The SC has no such power to decide this.

The stunted losers who have attempted to remove Trump from their state ballots cited the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as their rationale for doing so.

It is duplicitous — to the point of legal malpractice — for anyone involved on those cases to render a decision in that manner and then hide behind a “state’s rights” argument to keep it out of the Federal courts.

Before a person is punished for a crime (in this case “insurrection”), do they not have to be convicted of it?

Not in the soviet states of America.

You only wish.

What the hell kind of comment is that?

If you've got something to say, then have the courage to say it directly!

“ Kagan and Sotomayor have already hiked their leg on Trumps argument and pissed all over it.”

My God, what a nasty mental image.

Trump's attorney is contradicting friendly suggestions from conservative justices and he is needlessly conceding points to the liberals!

Show me proof that what happened on J6 was really an “insurrection”.

I have been listening for about thirty minutes, and have yet to hear Trump’s lawyer remind the court that Trump has not been, in a court of law, convicted of insurrection.

Until then, the whole bunch of arguments are merely academic.

Unless I missed it, Trump’s attorney did not bring up a due process argument. Colorado’s SC has just declared that Trump is guilty of insurrection, without trial or any legitimate process. Trump, as a US citizen has the right to be charged, tried, to present a defense, etc. Colorado’s action is clearly unconstitutional and must be overturned. Otherwise, turn out the lights, the US experiment is over.
