It is instructive for all Americans that the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled unanimously in President Trump’s favor, concerning what should have been an obvious legal fact in constitutional law. The Court asserted that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment (an “insurrection” disqualification, originally aimed at post–Civil War Confederate candidates who might otherwise have had differing views on whether, or from whom, there was an “insurrection”) is not within the purview of the states and is, rather, a potential congressional judgment. The more conservative justices also noted that such a potential latitude of Congress is still subject to judicial review,...

Joshua 1:9 (King James Version) Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. The Supreme Court decision proved once again the Communist Party will break every law and tell any law to maintain their iron grip on America. Everyone knew it was going to be a win although very few could predict it would be a 9-0 win while the Leftists wail as if their favorite cat just died by a hit and run driver. Perhaps you should...

Fox News host and former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) urged former President Trump not to take a victory lap after the Supreme Court ruled Monday that states cannot bar him from the ballot in this fall’s presidential election. “I would encourage him to do something that he doesn’t often do, which is show humility because there are other decisions that are coming that he may not agree with,” Gowdy said on Fox. “I don’t think he’s going to win the presidential immunity case before the court.” Gowdy’s comments were first highlighted by Mediaite.The court voted Monday, by unanimous decision, to...

VIDEOLook at the CRAZY EYES of Colorado Secretary Of State Jena Griswold as she reacts to the Supreme Court knocking down her crackpot idea by a UNANIMOUS vote for keeping President Trump off her state's ballot. If her CRAZY EYES look familiar it is because they are the same CRAZY EYES we have seen on other extreme fanatics. And if CRAZY EYES Griswold is this fanatic, you can expect her to do everything in her power to "fortify" the election this year in Colorado. Legal or NOT.

Keith Olbermann called for the Supreme Court to be dissolved and took aim at the court’s Democratic-appointed justices, after a unanimous ruling on Monday kept former President Trump on the presidential primary ballot. “The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy. Its members including Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension,” he said, referring to Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

Progressives bashed the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that states could not disqualify former President Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 presidential ballot, with some even suggesting that the court be “dissolved.” In a historic ruling, the Supreme Court said only Congress can disqualify a federal candidate from the ballot using the Fourteenth Amendment’s “Insurrection Clause.” The ruling — which comes right before Super Tuesday — overturned a 4-3 opinion from the Colorado Supreme Court in December that banned Trump from appearing on the ballot. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D-CO) said in a post on X she was...

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...

Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann appeared on MSNBC to discuss the US Supreme Court’s decision to agree to hear Trump’s immunity argument in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 case in Washington, DC. The high court will hear oral arguments on an expedited schedule the week of April 22 and decide by the end of the term in June or sooner. Judge Tanya Chutkan postponed the March 4 trial date indefinitely as Trump’s immunity argument makes its way through the courts. Jack Smith’s January 6 trial may be postponed past November and Mueller’s ‘pitbull’ Andrew Weissmann isn’t taking it well. “By...

VIDEOMSNBC went into a state of deep deep mourning when the news broke that the Supreme Court will take up President Trump's immunity appeal thus delaying the trial for more months to come and likely past the November election. Of special note is former judge Michael Luttig whose crackpot Lawfare idea that states can use the 14th Amendment to remove Trump from the ballot is currently being laughed out of the Supreme Court. With his crackpot idea being laughed away, Luttig was profoundly saddened by the news that the J6 trial will probably be delayed past the election. His face...

The Supreme Court heard a case this week in which, by following the Constitution, it can help states save money, electricity generation, and lives while lower courts consider a legal challenge to strict new regulations that President Joe Biden is trying to impose. In agency after agency, Biden’s appointees wildly exceed their legal authority, which is why radical new regulations have been struck down so often by courts in areas from education to energy to immigration to health, among others. This time the power grabbers come from the Environmental Protection Agency. Regulatory law is complicated, and several states are challenging...

John Oliver has offered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas $1m a year if he leaves the court immediately. On a recent episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the show host declared, “This is not a joke”, as he waved a contract at the screen and asked the judge to “get the f*** off the Supreme Court.” He added that on top of the million a year, he would throw in a motor coach worth $2.4m in return for the judge leaving the United States’ highest court – making reference with this offer to previous motor coach coverage, which...

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday responded to President Trump’s emergency application requesting the high court pause the immunity ruling in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC. Chief Justice Roberts on Tuesday responded to Trump’s emergency request and told Special Counsel Jack Smith he has a week to respond. The Supreme Court gave Jack Smith until Tuesday, February 20 to file a response to Trump’s request to pause the appellate court’s ruling on immunity. Last week a federal appeals court stacked with Biden judges denied Trump immunity in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 DC case. The three-judge panel...

In all states except Pennsylvania, a presidential nominee of a qualified party need not file any documents himself or herself to get on the November ballot. Instead, presidential nominees of qualified parties get on the general election ballot automatically. The state party officers send the names of that party’s presidential elector candidates to the state elections office, and the party’s certification also notifies the state of whom the electors are pledged to. Challenges to former President Donald Trump this year, and last year, have been challenges to his appearance on presidential primary ballots. Generally, when a candidate must file some...

The US Supreme Court on Friday declined to block West Point’s race-based admissions program that discriminates against whites while a lawsuit against the military academy makes its way through the lower courts. Recall that last year the Supreme Court crushed the racist ‘Affirmative Action’ policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. The High Court ruled 6-2 in the Harvard case with liberal justice Ketanji Brown Jackson opting out. The Supreme Court justices ruled 6-3 in the University of North Carolina case brought by Students for Fair Admission (SFFA). The conservative justices said the race-based affirmative action policies violated...

The existential fate of the First Amendment of the US Constitution rests in the hands of the Supreme Court and whether the high court of appeal will strike down 18 U.S.C. 1512(c)(2), the most serious criminal charges leveled against former President Donald Trump and an ever-growing number of January 6 defendants. 1512 criminalizes any effort to “corruptly” obstruct, influence or impede any official proceeding.” A conviction can result in a prison sentence of up to 20 years. Last April, an appellate court issued a splintered 2-1 ruling endorsing the DOJ’s unprecedented misuse of the statute, a law passed under the...

Student group requested high court block race-based admissions at the academy amid ongoing legal battle.. West Point defended using race in its admissions process in response to a student group's request that the Supreme Court force the military academy to pause the practice while a lawsuit makes its way through lower courts. "For more than forty years, our Nation’s military leaders have determined that a diverse Army officer corps is a national-security imperative," U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar wrote in a Tuesday court filing. "Achieving that diversity requires limited consideration of race in selecting those who join the Army as...

Now is the moment in history to apply Justice Robert Jackson’s famous adage, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” Except, in the context of the Supreme Court in effect declaring an open border invasion on Texas, the Constitution is on our side. The court and the Biden administration are abrogating the charter, which is why Texas must ignore both of them, protect its people, and follow the Constitution. Texas is experiencing an invasion of several million people per year coming from 150 countries. The Compact Clause in Article I, section 10 states clearly, “No State shall, without the Consent...

Archer has denied that he intended to defraud anyone and claimed that prosecutors have relied on circumstantial evidence. he Supreme Court rejected former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer's appeal of his criminal conviction in connection to a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe. Archer was convicted in 2018 and sentenced to just over a year in prison in 2022 for defrauding a Native American tribe of $60 million in bonds. The Supreme Court refused to hear Archer's appeal challenging his sentence on Monday. Archer is out on bail, and the court's rejection of his appeal means his conviction...

The state of Texas will not give up on its efforts to secure its borders after the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government had the right to intervene. In a ruling on Tuesday, the Supreme Court decided by a 5-4 majority that federal officials had the right to remove physical barriers erected by the Texas National Guard. Two supposedly conservative judges, Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barett, sided with the Biden administration, while Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch dissented. The decision vacated a previous injunction from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals...
