding.
yes, one of the main corrupt attorneys providing legal guidance to jack smith crew is a known bushman attorney…funded and fueled by the anti-maga bush cabal. And by the way, was the national security advisor to …wait for it.
Mike Pence (when he was VP!)
you can read more about that here:
Sixteen former government officials and constitutional experts, including former Associate Counsel to President George W. Bush, Brad Berenson, and Olivia Troye, former Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Special Advisor to Mike Pence, filed a brief arguing Trump’s position “cannot be squared with the Constitution’s text or history.”
https://dailycaller.com/2024/01/02/appeals-court-jack-smith-trump/
😲
If not for Thomas I’d have no faith in this government at all. We must thank NWO Bush for that one.
Amen, Betsy. Justice Thomas, like our President Trump, has the courage and the wisdom to do what is lawful and Constitutional. Please, Lord, watch over these two Lions of good for our beloved USA.
also this, and I apologize for not making this in the original post.
john eastman clerked for justice thomas when eastman was just beginning his law profession.
to make the point: so did laura ingraham! So if there was some case against laura and it wound up to scotus, it would be normal for any justice to recuse of that person had worked for them!
this case, clause 3, article 14 SOLELY…has nothing to do with law clerks, nothing to do with j6, nothing to do with presidential immunity. thus there is no reason and no prior recusal from thomas to suggest he would even need to consider doing so.
further notes: decisions to recuse are made by individual justices. The chief Justice NOR any other justices have the power to dictate terms of recusals to one another. In this sense, each are sovereign and hold equal and separate powers over their own domain. Appeals can be made, but it is entirely up to the judge to make the final determination. This is the standard practice and has been this way consistently throughout every single session of court justices in US history. Only congress may remove a supreme court justice. An impeachment process…requiring more house to vote and approve articles and the senate to hold a trial and to convict.
in 1804, Associate Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase was impeached by the House of Representatives.
THE SENATE ACQUITTED HIM. He served until his death.
Most constitutional scholars consider his acquittal to be a “unofficial” precedent underscoring the importance of the independence of the supreme court.
Re your note: The DC Circuit has asked the parties to address the Meese brief. I believe oral arguments are next week.
Yes Sir Indeed.
for anyone interested in the reference, you can read the court order:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24251806-dc-circuit-amicus-briefs?responsive=1&title=1
notes: BOTH PARTIES will be expected to BE READY FOR ORAL BRIEFS ON 9 January 2024.
the DC Circuit Court Judges hearing this case will be:
Henderson
Childs
Pan
Henderson appointed by HW bush, Childs and Pan appointed by biden
interpretation: In the letter order, the DC Court of Appeals mentions “discrete issues”. This implies they are at least willing to consider the meese amicus argument that jack smith does not have proper authority, jurisdiction/standing.
Primarily, this oral briefing was ordered to consider the arguments about this:
presidential immunity (DOJ contends that this Team Trump appeal is too early in process. The prosecution argues that appeals may only be made AFTER trial that results in conviction. Obviously, this is a ridiculous argument given that presidential immunity exists precisely TO ELIMINATE PROSECUTION OF PRESIDENTS. which again, has never happened…EVER! and for good reason!)
here is a very easy and straightforward nutshell of what argument to expect on the 9th:
The Special Prosecutor Statute expired in 1999…the DOJ has no statutory authority to appoint anyone without Congressional Legislation. Furthermore if we ignore all of that ONLY the President can make such an Appointment and that Appointment MUST be confirmed by the Senate none of which happened here.
Finally he failed to properly file his Oath of Office paperwork within the time frame required by law he did not do so until AFTER he had charged Trump.
NOTHING HE HAS DONE IS LEGAL
and regarding presidential immunity…it’s firmly established both in constitutional law and in practice with no outliers EVER. Furthermore, it was fortified when scotus ruled in two cases that are recent enough and relevant enough to have significance in the arguments and decisions
In Nixon v. Fitzgerald (1982), the Supreme Court held that President Nixon, who by then was a former President of the United States, was “entitled to absolute immunity …….. In support of its decision, the Court reasoned presidential immunity was a function of “the President’s unique office, rooted in the constitutional tradition of the separation of powers and supported by our history.”
Nixon v. Administrator (1977), the Supreme Court instructed that presidents retain some unspecified degree of executive privilege even after they are out of office
resigned in lieu of facing a fairly certain impeachment that had already established sufficient evidence to move to articles. The point here is scotus decisions even in a case where a president has been alleged to have committed misconduct (we can’t really call it legally a crime…he was never charged with one), even in that situation, the presidential immunity stands. And that even after leaving office, executive privileges continue. And more to the point, no president has ever been charged or had this immunity from prosecution challenged. This is all new territory. All of it.
There is no evidence to support that President Trump committed the crimes of incitement to insurrection, or aiding and/or providing comfort to insurrectionists. No one has been charged with those crimes.
Summary: in grand flunking fashion, the DOJ has failed to not only provide an lawfully authorized prosecutor to initiate this case, but it has failed to create a smidgeon of credibility that the crimes they allege could have even happened!
But as I am reminded, these cases were never designed by the corruptors to succeed. I mean there is the slight chance in their blind drunken stupor they had imagined that possible, but when they sobered up, this was all about just an attempt to influence the election and spoil the party.
it won’t work
WE KNOW
God Bless America
God Bless America
You do good work, Brother! 👊
Excellent commentary – excellent.
Maybe I missed this covered elsewhere?
The Amnesty Act of 1872 took away the political provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment, which had barred former Confederates from holding office. It pardoned secessionists for their participation in the Civil War. Ulysses S. Grant signed the act on May 22, 1872.
The Insurrectionist portion of the 14th Amendment was nullified- this is the basis of the challenge, no?
Such is my own understanding.
They are riding not only the wrong direction but doing so on a dead horse.
An Act cannot nulify a portion of the Constitution.
If the 14th did not apply to Zebulon Vance, how can it apply to Donald Trump?
That really shouldn’t be your question.
Here is the last line of the 14th. “But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
That act, passed by two thirds of each house, was explicitly allowed by the Constitution and does not override it.
it is quite obvious that the Act applied specifically to a time frame that encompassed Zebulon Vance activities. That is how it applied to him.
The Act covered a specific time frame but the Amendment did not. That is what you are saying?
“The Act removed voting restrictions and office-holding disqualification against most of the secessionists who rebelled in the American Civil War, except for “senators and Representatives of the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses and officers in the judicial, military, and naval service of the United States, heads of Departments, and foreign ministers of the United States.”[1]”
It does not appear to apply to the executive.
That portion of the Constitution had an express provision for Congress to eliminate the effect of that section of the Amendment.
Congress “nullified” that portion of the Amendment in a fashion entirely consistent with and dictated by that very Amendment.
The Fourteenth was always about settling Civil War issues, limiting certain participants and enfranchising former slaves, nothing more, the entire thing ought no longer be considered in effect so many generations after all its provisions have been completed and can no longer be addressed.
It is being abused now, in every fashion it is used in modern times, it is being abused to serve purposes far from those that drove it to be ratified.
Much, if not all, of the Amendment should have been accomplished through legislative action entirely, encumbering the Constitution with excess verbiage and powers to address temporary concerns has eternal consequences.
An Act cannot nullify a portion of the Constitution. Period.
I am not loose with my wording. The Amendment specifically allows such a vote. So it is not nullification of the Amendment, but “it” working as it should.
And the following is the current holding in regards to the act.
Having cleared the procedural underbrush, we arrive at the merits of the district court’s reading of the 1872 Amnesty Act. Reviewing the court’s interpretation de novo, see, e.g., Fairfax v. CBS Corp., 2 F.4th 286, 296 (4th Cir. 2021), we conclude that it erred in construing the Act as a sweeping removal of all future Fourteenth Amendment disabilities.

So those who conspired to perpetrate the steal, and help to conceal it, and set up and persecute the Stop the Steal protesters are subject to it if tried and found guilty. Why that would be most everybody in those hallowed halls, and maybe those Pee Wee Hermans on the bench?
Precisely why there should never be talk of an Article V Convention.
Our beloved Constitution has been toyed with enough!
it is just part of the entire legal issue.
on the table is the matter of whether a crime has been committed. insurrection…the answer is no…no one has been charged with that crime. logic follows that President Trump cannot possibly be charged with incitement of insurrection (or the other charge, aiding and/or giving comfort to insurrectionists).
while the amnesty act did in fact dispense with the political representation aspect of the 14th, because obviously this was controversial – how can you possibly null the very people who had been and continued to represent and champion for their constituency? (and further, the entire theory of “insurrection” is contentious given our nations birth history….to claim the southern confederate officers were insurrectionist would be to claim the early americans were insurrectionists…it really depends on what observation point you end up making the claim. Certainly the british crown considered ANYONE defying orders to be treasonous and insurrection mongrels. But to those fighting for independence, sovereignty , freedom, liberty…insurrection is the wrong term completely. Patriot, freedom fighter are more precise. anyway. I get winded. The point is that there is a reason why insurrection has never been applied since. No crime charged naming it! It’s simply too legally contradictory to the very foundations of our history. We are THE PEOPLE who fought and won our independence from a ruling king. To even suggest this was insurrection or that those who fought against the union were also insurrectionists is ridiculous. And of course, about everyone recognizes this..hence even the DOJ could not put that charge on J6 people. not one!
other issues on the table: no PRESIDENT has ever been denied running for office again based on allegations of crimes. So we have no precedence. we are not simply talking about officers of a defeated militia, but THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Consider if lincoln was not murdered and the south made a claim in court alleging some crime to remove him from running again? see the issue?
other issues on the table:
the DOJ is attempting to redefine the legal description of what “insurrection” is. The claim is very similar to how the radicals claimed “collusion”. It just silly made up dopey junk that failed attorneys who don’t have a case will do…so they slam the table with gritty suggestive words. They will say…by saying out loud his anger about voting irregularities and fraud, he incited people to go to the capitol and commit crimes…okay…lets just pretend he did and that is true…lets pretend for a moment that did actually happen. well show me the charges of insurrection to a single person on that day? crickets…and back to reality…no one and I mean no one can possible imagine even in a drunken stupor that about 2,000 people surrounding the capitol and having clashes with police and rolling around on the ground, wearing viking helmets, and swinging flagpoles were going to some how overthrow the US government and commit THE CRIME of insurrection. It would be like me driving on the autobahn at 80 miles an hour and getting a ticket and going to court and having the prosecutor claim I was attempting to set the landspeed record. I’m driving a damned truck…on seasonal tires and going 80. You just can’t get there from here (hat tip to some northern meme). it is just proposterous.
compare this to real confederate officers, seasoned war fighters, well equipped, armed, and most importantly with formal written declarations of war and order to carry them out against the enemy.
the two worlds are not even close..you just can’t get there from here.
and it gets even more ridiculous: President Trump is running for office. Given the case is shallow but very controversial it would be best for the DOJ to just shut the eff down and let the people decide with votes.
and THAT is the part of the amnesty act that is so important to understand from history. that even AFTER article 14 was declared, it would becomes obvious to any reasonable and moral person, that ultimately the best ways to avoid conflict IS TO LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE!
this is a point the corruptors refuse to accept and clearly they have no concept and understanding of the kind of risks to a civil war that THEY ALONE will be provoking by stealing this election and removing our champion from the race.
they do not understand history but they will learn it the hard way if this continues. TO avoid that, WE THE PEOPLE must have moral cause superior to these usurpers and we must establish our power to get out ahead of these heathens and anticipate their moves and corner them.
so far, I would say, we are doing far better than I had considered possible. truly. Sometimes you get this idea that no one cares and no one is willing to fight back.
the steps up people like meese and lawson…and sez: hold my beer!
God Bless America
Thanks RTG for all the background..
Since these atheists intend to prevent any candidate of moral character to ever make it near the WH, how do we cut them off? If they get to construe limitless customization of #14, then there must be a direct and forceful answer from us.
I love it when you get on a roll. Your wisdom is so inspiring! Thank you, regitiger!
Thank you. These usurpers you refer to, they are the projectionists.
Don’t see that as a valid argument. The amnesty was specific to a single act of insurrection. It did not invalidate the insurrection clause from future use.
It will fail on both the states right to act as well as the simple fact that DJT hasn’t even been charged with the crime, much less convicted.
If SCOTUS approves of this corrupted lawfare they should be impeached! A lot more is known about Jan6 now than when the “select committee” was censoring information—picking and choosing what we the people were privey to.
It’s funny that Ginsburg never reclused herself from any of the Trump cases before the Supreme Court even after he publicly spoke out attacking him! I’m sure Ginsburg felt there were a separate set rules for her.
Thanks, Tiger!
Goldman,….is there an endless quantity of these evil bastards?
he is only annoying at this point. His fellow corruptors will eventually eat him alive on the safari. rumor has it, he doesn’t like sharing his ill-gotten gains. So they will trounce him. Poetic justice for the goldman.
Clarence Thomas v. Joe Biden, confirmation hearings. They have a history. And Thomas has no love for Biden and the treatment he received then.

An intellectual giant versus a despicable grifting gnat.
Pretty sure Thomas’ love of the Law and the Constitution and the Nation outweigh his animus to that ass.
I would not be offended if he had a special interest in this case and any other involving biden. I think that is a fairly reasonable expectation.
After all, he is a man who believes in justice. Devoted his entire life to securing it.
I’ll not be upset if Thomas sharpens the knives to a fine edge more than he would normally. it would be fitting.
As opposed to the DC judges who’s animus to Trump outweighs their love of the Law and the Constitution and the Nation in their J6 rulings. Or the SCOTUS beyond Thomas and Alito in their refusal to hear 2020 election challenges by Paxton and other Trump allies. Playing it straight in a crooked deck oblivious to the marked cards isn’t smart, either.
Look, the law is with Trump. As it is with the J6r’s. But without more allies on the courts who love the Constitution and nation to join Thomas and Alito – and none of Trump’s appointees have demonstrated they do – we’re cooked in the courts.
Only civil disobedience and parallel systems with a willingness and capability to defend from encroachments will allow our nation’s foundational values to prevail. Unfortunately, Trump picked shitty Federalist Society-backed judges, Mitch McConnell approved. Not lovers of Constitutional Law like Thomas and Alito. And Trump’s judges will be the ones selected to perform the judicial coup de grâce.
No white knights riding in. It’s on us.
Are you a white knight then?
That doesn’t sound very much so to me.
I make no such claim. Are you an ostrich?
If any state could make the case to keep Biden off the ballot it would be Texas, but, unfortunately, there evidently are no real Men in Texas to force the issue.
Joe Biden spoke today like a manure salesman with a mouthful of samples.
A very ‘flowery’ sentence.
Or at least an ‘aromatic’ one. <smiles>
Did they surpass their previous Satanic imagery?
WR Mr. Bites, he didn’t speak, he read.
Big difference.
Sundance, can you do a message on this latest Tucker interview? It is THE message of the hour. Sounding the call. Amazing up to the end. https://x.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1743405833667371329?s=20

Episode 60 is POWERFUL! Bret Weinstein is unusually articulate and states in very clear and unambiguous terms what the globalist cabal / WHO has been trying to achieve all along via mandates and coercion / control of media and censorship in social media. Plus, at Tucker’s request, he provides a prediction for the near future.
This interview is VERY informative – a MUST LISTEN!
It scared the hell out of me.
Me too
Indeed, GB.
Is anything being done to stop this signing away of our rights to WHO in May as Dr. Weinstein suggests is about take place?
Does anyone here in CTH see any members of Congress publicly complaining about this and coordinating a plan to block it from happening? I don’t. They keep us distracted with Ukraine, Hamas, persecution of President Trump, open borders and millions of illegal aliens, etc.
I think the coup d’etat regime in DC will try to sign onto the WHO scheme covertly and then try to instigate some huge black swan event so Biden can declare a national emergency. Then all bets are off.
It’s off topic but deserves it’s own link!!
Thank you for posting this.
Definitely a must see!
Thanks for posting this. It is jaw dropping.
USMC thank you for posting this never heard of him before but i wont forget him very good interview
R.D.
WOW! Simply WOW! It’s what SD has been saying but on a global basis.
Please SD, let’s hear your take on this.
Absolutely a must way j interview!
Good summary of covid fiasco and UN’s attempts to usurp sovereignty.
What it doesn’t mention:
Remdezivir was repurposed to make money and kill seniors. It had no effectiveness against covid.
Big pharma’s business plan is to injure people via their “vaccines”, then when their immune systems are severely compromised and they have developed diseases, sell them the cures at exorbitant prices, to make massive profits. Case in point cancers are up among the vaccinated. Cancer treatments, big bucks. A new word I learned this last year – turbo cancer, a result of the vaccines.
Now over 80 childhood vaccines by the age of 18. ADHD up. Autism up. Deaths and injuries from vaccines up. Fertility down. do we need these vaccines? The Amish are an excellent control group. They get NO VACCINES, childhood or otherwise.
Big pharma profits are also way up. They control the FDA, CDC, NIH. They control medical boards, universities, doctors. Our medical system has failed the nation. Its purpose is no longer to protect Americans. It is to make big pharma big profits.
Thank you for posting the link to Tucker’s latest episode. Amazing as you said. What I can say is that it has validated everything I’ve been feeling these last few years during this Covid debacle and the complete lawlessness that continues. I feel in my bones that this truly is a “Tree of Liberty needing to be fed with Blood” moment in our history and that is how this is going to end. I’m 55 years old and completely fed up. I will not kneel to this bs. I believe many of us will step up and take up the fight where and when the time comes. I’m tired of these demonic freaks. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
THAT as an amazing interview. Bret is not saying as much as he knows but alludes to all later on.
Watch to the very last word.
I think this Tucker interview is the most frightening I have ever heard. The implications are chilling.
The Supremes
Each state should ELECT a single supreme justice with the president nominating a 51st short term chief justice for their respective term. That’s my 3 cents
Each state legislature should appoint. Otherwise, I agree.
I failed to elaborate… yes, I completely agree.
We might start with them appointing Senators again . . .
That would be a better approach, considering a lot of states are ruled over by filthy, maniacal democrats.
Giving them the ability to appoint SC justices would be a disaster.
IF we HELD A REFERENDUM to REVOKE the 17th Amendment
and TURN SENATOR SELECTION BACK OVER To THE INDIVIDUAL STATES –
WE WOULDN’T BE HERE…
https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution
And that would also take a States Convention, state votes and Congress to pass also, just like Prohibition and its repeal.
2/3 congress OR a STATES CONVENTION which RUMOR HAS at 19 ( Requires 34 )
https://conventionofstates.com/states-that-have-passed-the-convention-of-states-article-v-application
Well, when you can get a States Convention to propose a new amendment, get 3/4 of the states to sign off and 2/3 if the entire Congress, then that can be done.
Corners can be difficult to work processes into.
We can get Constitutional Amendments effected without opening the Pandora’s Box that is a ConConCon.
The Communists have been striving to drive us to that supposed safety but it is simply an abattoir.
The moment desperate confused misled patriots accede to that solution our nation is ended, a new Communist Constitution will be effected, and they won’t have to have waged a war to do it.
You just approximated the original structure of the Senate with election by state legislatures
Exactly.
The States have been sidelined, by design and their own hands, from the governing process of the nation.
Now Senators are Dukes and Duchesses with their own DC fiefdom and zero accountability to their states.
State governments, no longer vital to selection of our nation’s Senators, are almost universally overlooked as all eyes are on Washington, and in that darkness, they have slowly murdered our Republic.
No. It sounds good but would have terrible results.
Look at what happened when the 17th Amendment took the appointment of Senatirs away from the state legislatures and made them direct elect.
The states sovereignty has been deprecated to an almost comic status. The state legislatures lost all power at the federal level. Senators focus now on getting reelected from a mass of millions of voters in each state. They no longer are the voice of the state but the voice of the majority of the people of that state. Which sounds very democratic …and is. But that is the problem. We are not a democracy. We are a union of states in a representative republic that was deliberately designed to keep real power in the hands of states and not the federal government. The 17th destroyed that balance of power between the states and the federal govt.
The election of SCOTUS judges would have an even worse effect. The SCOTUS is the parent that minds the children in the congress and the exec of what the rules are, not what they want them to be. Their selection is by far the most thorough vetting of any govt position ever created by man. It ensures long term stability and freedom from the madness of the mob.
Think about electing SCOTUS judges from blue states like CA or MA without the ability of the senate approval process to deter the election of radical woke judges bent on creating a socialist state with an all powerful federal government.
Think.
Indeed.
The Senate also played a significant role in the creation, empowerment, and preservation of the Intelligence Branch of Government, that superseding monstrosity that now controls the other branches with near impunity.
The repeal of the 17th belongs in Trumps Agenda 47 to do list, even if that one is not publicly revealed.
Think how elections are stolen in deep blue cities to thwart the will of the electorate in their own state, and then the effect that has on national elections. Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta… Voila! President O’Biden! Would we soon have Judge St.Louis, NYC, Chicago- No Judge Flyover.
SCOTUS is by far the last word on anything. They also have had HORRIBLE opinions. Congress can override them at any time if they have the numbers.
And since when do we have three ‘equal’ branches of government if the Executive is term-limited and no other branch is?
I believe that amendment was completely unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court would not hear President Trump and the election, however they can find time to keep him off the ballot.
That’s unknown.
What’s the draw in playing a prophet of doom?
I don’t understand the impulse to postulate worst case scenarios in all instances.
Expect the worst and hope for the least and you will never be disappointed and occasionally overjoyed.
It’s a form of self protection.
Prophets of Doom have their place, Maquis. We needed some before Pearl Harbor, and the Jews needed some in the ’30s. Trump himself needed them, and we needed them before the 16th, 17th, & 18 Amendments were passed.
There is a difference between a warning and a dooming.
There is a hidden purpose in assertions that rob others of hope and offer only darkness.
There is an arrogance in declaring one knows the future perfectly and saying what will be without leaving room for God to speak His own mind on the matter, it is unseemly and frankly irritating, and would be much less so if such commenters were less like drive by media with little doom nuggets that they don’t flesh out and reveal to others just how they see their vision is correct.
Prophet of Doom < Humble Observer < Prophet of God
Perhaps if the Judicial Branch had refused to back themselves into a corner with “no standing” arguments in 2020, their Branch of government would be fortified from such arguments.
There are 2 of 3 possible outcomes that are not favorable.
The Court siding with President Trump with no comment – a good outcome
The Court siding with President Trump with comment – the court would essentially define how to use the 14th Amendment in the majority brief. Not necessarily a good outcome. President Trump does not win the nomination until the vote at the Republican Convention. Then there are weeks after the convention for states to act on guidance in the majority decision in conjunction with the RNC to remove “Candidate” Trump.
The final really bad outcome is the Courts side with the States.
When a person wins before the court and the court comments … those comments state why the court made their decision and often time provide guidance as part of the precedent set by the case.
The 14th Amendment is going NO WHERE, it will still exist. The court is ruling on the Application of the 14th Amendment by the States and if States have the authority to act on the 14th Amendment.
This is going to be a landmark decision impacting the shape of our Federal Form of government as well as the 2024 Election. It would be hard to imagine any decision being made without a detailed majority decision opinion.
Your 3rd scenario has zero chance of happening. They know if they made a decision like that the country would be heading for civil war. Even Democrat-leaning legal beagles have put down this CO decision.
Your second scenario could actually be best for President Trump if they state that the provision in the 14th Amendment applied only to those involved in the Civil War that committed insurrection. This stops all attempts to use that same bogus argument in the future.
If they don’t take it that far, they can state that the President is elected and is not an officer. It is the President who appoints officers. That ends further use of this tactic.
And if they take the easy way out by just claiming that Trump was not accused of insurrection, let alone convicted of it, that would also stop all future lawsuits using this 14th Amendment.
The question is, which path do they take. I’m sure that it will be one of those, with several of the conservative justices offering concurring opinions taking into account some of those positions that maybe weren’t part of the main decision.
They have to resolve this as an issue of the 14th Amendment, not just whether the states have authority to act on it. Otherwise, Democrats will start marching into federal courts with the same arguments, even though they have lost cases in the federal courts..
JMO.

Is the insurrection part of the 14th Amendment in effect? Zebulon Vance was an insurrectionist of the Civil War, and held office. So how could it be applied to Trump, if it was not applied to Vance?
Vance never served in federal office after the war. He was appointed Senator by the NC legislature but was never seated by the Senate. After 2 years of trying to get the required 2/3 approval, he finally resigned the seat. It’s not a precedent favoring DJT.
They need to do all of the above to kill this in the cradle.
Majority will side with Trump, minority blah-blah will tell the devils how to mis-use 14A.
Herr Weissmann is moving up in the rankings of America’s Greatest Traitors.
He’s been a 5+ on The Carver Matrix for a long long time.
At what point does his being a special counsel and a political activist nd blurring the lines between the two become a conflict of interest and grounds to be sued for malicious prosecution?
He needs to be taught some humility.
And now the propaganda campaign will pivot to warning absentee/military voters “not to waste their vote” on somebody who just might be disqualified. As always the hoopla over anti-Trump allegations and smears is huge, but any eventual retraction will be practically invisible.
A unanimous decision by a divided court is probably the equivalent of being decided with prejudice.
big brain Ben!
here is one of my favorite (I think we had the same kind of parents and upbringing!)
“Tell the truth. If you tell the truth all the time you don’t have to worry three months down the line about what you said three months earlier. Truth is always the truth. You won’t have to complicate your life by trying to cover up.”
― Ben Carson, Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence

Let the record show that, in the several years leading up to the [First?] American Civil War, one of the first things that happened was that Presidential candidates were “kicked off the ballot” in various States.
And, “let the record also(!) show that” this ultimately resulted in the deaths of more American Soldiers(!) than have ever been lost in every other War we have ever(!) fought, before or since!”
The “Lawfare™” strategies have now forced the Supreme Court into timely action. But the Supreme Court precedents, over the past two hundred years, “are hardly new.”
This is actually not the first time in the History of our nation in which “a Prosecutor, somewhere,” armed with “a Grand Jury, somewhere,” has attempted to throw “the Executive Branch” in prison.
The same, original group, many of whom came into Govt. or advanced IN Govt. under R administrations, particularly under “W” (Mueller, Comey, Weismann) are caught in a trap of their own making, and its a kind of “groundhog day” never ending nightmare.
The original plot was a “just in case” Insurance policy for “in the unlikely event that DJT won”.
However, once instituted it involved a series of crimes initially, with a steady stream of more crimes to cover up the earlier crime, ad infinitum.
Hence, there is no statute of limitations for them, because they are forced to defensively keep committing NEW crimes, to prevent them from being exposed for the OLD ones…over and over again.
They have now committed so many crimes, all for the same end, that they are in conspiracy and RICO territory, where every act; every phone call, email, conversation, etc. is a seperate count, and they are all looking at multiple life sentences.
Hence, they have no choice but to keep going; they can not quit, even if they want to, and no doubt some do.
And if all those folks were installed under W or other R Administrations, then ‘they’ have been at their shenanigans since before Teh Lightbringer, right?
Which means this stuff started before O and Trump.
Also, IIRC, conspiracy and RICO have no statute of limitations as they are considered ongoing crimes – continuity as opposed to a singular overt act.
As I understand it, conspiracy has a statute of limitations but it resets every time another act is perpetrated either to perpetuate the conspiracy, or to cover it up, and they are shoveling furiously all the time trying to do both.
SCOTUS are gutless
Demonstrators marched by their homes..SMH… that has to stop..but it wont.. wait for it.
Wray’s on it, they’ll be fine.
Well, Antifa will be, the Justices and their families?
Prolly not as well insured against consequences.
Does Section 5 of the 14th amendment mean anything at all or did I miss something?
No, whether Section 3 is self-enforcing is one of the questions that is on the table.
So this isn’t clear to anybody, is that what you are saying? “The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article” And if it is clear, what is the “appropriate legislation”? Also, “Congress can by a two thirds vote, remove the “disability”. So logic would say that this is a Congressional issue ,does it not?
It’s not the law. It’s who will enforce the law.
Wasn’t it all moot in the first place? 🤷♂️
Therefore, to maintain the status quo pending any review by the U.S. Supreme
Court, we stay our ruling until January 4, 2024 (the day before the Secretary’s
deadline to certify the content of the presidential primary ballot). If review is
sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the
stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include
President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt
of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court.
Taking note of …
“… the Secretary’s deadline to certify the content of the presidential primary ballot …… and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot”
Umm … that is TODAY (January 5th, 2024).
I think the MAGA people are pursuing this is to tamp down the movement of other state to follow suit. Just imagine the shenanigans that the corrupt left could get up to over ‘confusion’ about whether Trump is on the ballot or not. “Sorry, we didn’t include Trump on the ballot because we made a mistake” kind of thing
Sundance made that observation from the get go.
We all got a good laugh out of it.
Soon, the Justices will laugh too.
…and now to cross reference the “lawfare group” with the Epstein docs released…
Yes, but I believe the Epstein “realease” is carefully designed to release nothing substantial, but fool the people into thinking they have seen all there is to see when this wave is over — leaving the real conspiracy of blackmail and unlawful interference with government and law covered up the the juicy “sex trafficking” as a decoy.
I fear that you are correct. We have to accept that this was a very well planned operation that probably exceeded the expectations of those who planned and implemented it. It is likely to continue to be effective until those apparently so willingly entrapped have left any position of power or influence they hold.
All we the peasants get will be a few bones, like Prince Andrew, to salivate over.
I was wrong. I opined that the Court would take the gutless path that resulted in the same outcome. I said that they would do nothing. The Colorado decision was stayed, meaning that Trump would appear on the ballot so long as an appeal was pending. Then, after Trump won the primary, the Court would dismiss the case as moot.
I think Maine’s action is forcing the Court, for the sake of judicial economy, to put an end to it all sooner, rather than later. There is no other reason they would take this case.
If the court sides with the marxists, you can expect 50 Ketanjis on the court. It will be interesting to see how Republicans will continue to function if 50% of the base sits at home.
I hope that when DJT becomes President on January 20, 2025, he takes the oath of office and says one word to the Lawfare group organizing these attacks on our system.
RICO-laaaaa
I think it would be a better outcome if We the People, using someone other than Trump, were to take them all down — as individuals and put as many in jail or prosecution by death — and take down or eliminate the organizations that have betrayed the constitution: FBI, CIA, DHS, DOJ, —
We need to pass laws and start a process allowing the removal, for the sake of national security, of ANYONE in a posotion where they could betray the constitution, who has been connected even loosely with the perpetrators of this conspiracy against the people of the constitution.
ALL of these cretin-devils are guilty of a conspiracy of ELECTION TAMPERING and SEDITION against one of our most sacred democratic processes. Exactly what they’re all accusing PDJT of.
So brilliant. Best add I have ever seen.
Excellent video—well choreographed—flashing images of “losers” for each Steven Tyler screech of “Dream On” and pics of the JFK assassination followed by a pic of CIA director Bush–talk about a subtle brick through the window.
This should be a 9-0 decision without dissenting opinions swatting down Colorado.
But I can’t help thinking about all those people who thought Sen. Robert Byrd would step up during the Clinton impeachment. Or placed their faith in Bart Stupak and his Blue Dog Democrats to stand up against Obamacare.
In my perfect world I will clean out the closet, sell my Pb and brass by the CWT, and let the Mrs. continue her Imelda Marcos shoe journey.
We’re faaaarrr from that!
I do have hope and prayers…
The SC has several opportunities to save our judicial system this year. Question is will they. By not acting on this crazy lawfare, they are making themselves irrelevant. They won’t matter when there’s no constitution to uphold. They will just be 9 Federal employees who do nothing.
In an unusual bit of optimism, I think SCOTUS will ultimately overturn these rulings/dictates.
The socialists will turn to their bag of tricks to suppress our enthusiasm and voter turnout until November, when they will attempt to rig the election.
It’s up to the state and local GOP machines (ugh!) to get involved NOW in monitoring how the election is conducted at their level, fixing or overturning the laws the socialists have passed to boost their chances, and then being ready to respond at a moment’s notice with unrelecting lawfare when the inevitable shenanigans begin.
It’s up to us to vote in such numbers that it creates a result that cannot be overcome.
I am buoyed by the fact that the socialists are struggling to identify their candidate. with ten months to go.
-1795-
Prohibition Against Holding Office: Section 3 of the 14th Amendment states that no person shall hold any office, civil or military, under the United States or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
We have all seen receipts showing Biden taking money from Communist China. The CCP is certainly an enemy of the United States.
So is this not providing “aid or comfort to the enemies” of the United States?
Let’s say President Trump wins in 2024.
What attorneys in the DOJ would take in or pursue the LAWFARE group?
I think ShipwreckedCrew/ Bill Shipley (?) should be added somewhere, and maybe Ron Coleman? (Coleman does work for Harmeet Dhillon.)
SWC has fought valiantly, by himself, to get reduced sentences for dozens of J6 defendants.
Mike Clark has been pretty steady, despite a momentary dust up with Sundance.
I hope a LOT of people hang (unlikely since we’re now a Country full of wimps) or end up in prison for the rest of their lives when DJT wins.
If their treason isn’t exposed and punished it will all happen again. They know what’s coming and it’s why they’re so desperate to eliminate him.
Let the Supreme Court allow states to kick Trump off ballots and watch the flag drop for civil war to begin.
We have elections so we don’t have to fight bloody fights for power in the streets.
Supremes will say, you can’t throw him off the ballot, he’s not been convicted of insurrection.
A week later, Jack Smith will get a 99.97783% Democrat DC jury to convict him for insurrection.
Do not place hope in elections or the Supreme Court. It’s going to take more. I don’t know what, but more.
It is looking more every day the United Sate are not United anymore.
thank “GOD” … mankind’s rule on this planet is so dam close to being over with … what a nightmare we have made of everything we get out sick , twisted hands on …
While there are plenty of legitimate comments about this unprecedented Lawfare, i.e., using the legal system as a weapon, I’d like to point out that the XIVth Amendment should be repealed.
The Roe v. Wade decision was manufactured through a penumbra of rights through their magic veil, emanating from the XIVth.
When it was originally discussed, one of the legislators specifically asked for clarification, “This won’t be used to reward the children of illegal entrants with American citizenship will it?” Of course not!
Also, it was only designed to target slaves who had been freed by the Civil War. Though another civil uprising may be in the offing, that time and that problem is long past.
Now the XIVth is being molded into a weapon it was never meant to be. It no longer serves any useful purpose.
Hence, it should never had been an Amendment to begin with, all its short term purposes could have been fulfilled via legislation and are all long past completed.
Absolutely, Repeal the 17th, and the 13th, 16th, 17th, and maybe 19th and I’m sure others are worthy of reconsideration as well.
Where you been, Bro?
Plug Fourth Branch of Government into the search bar and start digging.
The Derp State is real, and damned deep.
“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.” Politico
I’ve emboldened the key words in that foul lie. Neither questioning the reported election results nor stating the belief that fraud occurred is NOT ‘attempting to upend an election’. If it were so, many top democrats would be guilty of that charge in the 2004 and 2016 elections. Those democrats are on public record declaring those elections to be fraudulent. I know, it’s OK when they do it… Nor did Trump ‘stoke a riot’ on Jan 6th. There is video of him telling his listeners to protest peacefully. There is now plenty of evidence that covert government agents and capitol police fomented a riot among a minority of the protesters. It was a case of pure entrapment. These are the facts. Any Supreme Court Justice that votes in support of banning Trump from State ballots for a ‘crime’ for which he’s never been tried and convicted is engaged in treason because they are providing aid and comfort to the internal enemies of the United States. Sooner or later evil cannot but reveal itself and we have reached that time and no amount of denial or excuses will suffice to excuse the Left’s and collaborating RINO’s actions.
And what do we hear from Republican Secretaries of State around the country: Nothing.

Ballot Cleansing: Democrats are Moving to Bar Republicans from Ballots Nationwide
Excerpt:
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) sought to bar 126 members of Congress under the same theory for challenging the election before Jan. 6, 2021.
Similar legislation from Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) to disqualify members got 63 co-sponsors, all Democrats.
https://jonathanturley.org/2024/01/05/ballot-cleansing-democrats-are-moving-to-bar-republicans-from-ballots-nationwide/
The propagandist media continues their slander unabated but the Truth is getting out:
his attempts to upend the 2020 election and his role in stoking the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The question becomes….when Lawfare fails, what is their next step? If they are determined to keep Trump off the ballot, the answer to that question is fairly obvious.
I’m sure there’s a Rino element involved her somehow….Perhaps all the Rino grifters have chip in a portion of their political grift in the hopes of maintaining it by barring Trump or at least slurring him in the hopes of his defeat.
We keep analyzing challenges to the various lawfare cases launched by the Democrats against their political opponents by principles of Constitutional law. However, like it or not, the truth is that the Democrats have already unmoored the United States from the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and equal justice under the law. There are enough examples to fill an encyclopedia but take a look at the J6ers and tell me where the Constitution, Bill of Right, and equal justice fit into the picture. The Federal Government, especially the DOJ, FBI, and IC are essentially the Biden Administration firewall designed to protect the administration while Biden and the Dems continue their lawfare attacks on their political opponents and dismantling of rule of law under our written Constitution. Yesterday, Biden called me and millions of other citizens racist, hate mongers, destroyers of Democracy and worse. This is 1930s Germany stuff. We are experiencing the beginnings of living under fascism and worse. The GOP sleeps, continuing their Rip Van Winkle impersonation. There isn’t much time to correct this at the ballot box in November.
Why don’t we start a case to declare Democrats as enemies of the country, and prevent ANY Democrat from EVER holding public office?
We can cite:
1 TREASON, the failure of Democrats to protects the legal citizens in their counties, states, and at the Federal level
2 Wasting tax payer money on frivolous cases and lawsuits in counties, states and at the Federal level
3 Failure to protect the rights of citizens
4 Failure to oversee fair and error free elections
5 Maladministration of funds, policies, any duty they have they corrupt and fail to perform
6 Corruption at every level – accepting foreign money in exchange for favors of office
I believe that Democrats are a danger to the entire country. They have wrecked our peace, sold our prosperity to our enemies and they are trying to replace us. They need to be kicked out of this country and never allowed entry ever again.
Which will it be more mockery of the judicial system OR true justice a day late and a dollar short?? Most likely a dog and pony show IMHO; the courts have captive audiences. Loss of trust is devastating.
The damage done to the US judicial system brought on by an illegal election is monumental; talk about deep state, deep pockets in robes will be twice as bad for US. Loss of trust is palpable.
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely; robes worn by wanna be gods is absolutely disasterous add monetary awards and trust is really compromised. Trillions ride on every decision the SCOTUS hears.
What was it that Shakespeare said about lawyers so many years ago??
The three branches of government have become very very deep.
God Help US
Deep or shallow; the bad can be rooted out.
Fight fire with fire Republican controlled states and remove any and all democrat/socialist/communist candidates from your ballots. Wake up Republicans our nation is being stolen by the cheat at every level.
To save our AMERICAN REPUBLIC, first and foremost we must save our AMERICAN DEMOCRACY … meaning, we must first save our American POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY — aka INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY — where such will require broad and deep improvements in our local and national educational systems.
MAGA NOW … more than ever!
