“Because Trump is a Poopy Head!”

[Daveinyork]

Texas should send more illegal aliens to Colorado.

[V_TWIN]

Sounds like good news to me

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.

[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!

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.

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

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.

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.

‘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.

[Gnome1949]

What could happen is a state could IGNORE a Supreme Court slap-down and keep Trump off the state’s presidential ballot in spite of the SCOTUS ruling they cannot do so.

How would that get resolved?

We have individual states NOW deliberately in open rebellion against SCOTUS rulings on several subjects, including gun control and discrimination in college admissions.

Nine Supreme Court justices cannot crush open defiance of their orders. They have no armed divisions of troops to enforce their orders especially when the current corrupt administration is cheering on this defiance.

[Fury]

…under the 5th Amendment of double jeopardy he cannot be tried twice for same offense.

Uh, no, that’s not correct. Impeachment is not a criminal proceeding.

The whole wide world knows how the “wise Latina” is going to vote. Why not just mail it in. Has there ever been anyone more radical than her?

[WASCWatch]

Going to be a 9-0 decision in favor of Trump. I would not want to be the Colorado attorney defending the Colorado Supreme Court.

[pangaea6]

Maybe they want the world to see what fool she is. If others think you are a fool, some people cant help but open their mouth to proof them right

[Candor7]

Orange Man Bad.......run for your lives and hide your daughters!

The fake caterwauling is ludicrous . Let the voters decide.

[1Old Pro]

Throw this out and give Ms. Griswald a swift kick in the ars.
