Our nasty wee Stalinists just got crushed by this UNANIMUS DECISON. To clarify for ou sharktwit and blobbie that mean a 9 to nil verdict.
This blatant anti democratic move by the demonrats exposed them for who they are. NOT democrats but nasty conniving Stalinists.
It looks to me that their lawfare is also failing. Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Mozzietard will be open his third bottle of whatever he is drinking these days to drown his sorrow! After Super Tuesday he will be even more unhappy! Perhaps rigging will help stop Trump winning Looks like our last chance apart from assassination.
The US Supreme Court on Monday unanimously ruled Trump can stay on the Colorado primary 2024 ballot.
The Supreme Court said the states lack the power to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution against Presidential candidates.
“For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand,” the high court’s ruling said.
The Supreme Court on Monday tossed out a Colorado court ruling that barred Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot because of a provision in the U.S. Constitution related to people who engage in insurrection.
The unanimous decision in Trump’s favor by the Supreme Court — which means votes he garners on Tuesday’s ballot will count for the former president — was not a surprise.
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.
It was unanimous.
“All nine Members of the Court agree with that result. Our colleagues writing separately further agree with many of the reasons this opinion provides for reaching it,” the Supreme Court’s ruling said.
Trump fired off a response.
BIG WIN FOR AMERICA
President Trump is currently battling similar challenges in Maine and Illinois.
The US Constitution has three requirements to be president:
- Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
- Be at least 35 years old.
- Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.
