“Because Trump is a Poopy Head!”

[Daveinyork]

Texas should send more illegal aliens to Colorado.

[BigFreakinToad]

I agree AND Biden should be kicked off the Texas ballot.

[V_TWIN]

Sounds like good news to me

[ElkGroveDan]

I doubt this will stand but if it does it will be the beginning of the break up of America. There are states that can and will start kicking Biden off their ballots. Then what do we have? A really big mess.

[BigFreakinToad]

Orange man bad, fire hot, water wet.

[TexasFreeper2009]

If they throw Trump off the ballot Biden needs to be thrown off the ballot also under the same provision of “providing aid and comfort to our enemies”

Biden gave Iran $$$
Biden continues to allow illegal alien invasion

BOTH of which would disqualify him! and according to the left.. NO TRIAL NEEDED! only the accusation!

[V_TWIN]

Florida will.....bet on it

[Eleutheria5]

No! Because he personally led an armed insurrection which started while he was still talking at the Mall, AND he’s a poopy head!

[DoughtyOne]

If they filed the legal challenge, why do they need to address the court?

Either the filed argument stands or not. NOT!

I know people get to augment, but that annoys me in this case.

[No name given]

I’d say send them to Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket Island and Malibu California instead.

[StAnDeliver]

Perhaps one of the outright dumbest stream-of-unconsciousness blog droppings on Free Republic thus far in 2024. Congrats.

[M. Thatcher]

why do they need to address the court

It's the oral argument phase. Standard.

It will be 80 minutes. 40 minutes for Trump’s team, 40 minutes for the other side — now split into 30 minutes for the lawyer for the Colorado voters who filed the ballot challenge, and 10 minutes for this twit, Jena Griswold (Colorado Secretary of State).

She is big-footing the case, taking 10 minutes away from her side.

While I agree that removing Trump from the ballot via the 14th Amendment is absurd, there is an important point that Geller either overlooked or was unaware of.

None of the ex-Confederate officers and officials were charged with or convicted of insurrection yet the 14th did bar them from office until Congress ruled otherwise. The Amendment does not require trial or conviction. That’s why the dems are invoking it.

Also, just to nit pick, impeachment has nothing to do with ‘double jeopardy’. In fact the Constitution provides for the possibility of criminal trials after impeachment. Ford pardoned Nixon to prevent that from happening, because you know the dems wanted Nixon not just out of office, but in jail. Kind of like how they feel about Trump.

twit, Jena Griswold

Any relation to Clark ???

I went to Walmart today to get kitty litter and dishwasher detergent. Both up 25% from the last time I was there. This same thing is happening everybody everywhere. This is a case where telling the Big Lie over and over is not going to make people believe it.

[Dr. Franklin]

‘The real question is why the SCOTUS is hearing this case at all? Give her one minute. Why not tell this nut that the case has “No Standing” like Roberts did when election fraud was brought before them in 2021? Is Roberts going to rewrite the US Constitution on 14th like he did with Obamacare?

SCOTUS used to use the order of "Grant, Vacate, and Remand" (GVR) with obvious constitutional violations to keep the lower courts in check quickly and efficiently. It rarely does that anymore, and doesn't hear enough cases. By giving Colorado time to explain itself, it limits the time it will devote to other less known constitutional violations from other courts.

Nah, Clark was smart compared to her.
