This was expected, and I don't have any issue with it, despite the fact that Colorado's claim is absolutely correct.
As I said earlier, what I can't stand is that the four MAGA judges decided to take this ridiculous immunity case rather than rejecting it, and wait until the end of April to talk about their opinions. The sole purpose is to give Trump to a get out of jail free card, and to postpone Jan 6 Federal indictment case, which was originally scheduled this month.
"This was expected, and I don't have any issue with it, despite the fact that Colorado's claim is absolutely correct."
I agree. No need to bitch about this ruling. The Supreme Court wasn't going to kill the candidacy of one of the major party's frontrunners despite Colorado being on solid legal footing.
As for legal scholars, you should follow Lawrence Tribe, the preeminent Constitutional scholar who taught John Roberts and Elena Kagan Constitutional law at Harvard. Trump should have been disqualified from running for the presidency.
Not one of the protesters on Jan 6 had a weapon. No insurrection. If Tump had intended an insurrection, the protesters would be armed, and the country would now be referred to as the Trump States of America.
Oath Keepers jury hears about massive weapon cache on Jan. 6
Yes, January 6 Was a Heavily Armed Insurrection
The House committee’s final report and court documents further reveal that many Trump extremists brought guns.
Yes, Capitol Rioters Were Armed. Here Are The Weapons Prosecutors Say They Used
NPR and Mother Jones...please. Those are highly respected sources?
The Jan 6 House report was a sham, as no evidence was allowed to be entered by the defense. NOT DUE PROCESS.
I know it's useless to discuss anything with anyone who is convinced that their side can't do no wrong.
Those media sources were repeating the evidence presented in court. Of course, you geniuses will claim that evidence was presented by crooked prosecutors.
On January 6, it was reported that some of the crowd that was trying to see Trump speak could not get through the metal detectors because they had weapons, where Trump said (paraphrasing): "Let them in. They are my people. They are not here to hurt me."
I believe that was Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony to the January 6 Commission.
If you guys feel so strongly that there were only tourists attacking the Capitol on January 6, then you should be fine having a trial on the subject prior to the November election.
"The Supreme Court wasn't going to kill the candidacy of one of the major party's frontrunners despite Colorado being on solid legal footing."
What are you talking about? Trump has not been convicted of insurrection therefore Colorado has absolutely no legal grounds to remove him. their legal argument is essentially we dont like him so remove him.
"But then, of course, if Comrade Trump loses the 2024 election then it could ONLY be because the election was "rigged" and his victory was "stolen" - yet again! This is going to become the mode of attack for every losing narcistic candidate (regardless of their party) in every democratically run election, and we are going to be dealing with these kinds of nut-cases for years to come."
what? every side has accused the other side of cheating and stealing the election my entire life lol nothing new there, the only difference was 2020 wasn't just cheating in a few key counties, it was massive nationwide voter fraud.
"Oath Keepers jury hears about massive weapon cache on Jan. 6"
did they? or was it a van with a few rifles and some ammo several miles away?
"Yes, Capitol Rioters Were Armed. Here Are The Weapons Prosecutors Say They Us"
now your just being tricky with language, some of them had "arms" like pocket knives and brass knuckles, no one had any guns
"On January 6, it was reported that some of the crowd that was trying to see Trump speak could not get through the metal detectors because they had weapons, where Trump said (paraphrasing): "Let them in. They are my people. They are not here to hurt me."
I believe that was Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony to the January 6 Commission."
The January 6 Commission was a press conference, nothing legally binding about it, no one was under oath, there was no "testimony" they just lied and made shit up to make manipulatable people get upset. and it worked. The one thing the democrats are really good at is producing a false narrative to manipulate the voters.
"If you guys feel so strongly that there were only tourists attacking the Capitol on January 6, then you should be fine having a trial on the subject prior to the November election."
Yes I wish that would happen, discovery cuts both ways tho and I'm sure the Capitol police and Pelosi do not want that to happen at all costs.
Trump is going to win Bigly in November and I cant wait to see you all cry about it, maybe even claim Trump stole the election haha which was the narrative in 2016, or can you not remember that far back haha
Marrisa_G Those case you posted on the last blog were all decided with legal process, such as lack of standing, Not decided by any evidence or investigation. There has not been any investigations into the election allowed into the courts. There have been 3rd party investigations that found tons of fraud lol but no judge will see it
Funny that many here are more worried about Trump being allowed on the ballot. But does not appear worried about the current path of the country as a whole. There are 10 million new charity cases waiting for a hand out from Bidens new world order. Where's the money coming from to house, feed, and care for them coming from? The government? Lol. No! Its coming out of our pockets.
"Yeah, that's what happens when the "evidence" is not real evidence but merely accusations. The judges won't allow it in because it just obscures the facts and can inappropriately influence the jury.
Under certain circumstances, a judge may allow "hearsay" into evidence but that is rare."
Wow that's impressive that a judge could deem evidence not real with out ever seeing the evidence lol
There has been no Court cases that allowed evidence of voter fraud to be presented.. its almost like there is a concerted effort to suppress the truth
if there was no voter fraud than full investigations should be a no brainer but there was voter fraud hence the enormous effort to convince you there wasn't. Im pretty sure you are all double digit IQs lmao
This was a foregone conclusion, why are we even discussing a slam dunk.
Thank God Rash Cream is OK with it or we'd have to reverse SCOTUS.
Hate to break it to the Prog idiots but legal interpretation is hard, yo!
Actually, I'd include the far right idiots in that comment, to be fair.
Evabody throwing around section 3 of the 14th, as if they actually know what each word means.
Defining what they meant by "insurrection" alone could take months.
Recall Clinton's words "it depends on the meaning of the word 'is'".
He was not bullshitting and there's an element of truth in there.
Nobody wants to hear that, though.
It's either hang 'em high or sainthood, no gray areas for this pack of rabid wolves.
Hypocrisy of this far-right extremists court is that they are conveniently originalists, having gutted both federal protection for abortion and voting rights so that each state can make decision separately, and they were totally UNCONCERNED about the chaos both decisions created, but all of a sudden on this Colorado case, they are no longer originalists, and concerned about the chaos it may create.
Unanimous decision. That means the liberals, the moderates, the leftists, and the conservatives on the court think your opinion is full of shit. Perhaps you should look in the mirror.
Insurrectionists' biggest crime was their attempt to suppress our legal votes, first by trying to seize the voting machines, then via fake electors, and by physical forces at the end.
Thanks to MAGA and their violent insurrectionists, and Current Supreme court's far right extremists for gutting the core of 1964 Voting Rights Act.
By making all the voting related issues up to the decisions by each state legislatures, voting suppression became normalized. Voters were intimidated and terrorized at the ballot boxes, poll workers were equally threatened for their lives if the results were not the linking of far-right extremists.
That is the reality we have to face now.
When Democrats take over the House in 2024, they will subpoena Clarence Thomas for his unethical behaviors for sure.
If Yellowjackets (YellowB2) is indeed a lawyer, I am positive that he must be affiliated with the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank for bunch of lawyers located in Claremont California, a home of insurrectionists and revolutionists, such as John Eastman (he was a clerk for Clarence Thomas by the way).
One of its Larry P. Arnn became 12th Hillsdale College, and they are doing their scheme to privatize all of our public schools based on Christianity.
All these far-rights extremists are connected with each other. Having Trump became a convenient factor for them, because of his anarchistic violent impulses to destroy the establishment.
^ Are you a real person?
Or, a creation of Gemini chatbot?
Kudos for doubling down on crazy with every post lol
Rash Cream - Exponential Wokerati Extraordinaire
That is a mix of english/latin/french to be exact, so I believe you should have written as
exponentialis wokerati extraordinariis (All Latin, I may be wrong)
But joking aside, Wokeism is not a bad word for me, because that means at least I am aware of what is happening around the world, whereas MAGA is an amalgam of dreamers of their golden past (whatever that means), and their refusal to walk straight ahead to make their new way, or they decision of sleepwalking surrounded by lies and disinformation.
wokeism also, to me, refers to the fact that I am not delusional about the oppression and aggression and fear-mongering by privileged elite that holds back social progress and cultural advancement.
The anti-“woke” are using the same arguments as the Luddites of generations before.
Fear of the Other, an unspoken foreign enemy to rally around.
Fear of a culture leaving their ways of the world behind
Fear of being forgotten
Fear of being remembered as a bad joke and as social primitives
Fear of “no longer holding the steering wheel” of the direction of the community and nation
Fear of being called out for malice, disguised as “this is the way it used to be and should be.”
Fear of not being able to adapt.
“ The art of betrayal has been perfected by the former Trump administration. Look at how many have been convicted and gone to jail.
He has betrayed the American people.”
'Just devastating': U.S. searching for stack of intelligence on Russia missing under Trump
In the waning days of the Trump administration, thousands of pages of intelligence on Russia's interference in the 2016 election, last seen in the hands of Trump administration officials, went missing and have yet to be found, according to reports. Peter Strzok, former FBI counter-intelligence agent, talks with Alex Wagner about the extraordinary sensitivity of the materials and the damage U.S. intelligence would suffer if the contents of those intelligence reports is compromised.
CIA admits to losing dozens of informants around the world: NYT
Of course you're going to criticize the source of this information, but regardless of the source, this is the reason traitorous scum like Trump should not be allowed anywhere near classified information.
None of you could argue that Trump's storage of Top Secret classified information in a ballroom and bathroom open to the public was not an enormous mistake. Trump, famous for his lack of ethics, would sell out our country in a second for his own personal gain. The damage this country has suffered through Trump is immeasurable.
Trump is the biggest traitor that this country has ever had.
Russian interference on 2016 election and Trump and Kremlin/Putin friendship was already proven in 2020 by Senate Intelligence Committee;
"The nearly 1,000-page report outlines the 'breathtaking level of contacts between Trump officials and Russian government operatives that is a very real counterintelligence threat to our elections,' Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the committee's top Democrat, said in a statement."
Still Rs are bending their knees to Trump at this point is how degraded and corrupted Rs became.
