A clear majority of the Supreme Court’s nine justices signaled Thursday that they would overturn a Colorado ruling barring former President Donald Trump from the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot.
The former president, 77, and his lawyers were appealing the Dec. 19 decision by Colorado’s Supreme Court that found Trump ineligible for the March 5 GOP contest by virtue of violating the Constitution’s so-called “Insurrection Clause” during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Trump’s team argued separately that Congress — not the states — was tasked with enforcing the clause, that the provision did not apply to the office of president, and that the 45th president did not engage in an insurrection when hundreds of his allies stormed the Capitol and disrupted the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
The congressional supremacy argument found the most favor with the court, as Chief Justice John Roberts fretted during oral arguments that upholding the Colorado ruling would open the door to red and blue states removing politicians of opposing parties from the ballot on a whim.
“It’ll come down to just a handful of states that are going to decide the presidential election. That’s a pretty daunting consequence,” Roberts said.
*** “The question you have to confront,” liberal Justice Elena Kagan told Murray at another point in his argument, “is why a single state should decide who gets to be president of the United States.” ***

However, the Democrats will stop at nothing to keep Trump from running. Through their dangerous and inflammatory rhetoric they are encouraging assassination. I fear that someone may attempt to kill “Hitler.”
“This was a riot. It was not an insurrection. The events were shameful, criminal, violent, all of those things.”
It was weird hearing Jonathan Mitchell, President Trump’s lawyer, argue that before the Court.
SCOTUS GETS IT RIGHT!
Why is stating the facts weird?
CNN:
Conservative justices signaled they were seeking a way to side with Trump
MSNBC:
John Roberts is afraid of judging in Trump’s ballot case
Even the Times hs to admit this was the ugliest beat down in Supreme Court history.
never forget the reason for the left’s treason, the peaceful rally for election integrity

Agreed. I’d take it a step further: when does milling and sauntering about look like an insurrection?
Indicate. So, no official ruling yet?
Too bad more lefty states didn’t do this earlier, like 20+ of them as it be more fun to enjoy the beatdown, pure schadenfreude.
I hope they get it right.
You can see the bias in the so called Mainline press.
Modern liberals (“progressives”) have a habit of ignoring court rulings they don’t like. A good example of this is how some cities are ignoring 2A rulings by just changing a few words in their gun laws.
Would the same be attempted here should the Supreme Court rule for Trump? It would be tough to find another way to disqualify Trump. But I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they tried.
Because libtard states are completely out of control and breaking the law
Originally Pelosi claimed that it was an Armed insurrection. I guess the FIB failed to plant weapons on the protesters.
