#1 The Supreme Court voted unanimously to allow Donald Trump to remain on the Colorado state ballot on Monday, reversing the lower court’s ruling,

"The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand,” the justices wrote. "All nine Members of the Court agree with that result."

Last year, left-wing groups launched a nationwide effort to exclude Trump from primary ballots, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. While most states have rejected these attempts, the Colorado Supreme Court declared Trump ineligible in December. Maine's Secretary of State eventually followed suit. Last week, a leftist judge in Illinois removed Trump from the state ballot as well.

"We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency,” the ruling states.

#3 All nine justices agree? Even Obama and Biden appointees? Kagan, Sotomayor and even Ketanji Brown Jackson (who doesn't even know what a woman is) know the Colorado justices overstepped their authority. There should be laws that prohibit these types of obviously erroneous and politically motivated rulings and provisions for punishment for judicial misconduct.

#5 I think this one was a Hail Mary that those pushing it never quite believed they'd pull it off - if the decision had gone the other way, they'd be in the same position as the dog who finally catches the car.

And the Usual Suspects are already screaming about the 'corrupt' Supreme Court, unanimous verdict be damned. Some of the stuff showing up on TwiX right now is calling for an immediate dissolving of SCOTUS.

So, just a brief summary:

* The NY AG got a guilty verdict against DJT, most or all of which will probably be overturned on appeal and which has started doing economic damage
to NYC in that big spenders are concerned about what will happen to THEM if they piss off an AG.... so they're getting out of town.
* The Manhattan DA got a civil verdict against DJT, which is far from locked in and is likely to be lowered and/or altered on appeal.
* The Cobb County DA in Georgia is watching her plan sink in ever widening evidence of corruption on her part.
* The possession of classified documents trial is running into issue after issue.
* SCOTUS just said, "Congress has to make the call, not you goobers at the state level."

Stay tuned, brothers. This is gonna be a bumpy ride to November.

#9 its the duty of the supremes to ensure that rulings/laws are constitutional. we need a constitution re-write which discards all amendments above 10 and adds 2... discrimination shall not be allowed based upon color or shape skin... and ...all federal elections shall be on hand-counted paper ballots submitted in person on election day.

#13  Greg Abbott Touts 'Huge News' About Texas Border

Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Monday hailed "huge news" from an appeals court ruling pertaining to the U.S.-Mexico border.

In recent months, Abbott, a Republican, and his administration have been engaged in a heated back-and-forth with federal forces over who has the authority over the southern border. Abbott, like many others in the GOP, has characterized the recent influx of migrants crossing into the U.S. as a "crisis" and has attempted to leverage more authority for his state government to police the situation. Legal experts have countered that the U.S. Constitution grants the federal government authority over matters concerning immigration.

#15 Section 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.


Looks like Washington has broken the contract.
