Today, the Supreme Court gave a unanimous 9-0 rejection of Colorado’s state-level attempt to keep President trump off the ballot via Section 3 of the 14th amendment. Congress, not the States, is “responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.”
Techno Fog – According to the Supreme Court, States may only disqualify officeholders or candidates from state office. This power doesn’t extend to federal elections or officers: “Nothing in the Constitution delegates to the States any power to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.”
President Trump will deliver his remarks at 12 p.m.

Lefties will move on to plan Z. They will never stop. While this is very good news, I am frightened by how many people are still brainwashed and believe what the left and the lying media tell them.
kind of like junior high on steroids
Nah. Jr High kids still had some semblance of a conscience.
Yes, the key is keeping ‘PDJT = bad’ in the press non-stop through November, moving from one attack to another and maximizing the propaganda attacks from those acts.
My posit? We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
i’m still not convinced we’ll see trump back in the white house but just for fun lets say it happens….i want ann coulter as his press sec. maybe they could kiss and make up.
I ran into one at the produce section of my supermarket.
She was bemoaning the prices of things. I said, “Well, hopefully in November we get rid of the SOB who caused all this.”
She responded with, “Yeah, double trouble.”
When the abused spouse stands up to the abuser and all hell breaks loose guess who the abuser’s family blames? Yep. The victim for daring to upset the poor misunderstood abuser.
Sometimes ya just gotta wait till they are asleep, tie them in bed, and set the bed on fire on your way out the door…itsthe only wayas they will hunt you to the ends of the earth…
Yep,
One has to experienced true evil to fully comprehend it.
There is NO compromise as individuals such as Obama, Holder, Schumer etc etc only view compromise as weakness.
Cheers!
Agree. I actually pity those whose lives have been so sheltered, they have never looked eye to eye with evil, that wanted them dead.
It concentrates the mind, most effectively.
True, it concentrates the mind that this evil sunsabitch wants me DEAD, still if you survive the experience, you are unlikely to not recognise evil when you see it, ever again.
The lying Media is “the enemy within the gates” we’ve been warned about!
CUT THE CORD
CUT THE CORD
CUT THE CORD
CUT THE CORD
SINCE 2005
The intel world actively working against Americana is the enemy within. The media simply shills for them.
The RINO Republicons, as they are the ones that sidle up to you, call you “friend” put their arm around your shoulder as they brace themselves, ..to stab you in the back.
Neither the MSM nor the Intel Community pretend to be the friends of MAGA or PDJT.
They ALL work for the Bankers
if you told 3/4 of the country that trump won in court today on a huge point they wouldn’t even know what the heck you were talking about.
Sounds bout right https://observer.com/2017/07/soldiers-militia-american-revolution/
Today’s Leftists are simply Nazis out of uniform.
The “Leftwaffe”…
Awesome.
Nice one and accurate
And all Schweinhund.

Nice!!
I’m jealous 🙂

Me too. (Furiously trying to be clever with Biltzkrieg).
Keep trying…
Eventually lightning will strike 🙂
Nicely played

You should be, WORDMAN 😉

If Plan Z doesn’t work, they will start thinking about Plans J, F and K.

There will be an assassination attempt before this is over with.
Possibly, of Biden as it solves almost if not all of their problems,…and they won’t “JFK” him i.e. “lone nutjob” they will “ABE” him, i.e. inherently obvious “Conspiracy”.
“,…how many,…”
Just exactly HOW MANY do you really think there are?
MAGA do not DO Polling.
So, take whatever # you think it is that self-identify as “MAGA” out of the equation, first.
And the polling of “whats left” still shows PDJT 60 POINTS ahead of any RINO and well ahead of any Dem.
Now, IF a bunch of Americans were still listening to and being influenced by MSM Fake news, those #’s would be different, and we would be talking about RDS as the R nominee, and Nikki as his VP to”heal the divide” in the party, between MAGA and RINO.
Shift gears, things have changed, and the ild whine bemoaning the sheeple is ancient history.
MAGA Media is now dominating the MSM.
This is how far we have fallen. A matter of constitutional law that would normally be a slam-dunk exam question for a first-year law student made itself all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States. It’s shameful! How much more abuse can our judicial system take before the entire structure collapses?
And what happens if Colorado choses to ignore the Supreme Court ruling and removes Trump from the ballot? Biden chooses to ignore Supreme Court rulings when he doesn’t agree with them. Nothing seems to happen to him.
I doubt they’ll ignore the ruling though anything is possible. The sanction in my view would be the invalidation of their electors but that would require Congress to act if the state doesn’t, if the 2020 election is any guide.
The CO Primary ballots go in tomorrow and Donald Trump’s name is there and listed last just like the Louisiana ballot that someone posted some time ago.
Our primary election ballots here in Florida have Trump’s name last. That’s because the names on the Florida ballots are listed in alphabetical order. I suspect that’s the same for Colorado too.
Here in California, Adam Schiff is running for U.S. Senator against 26 other candidates. The three most notables are Steve Garvey of L.A. Dodger fame,
Barbara Lee ( listed as Dem Congresswoman) and Katie Porter ( listed as U.S. Representative).
Schiff sent us two anti-Garvey mailings, saying Garvey in too conservative – lol – then again, this is Calif.
Oh – forgot to add that, on the ballot, Schiff’s name is dead last.
No, federal troops/ National Guard appear at polling places and state offices. Remember segregation? The State of Colorado cannot prevent its citizens from their rights to vote as they choose in a federal election. No need to postpone election, it will just be done under watchful military eyes
Violation of federal election laws and they will go to jail after Trump is elected and his AG prosecutes them. Make your reservation NOW at the gray bar hotel. Three hots a day and a weekly shower.
And DO NOT drop the soap!
Too late for Colorado. Primary is tomorrow and POTUS Trump was put back on the ballot by SoS who saw writing on wall with case rapid tracking to SCOTUS. This kills future cases like Ill from being taken up in the lower courts. Of course they will continue to try anything but also have multiple cases in progress heading toward life support to keep them busy.
Like many states, Colorado Republicans have their Primary tomorrow and their caucus later in the week. A voter must choose in which process he/she wants to participate.
I don’t believe that the Republicans has caucuses. The Democrats have caucuses.
I was wrong. The primaries select the presidential candidate for the party. The caucus selects the electors to the Republican National Convention.
Thank you. I’m sorry if I responded without checking your post. My sister has really been working hard for the MAGA Republicans in Colorado and she’s “geared-up”. MAGA vs. RINO’s.
My sister is an official in the Republican Party of Colorado. Their caucus is Thursday.
No, in Colorado, registered party members get to do both primary and caucus. Unaffiliated voters get to vote only in the primary, but they can vote in either primary. (Although they receive ballots for both primaries, they are only SUPPOSED to use one ballot. And there is at least one person in the whole state who is actually checking….)
Caucus is run by the party, and under the newly-MAGA Republican Party in Colorado, is the happening place to be!
Thank you Learning!
It should lose its delegates
Ballots were printed in January. The victory is actually moot.
Yes, Jan printing but moot only for Colorado. Huge for any other states (Ill in the queue) conspiring with the uniparty to interfere with bonafide citizens right to vote for their chosen candidate and clarifies role of states vis-a-vis role of US Congress on the matter going forward. Knock-out punch on this election interference tactic.
Apparently, you didn’t live through Brown v Board of Education.
It’s already collapsed, you just haven’t heard the sound of the sound of the explosion.
Exactamundo! And what happens to them? What price do they pay? Zip, nada, nothing. There’s your trouble right there.
That’s Barry’s plan. Collapse the entire system.
You believe it is still standing??? I see isolated pillars.
While the ruling was 9-0, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown-Jackson wrote a “concurring opinion” disagreeing with the scope of the majority’s opinion, so I hope Trump doesn’t give those three much credit. .
Thanks, I was in shock SCOTUS upheld the Constitution. But even more shocked it was unanimous!
Further proof they’re (those 3) clowns and posers/useful leftist idiots
They wouldn’t want to shine too bright a light on their “Constitutional bias” now would they?
That 9-0 decision was more about them (supreme court and the judicial branch), than the Constitution. 🙄
so that wackjob illinois traffic court judge just got her ass handed to her on a platter!
Her 15 seconds of fame have come and gone – back to traffic court cases …
Tow that Illinois judge to the impound lot and leave her there.
Ah…a reminder…pay offs…always pay offs…Mr. Trump’s comments were on target…personally, I would not want the responsibility of making some of those decisions he spoke of…
Always the pay offs…
And the charm school in Joliet…
Please. Retirement time.
SO glad for this smack down of Colorado. They can’t think straight since the dope smoke fog has settled in permanently. May the leader of all USA loving wolverines be unleashed at the ballot box and may we vote with paper ballots. << In the interest of the quality of our national election, NOT speed in which the “counting” gets done. Go Team Wolverines!
Many of us Coloradans don’t vote like these leftist nitwits (Jenna Griswold – this means YOU!).
More like their installed governor who has brought a beautiful state down. How did his family make millions from greeting cards? And they aren’t even Hallmark…
Whenever I see that pic of President Trump slam dunking the basketball while wearing his golden hightops, all I can think is:
“Hey Fani, tell me how my ass tastes.”
President Trump would probably think something a little less profane something more cleaner, e.g. “how does defeat taste Fani!” if he would even say that much! JMO
It’s in reference to a classic diss by Shaq towards Kobe.
“Hey Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes.”
President Trump would get a good laugh at the reference.
Yeah he probably would but don’t I think he would ever say it to anyone!!! JMO
Chris Rock says “tossed salad?”
9-0!
Bwahahahaha!
The left is losing its collective hive minds today!
I love it!
Maybe resistance isn’t so futile.
You might be encouraged by listening to this.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/70-years-making-marxist-takeover-america-is-falling/
But…I’m sure they already have their next treasonous move planned. We all need to be prepared to “resist” them until they’re all permanently barred from holding any government office. Patriots get ready! This whole thing will take peranceerserv
Don’t give the heathens a second of your day!
All pre planned whining. This decision was a no brainer and the memo directing shouts from the rooftops went out last week.
Trump should give the US Supreme Court about as much credit on this as he would give a 10 year old credit for getting getting “What’s 1 + 1 ?” right.
What’s amazing is that the true believers with incurable TDS will sit there and wonder “What went wrong again?” and never stop to think that maybe, just maybe they might be being lied to.
Ace has an excellent summary as well.
>>Supreme Court Unanimously Strikes Down the Colorado Supreme Court’s Juvenile Internet Trolling Disguised as a “Judicial Decision”
Court decisions are made up of two big parts: the ruling, and the opinion. The ruling dispenses with the issue directly in front of the Court. The “instant dispute,” as they say. The matter right here in front of us. Here, that ruling is that the Colorado cannot exclude Trump from the ballot.
The opinion explains the reasons for the ruling, and announces how all similar cases in the future will be decided (or, at least, what the structure will be for deciding them).
The Justices were unanimous on the ruling, but the liberals did not join the majority opinion. The majority opinion still rules. But three Justices didn’t join it.
Six Justices — the five “conservatives,” plus Roberts — voted for an opinion stating that Congress alone has the power to announce who is disabled from holding federal office due to “insurrectionary” acts. Presumably Congress would actually pass a law stating that certain persons named in the law were insurrectionists and not eligible to hold federal office.
The three liberal Justices claimed that that goes to far, and that a state could rule that Trump (or any other office-seeker) was barred from seeking federal office if that person had been convicted under the federal law of “insurrection.”
That’s not a crazy position to hold, but the justices in the majority probably resisted it, because they know the left is just spamming out one lawfare case after another, and if they left any wiggle room for another series of lawsuits to exclude Trump from the ballot, they’d leap to do that, and we’d have another nine months of actions to bar Trump from the ballot and a bunch more Supreme Court hearings on the constitutionality of these lawsuits.
So the majority said, “No, that’s enough of this bullshit. It ends now.”
https://acecomments.mu.nu/?post=408637
So the majority said, “No, that’s enough of this bullshit. It ends now.”
Interesting take, but as POS Roberts and others are probably ‘in the know’, they also realize it’s a bit early to lite the fuse.
The Summer of Discontent 2024 version, is fast approaching, but it’s still too early to implement the Martial Law needed to cancel the election entirely [or whatever tact they take]. There is much work to be done;
More invaders needed daily.
EBT cards issued to continue Cloward-Piven.
More main streaming of violent thefts across the US.
The inevitable ‘raciss’ event that is coming to spark unrest.
Turning off the $pigot for the EBT cards.
Etc., etc., etc…

Awesome time to be alive!
Lawfare could conceivably ram through an “insurrection” conviction on Trump in DC in time for the election. It would be overturned on appeal for double jeopardy, because of the last impeachment and acquittal the Dems put on Trump. The Supremes headed them off at the pass.
There is no way that they can convene a grand jury, indict, get thru motions and a trial between now and November.
Will never happen.
Doesn’t Jack Smith have an insurrection/sedition charge thrown in with all his other charges? Or they could “unseal” some up til now secret indictment?
Never say never with the DC kangaroo courts
Again, Marc Elias group filed 6 lawsuits to try to keep MAGA identified Congresscritters, who had in some tenuos way been associated with J6 off the 2022 ballot, using this same ,14A3 argument.
All 6 failed, but it did occupy time, $ and effort of these candidates, duringcampaign season and give them arguably negative media.
This ruling insures any future such efforts against candidates forFEDERAL office will probably not even be brought, and would be dismissed at the outset.
That stick is looking a little uncomfortable right about now!
Ick
Poor plant 🙁
..a those eyes…….
Chicago po💩 judge may begin pounding

I’m so glad it was 9-0. At least that gives them nothing to whine about a politicized court.
Oh, they’re whining. See Olbermann in my next comment.
Apparently the whole, entire court needs to be dissolved.
They don’t get their way, they have epic temper tantrums.
The meltdowns have begun, and they will be epic.
Maybe Olbermann should go out in front of the US Supreme Court and set himself on fire.
Keith Olbermann is a leftist nut. He and people like him have lost their minds.
I will never understand their definition of a Republic.
If You host a show on MSNBC, you’ve declared your anti-Americanism.
Ol’ Keith should be jailed for “dis,miss and denileism 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah Yes K.O. The whining spoiled brat of “Democracy” and poster boy of TDS. You know that the American system of governance and justice is working if this little ferret of Left Wing idiocracy is whining about something.
🤷♀️💁🤷♀️
😂😂😀😃
The meltdowns are
always fun to watch.
🤡🤡🤡
Oh, that is a BEAUTIFUL comeback – I think I will steal it if the issue comes up in any conversations!
Watch the first two minutes of this video to see Charlie Kirk turn the tables on a leftie by forcing her to take her views on abortion to their logical conclusion….OUCH!!
Class dismissed. lol
The proof is in and posted on X: a twelve-year-old is smarter than Keith Olbermann when it comes to Constitution law.

I said it before and will continue to say it……….
IMO PT will hopefully decide to declassify key communications from 2016-present that he can present to the American public that hopefully will show a true conspiracy by government, specific media outlets and third party individuals who worked tirelessly to undermine and takedown a sitting President of the US and then planned to attack him with massive lawsuits to thwart and interfere in his election campaign of 2024.
I hope PT realizes that showing the American public actual words / communications where much of what we have seen these past 8 years has been most likely planned and coordinated is critical.
THIS is the TRUE CRIME of the Century as hundreds if not thousands could be indicted for trying to take down a sitting President and also interfering in the 2024 election.
Anyone who believes what we have witnessed these past 8 years and thinks it all has happened by chance vs a possibly massive planned coordination, is a fool.
I hope those who are advising PT understand just how important exposing the actual communications are to the world so we can end this socialist takeover and destruction of America once and for all.
While I’m for transparency, I think a discussion of the realities post-disclosure would be worthwhile too. What’s our plan of action? We’ve seen with the 2016, 2020, and 2022 elections how disclosed election fraud has been addressed, and we have seen how the realities of the Covid operation have, once dribbled out, been addressed.
How do we combat evil once identified specifically?
While positing the milieu I’m reminded of the movie Conspiracy, where the Nazis modified their laws to legally promulgate the acts to exterminate the Jews. How was that evil ended?
We can also discuss other evil constructs of the last 100-150 years for guidance. How did they resolve? Do we have more productive tools to resolve the milieu now? If so, what are they?
With all the information in play, how do we defeat the enemy? I’ll posit it’ll take generations, save for the solution that ended the Nazis, and those generations will need to be warriors who remember and respect and embrace the past as valuable.
Just as the evil which killed JFK gained new identification in recent years, and that evil is largely or completely dead, evil begets evil and it continues throughout time, as longs as humans are vertical and breathing. What to do?
Cue renewed SCOTUS packing talking points in 3… 2… 1…
Whatever talking points the left sends out to their mouthpieces will have a half-life shorter than a sub-atomic particle. I suspect that within 18 hours we’ll be hearing nothing but Super Tuesday hype.
thank you for this. Listening with hubbs!!
God bless the REAL President, and protect him from the morons.
So obvious lefty Associate Justices vote with the Conservatives now rein in Merrick Garland.
The most telling passage in the entire decision is in the Concurrence by the Three Amigas. They aren’t happy because the majority saw through the Lawfare game and cut it all off at the knees:
“Ultimately, under the guise of providing a more ‘complete’ explanation for the judgment,’ … the majority resolves many unsettled questions about Section 3. It forecloses judicial enforcement of that provision, such as might occur when a party is prosecuted by an insurrectionist and raises a defense on that score. The majority further holds that any legislation to enforce this provision must prescribe certain procedures ‘tailored’ to Section 3, … ruling out enforcement under general federal statutes requiring the government to comply with the law. By resolving these and other questions, the majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding federal office.”
The Three are unhappy because as a result of this decision:
1- When the Justice Department during Trump’s second term prosecutes someone, the defendant can’t raise as a defense that Trump is/was/might have been an insurrectionist.
2 – A Lawfare federal prosecutor can’t gin up a case against Trump (or anyone else) under any currently existing federal law, and then use it to bootstrap their way into an “insurrectionist” finding under Section 3.
3 – The path to disqualification from federal office using ANY Article 3 argument has been fully and completely cut off.
The short of it is, these guys aren’t stupid. They got Lawfare’s number, understand exactly what they are up to, and pushed out an early decision saying “We’re allowing NONE of it.” Well done.
Oh, and I’ve told you before to be careful of Barrett. What the majority did in this case just flew right over her head.
Now we just need the SC to uphold the immunity claim once and for all.
I think this vote tells me that will be 6-3 or 5-4 in President Trump’s favor.
Actually, many seem to be forgetting what I think may be the most important case, the Classified Docs case, in Fla.
I think it has the potential to give PDJT the authority he needs, to truly clean house on all the 3 letter agencies focused on National Security, by affirming that THEY are subservient to him, rather than vice versa.
The GOP, Trump and his associates have done no one a service by not going after Lawfare.
Most people have no idea what the term means. None whatsoever. Most have never heard of it, in fact.
Similarly, they have no idea what “advocacy journalism” is. It’s a an oxymoron.
I was astounded to hear Jonathan Turley admit the other day on Fox that he’s “only now realizing that what is taught in universities today in the journalism departments is advocacy.”
My God.
Lawfare would never have been born were its practitioners aware that journalists would rip its concepts to shreds. That it’s alive and still kicking occurs only because of what the “news” media have become.
It’s not enough that Trump says, “fake news.”
He has to go beyond that now with razor sharp speeches that bring Lawfare and “journalism” into focus for all of America.
#2 is on point – if SC had left any wiggle room there – Wiessman , Eisen , Monaco et al would have been feverishly working as we speak to worm their way through it and create another “ first of its kind case “ that could be thrown against PDJT — like NYC DA Bragg’s stretched bootstrap to Federal Election law thing under State law (whatever ) ~.they don’t care as long as they can spit out the court filings and start the leaks to the Press … SOP
Or, perhaps you have it all wrong?
Perhaps the idea behind these cases, was to generate uncertainty, during the run up to the primary season, regarding PDJT?
I.e. “don’t vote for “Trump” as there is too much uncertainty and drama.
Vote for RDS, he’s Trump without the uncertainty!”
Put another way, these 14A3 cases were intended to be ‘complimentary’ or in addition to the Indictments, and neither were expected to be successful as COURT cases, they were only intended for the Court of Public Opinion.
IF the strategy had worked, they would have torpedoed PDJT’s campaign, and by this point RDS would have the nomination sewn up, PDJT would have cancelled his campaign, and the fact these cases would be collapsing would be irrelevant, as they would have served their purpose.
Which is actually what I have been saying, all along.
Of course they were , but what makes you think the number and /or type of cases is “ self limiting” -don’t you think they will be throwing cases against the wall too see if anything sticks ( perception wise ) right up to (or after?) Election Day -Why would they give up trying ? They see no downside to that strategy …
She sits in south bend caring for her many small kids, and relies on other justices to tell her how to vote. I predict She will continue to be worthless until the kids grow up
Brilliant ❣️❣️❣️
PDJT
the REAL president
Boy howdy!!!!
Winning bigly today.
God bless you President Trump. Our dear Lord has your back today.
Keep it up!!!!!
I hate it when President Trump refers to that traitor as “President Biden.”
I hate it when anyone refers to that corrupt traitorous Resident as “President Biden.”
In another time and place I might care about nitpicking words
But Today we are into the final months that will determine whether we can possibly return to a constitutional republic (freedom) or whether we will live under the boot of totalitarianism.
In the run up to November, I care only about supporting President Trump any way each of us can. IMO any nitpicking of President Trump in the run up to Nov is unhelpful at best, batting for the other side at worst.
Every damn bit of this, every last tittle and tot, traces RIGHT BACK to the government manipulated events of January 6 that justified suspending Congress, reconvening under emergency rules that did not permit objections to the certification, and set up ALL the “insurrection” arguments used today. I have resisted saying it so far, but I told you. I told you. I TOLD you to stay away from that cluster F. But OH NO! People went anyway. Now we have this. Sorry, but sometimes I just get cranky.
Who knew what evil lurked in the hearts of men?
The Shadow knew.
I knew something bad was going to happen that day. They had too much time to plan their treachery.
Spin the wheel Lefties see where it lands!!! Next up….!
Section 3 states: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President……”It does not apply to a person running for President, only an ELECTOR for President or VP. The whole thing was a farce to begin with. Does anyone on the “left” know how to read??
Shawn Farash weighs in 😃😅
Someone needs to file a claim against Jack Smith and whoever else files these malicious lawsuits to prevent this from happening again.
Legal costs and Smith’s law license should be on the table.
Well, one biggie down more to go. About time scotus.
At taxpayer expense, the uniparty vulture culture forced President Trump to waste time and money. The same with the bogus prosecutions. While the long term prospect of any of these persecutions are pretty low, it is still a win-win for the lefty lawfare approach. Until there are serious repercussions against these agitators using public money for these mockeries of law, they will continue what they consider a low risk, low investment, high result approach.
Maybe that could be tested by a suit against the individuals by Trump. Civil suit claiming losses due to their not acting in good faith according to the specific language in Section 3. Plus a criminal case for election interference as demonstrated by the very clear wording of Section 3.
If running for office is a Politicians business, than hiring lawyers to fight lawsuits attempting to prevent running for office, is obviously a business expence and so an Income Tax deduction…
So, seems to me PDJT is ALSO “using public monies” to adjudicate these lawfare cases?
“Nothing in the Constitution delegates to the States any power to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.”
Interesting choice of terms. There is also nothing in the Constitution that delegates to the courts the power to prosecute Presidents for alleged “crimes” committed while they are in office. That power is reserved by the Constitution for the people through their elected representatives in Congress. It’s not that Presidents are immune from prosecution, it’s just that any such prosecution is to be done by Congress. With this decision, the majority on SCOTUS is previewing their view of the Presidential immunity question.
Correct! Impeachment by the House, trial in the Senate, removal from office is the only remedy in the Constitution.
I expressed the same opinion in Presidential thread earlier today. I thought the wording the SCOTUS used was very too the point.
A federal officer such as AG in the DOJ is inferior to the Office of the President of the United States and is not in the Capacity to indict a President for conduct in office unless Congress has impeached and removed the President from office, then the President can be indicted for High crimes and Misdemeanor.
They are hinting for Jack Smith to go away before the hammer falls on the AG and the DOJ
A word of caution from Roger Kimball in the Spectator:
“The SCOTUS order is cheery news for partisans of genuine democracy, in which the people, not a cabal of self-appointed elites, get to decide who will govern us. But any cheer that is extracted from today’s decision should be tempered by the name John Roberts, Chief justice of the Supreme Court.
In the past, Roberts has shown himself to be cautious to the point of cravenness when it comes to appeasing the left. Every time he decides something that favors the conservative principles of originalism, he seems to get nervous and prevail upon the susceptible members of the Court to do something to soothe the left. He did it with Obamacare, and he did it more recently with voting rights and redistricting cases.
The question is, will he pressure his colleagues to throw Jack Smith a bone in the classified documents case that the Court just agreed to hear? Stand by.”
I think Kimball meant the presidential immunity from criminal prosecution case that SCOTUS just accepted, but the concern should still be there.
Jack Smith is a Nazi out of uniform.
Kimball tends to be one of the smartest folk in the room, too.
If Roberts or the Court wants to be timid, the filing by Meese, pointing out Smith is unqualified, is the way to go.
That way they totally dodge the challenges of Immunity from Prosecution, AND Classified docs authority, in one swell foop.
If my theory is correct, which is that the whole plan/motive of tge 14A3 cases, AND Indictments was just to create a path to denying PDJT the R nomination, and they now recognise that plan has failed and they need an offramp, thats the way they will go.
Here’s an idea! Every State Supreme Court Justice that voted to BAN Trump from the ballot should be relieved of their duties. Fired. For being hyper-political, and legally incompetent. America needs to clean house of activist Judges.
I’m reminded of the time Californians were still SANE and actually RECALLED CA Supreme Court Justice Rose Bird … for summarily and unilaterally eliminating the death penalty …
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1986/04/08/rose-bird-and-the-court-of-conflict/d391da7f-33dd-4fa5-87b2-a7c79e62e048/
Now … Gavin Newsom has done the same thing … and nobody in CA has even batted an eye
I remember when we got rid of Bird. I hated her.
She didn’t even pretend to follow the law, she just decided that because she was against the death penalty, she just decided to overturn every death sentence.
A typical Massachusetts liberal.
Now the Republican Party are scared of activist leftist Judges … and would DARE mount a recall effort. Sad, sad sack Republican Party. It can’t get remade into the MAGA Trump Party fast enough
“A typical Massachusetts liberal.”
Nope. Can’t blame Tax-a-chusetts for that one.
She was so far to the left she never made it east of the Mississippi.
And PDJT countersue for time, fees, defamation and frivolity
Nikki drop out yet?
Girl, don’t go away mad…
She won’t drop out until she has dug a hole half way to China.
Or built a house the size of China.
A good ruling. Even the three knee jerk liberals were compelled to agree with this one.
So when do we ask the question……..
If a Presidential candidate has a 60% disapproval rating, then how is it possible to get 81+M votes like in 2020?
And again for reference, in 2008 Obama go 69.5M votes with a 60% APPROVAL rating meaning old Joe got 16.5% more votes in 2020 than a much more popular BO did in 2008.
So I ask again………..
How is it going to be possible with a 60% DISAPPROVAL rating, how is JB going to get another 81+M votes???
he won’t…… he’ll get 95 million votes and he’ll them all.
81 million votes? No way.
81 million ballots? Easy.
Conventional political wisdom says in order to be viable, a Presidential Incumbent must have at least 40%, one year out from the election.
They had to prop him up by undersampling R’s, and depend on MAGA self-excluding, and even then he is stuck at 39% .
Interesting piece that spells out the vote, er, ballot totals comparing elections:
http://www.peekinthewell.net/blog/im-going-into-2024-thinking-2020-was-rigged/
Selected parts FTA:
In 2012, the incumbent President Barack Obama received 65,915,795 votes and His challenger, Mitt Romney, received 60,933,504. That’s a total of 126,849,299.
Four years later, 62,984,828 people voted for Donald Trump, and 65,853,514 voted for Hillary Clinton, which adds up to 128,838,342.
So among just these four candidates, in four years, there was an increase of 1,989,043 votes.
Suppose the increase was the same between 2016 and 2020. That would mean there were 130,827,385 votes legitimately cast between Trump and Biden, right? We can probably believe the 74,223,975 going to Donald Trump were legitimate, because there certainly wasn’t anybody behind the scenes putting thumbs on the scales for his sake. So that would mean Biden legitimately received 56,603,410 votes, which would be less than his “official” take of 81,283,501 by a difference of 24,680,091.
The electoral base leaped from 128 million to 155 million? When in the previous four years it swelled modestly from 126 million to 128 million?
The swelling between 2016 and 2020, exceeded the natural swelling between 2012 and 2016…by 1,240 percent?
In Major Blow To Democracy, Supreme Court Rules Voters Can Vote For Favorite Candidate.

President Trump needs to release a statement to be on the outlook for domestic terrorist, insurrectionist Smucky Schemer to be making an attack on “our democracy’s” Supreme Court as he has done in the past.
Preempt the sucker. Doesn’t Smucky know our institutions are sacred ?
Nikki Haley must not have heard the news because she is out there running her mouth and she still is trying to tell people she has a chance to be President and she has a crowd today that is full of idiots but then what can you say about people like Raskin and since she now belongs to the dems and their stupid ways I pray that the good lord stops this witch in her place and be done with her
Imagine having that as a spouse
Hyper ambitious people with no redeeming qualities might be the worst of all. Throw in some evil deep-statedness and there is no doubt.
He would have volunteered for Ukraine (maybe he DID!) just to get as far away from her as he could.
The new talking point is she won her first primary…Washington DC
That alone is an endorsement of President Trump.
Keeping Trump off the Co ballet is a nothing burger, this ruling may just be s deception to paint the SCOTUS as non partisan, so if they rule that Trump does not have “Executive” immunity, they will not look partisan. If he does not have executive immunity, they can jail him, which would be a bigger blow to Trump, than not being on a few state ballets.
They can’t jail him before November, and every move they make in that direction just makes him stronger, as people see the increasingly obvious witch hunt.
I’m not worried, at all, about the immunity issue.
I have outlined in the comments threads over the last two days what I am worried about, particularly if the rest of March goes as well on multiple fronts as the beginning of the month has gone.
President Trump is going to crush it tomorrow, and have the nomination wrapped up by the 20th.
I expect more Biden crime family headlines to drop, possibly beginning to draw the Obama, Clinton, and Cuomo crime families in.
Anderson Cooper and Fake Tapper are about to lose their jobs = big loss for the DS Mockingbird media ability to shape public perception of events.
At some point, the DS playbook gets pulled out. Wag the dog in the Ukraine did not work, the Brits are having a Rugby scum with the Krauts over embarrassing leaks . . . It continues to fall apart.
We know the “unify the country” playbook, do we not?
Remember those days of saying “Thank you for your service ” to every single person in uniform while there was not a plane in the sky?
Black swan.

John Rich: Know how to sterilize water if your electricity is out.
If the power is out, for an extended period of time, you need to be able to shut off your sewer line, as the pumps that pump sewage to the treatment plants will be off, and sh*t runs downhill.
It is not SOP to install a”gate valve” on your sewerline, but no too expensive or complicated to do.
Without it, every time anyone uphill from you, uses their toilet, you will get raw sewage into your home, quickly making in unhealthy to hunker down.
Farmers rarely have septic fields (green)(ick) back up into their homes.
Colorado hasn’t done well in the Supreme Court lately. A few years ago Colorado lost their case regarding the Christian baker. Colorado tried to take that case again before the Supreme Court but were quickly smacked down. Today’s defeat for Colorado means “3 strikes and you’re out.”
I grew up in Colorado but things sure have changed in that state.
Most of the changes happened after the elite took Dominion over Colorado.
It’s the governor.
I’m pleasantly surprised and glad to say my prediction didn’t come true. Yet I still don’t trust the Supremes just quite yet.
Those traitorous Americans who can’t stand the thought of having to live in the USA WHEN Trump is elected president AGAIN for the THIRD time might as well sell their homes, schedule their yard sales and pack up their remaining belongings for their (permanent) departure from our country.
I will help them pack, drive them to the airport, carry their bags to the airline baggage counter and sing John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane” to them as they head for the departure gate.
I would especially enjoy helping the airheaded “Cher” fulfill her long-standing promise to leave the country.
When Taylor Swift leaves, she can fly on her private jet, but we can pray all her “Swifties” will follow her lead by cramming aboard ships to get out America, to continue to worship their false idol, Tay Tay, in a foreign land.

Just to reiterate, prior to anyone trying this 14A3 against PDJT, Marc Elias group tried it, unsuccesfully against 6 MAGA candidates running for the House, in 2022 elections.
In most of the cases, the Courts dismissed it outright, but in 1-2 it actually went to trial, but in all Elias lost. As these WERE Federal offices, this decision by SCOTUS insures this lawfare tactic can’t be used again.
So, theres that.
is there a separate case regarding the constitutionality of the Jack Smith appointment, or is that a part of the Immunity case they are going to hear in April?🤔
I believe it was an amicus brief, filed by meese as a former A.G., and as such I think SCOTUS CAN just ignore it, if they choose, or not.
That is its not like if THAT was the case they had agreed to accept, a challenge to Smith on that basis.
Realistically though, with the filing having been made public, and with a lot of commentary ON it, I find it difficult to imagine them ignoring it, and issueing a decision “on the merits” of the case, while leaving this issue unaddressed, like an elephant in the room.
Since the US Supreme Court did not specifically exclude the ruling from on high from the Chicago Muncipal Traffic Judge Tracie Porter, Trump is still excluded off the Illinois ballot. And as Tracie Porter goes, so goes the nation!
No, they said this was not something that can be done by state or local officials, only federal
I’d also be interested in discussion of Section 3 and how the court addressed, or didn’t, its applicability and nuances wrt the case.
Also, IMO the ruling is no guarantee against future ‘mistakes’ or outright omission of PDJT on general election or primary election ballots. We’ve seen precedence with other aspects of election fraud, as or more egregious, in past elections. Very little to no enforcement has occurred. Without enforcers, SCOTUS is a bunch of humans in black robes. Impotent. What to do?
This ruling effects every State….not just Colorado…every state MUST put President Trump’s name, as a Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party on the ballots.
The ‘fun’ part is that this was a unanimous decision.
Start jumping,🤪 libs…..the lines are gonna be long.
