BREAKING! JUST IN: Supreme Court Sets Unusual Opinion Release For Monday Morning – Signals Ruling on Trump Ballot Eligibility is Looming
The Gateway Pundit ^ | March 3, 2024 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 03/03/2024 1:18:12 PM PST by Macho MAGA Man

The Supreme Court is set to issue a ruling on Trump’s ballot eligibility after he challenged a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to bar him from the 2024 primary ballot.

In December the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Trump from the 2024 ballot.

All 7 Colorado Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democrats – 3 of the justices dissented to the ruling.

The legal theories are based on Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.

Trump has not been charged with engaging in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.

Oral arguments before the Supreme Court on Trump’s ballot eligibility wrapped in early February.

The Supreme Court expressed skepticism as they heard arguments from Colorado lawyer Jason Murray. Even the liberal justices expressed concern.

“Why should a single state have the ability to make this determination not only for their own citizens but for the rest of the nation?” Justice Kagan asked.

9-0 because the liberals know the next step is Biden being removed from the ballots for every red state.

The downstream effect is the 100% loss of Democratic format voting by the citizens from the president all the way down to the local dog catcher.

We can assume (albeit with an N = 1) that if this is not leaked then it was a 9-0 decision either way.

A losing dissent from any of the 3 libs would be embarrassing, but marginally understandable, but for any of the others ....a reputation killer. This uncustomary early announcement indicates major agreement. 9-0.

I hope so...

Yes and further everybody seems to not even mention or understand that the disability was removed by Congress twice in the late 1800’s.

Yeah I think even the commies on the court know that ruling against Trump would mean that red states could ban Biden off the ballot so basically in November we would have no president since neither one would get to 270..Trump should NOT be removed and neither should Biden, let the voters decide! And I think the reason they are revealing the decision tomorrow is because with Super Tuesday, Colorado votes and Trump’s name is still on the ballot, if they were ruling against him they would have had to had time to issue new ballots without his name, its too late for that so its gonna be 9-0 maybe one or two vote against him but I still think its gonna be 9-0

Or even 5-4 because of Roberts dislike of Trump. Yes….5-4 Roberts siding with the rat judges! Trump wins regardless.

If it is not 9-0, the dissenting argument is sure going to be interesting. I just want it broad enough to squash the other states arguments to exclude Trump.

The article you posted doesn’t even mention Bank of America at all, and yes, I don’t think going to a bank to get cell phone data would be productive.

You get cell phone data from cell phone or tech companies like google, as mentioned in that article.

Besides the fact that it’s wrong, They are hoping to start a trend that eventually get Trump removed in all states, or as many swing states as possible.
Also, they want to suppress republican turn out in contested races down the ballot.
They also want to increase the popular vote margin for democrats so they can make that argument.
And if you take Trump off a ballot, it may further fracture the national vote because other candidates will get on the ballot to replace Trump.
