After months of back and forth SCOTUS has rendered a ruling on whether Trump can be on the ballad or not….
And like most sane people thought the court would side with Trump….after all one political hack covering for another.
Donald Trump scored a massive victory in the 2024 election on Monday—and it came from the Supreme Court, not the voting booth. The court ruled unanimously that the former president should not be disqualified from appearing on the ballot in Colorado because of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, reports the Washington Post.
- Not a surprise: The court heard arguments last month, and both conservative and liberal justices appeared to be reluctant to keep him off the ballot. Trump had challenged Colorado’s decision to exclude him.
- Impact: Had the Colorado ruling stood, Trump likely would have been removed from the ballot in states around the country. Thus, Monday’s decision “was the court’s most important ruling concerning a presidential election since Bush v. Gore handed the presidency to George W. Bush in 2000,” per the New York Times.
- Unusually fast: This ruling came much faster than most, with the court apparently rushing to issue it before this week’s Super Tuesday voting, when Colorado and more than a dozen other states vote in primaries. Trump is expected to further cement his giant lead over Nikki Haley in the Republican race.
- The clause: Colorado’s top court declared that Trump engaged in insurrection and thus should be disqualified from running again under a clause in the 14th Amendment. Read about the rationale here.
The spineless justices have made their intentions known….this is just another step to get Trump in the White House…..by hook or crook.
We have not heard the end of this there will be media coverage and analysis for the day or so…..but will it take a back seat Tuesday to the primaries….after all it is Super Tuesday when 15 states hold their primaries.
But what does this ruling mean?

All those negative predictions have come into being….and that slime ball Trump gets another win and it will probably apply to any others that try to throw his ass off their tickets.
One step closer!

It seems that everyoone except the Democrats is trying hard to make Trump a shoo-in for the win in November. Hard not to sense a wider conspiracy in action.
Best wishes, Pete.
Even the 3 liberal judges vote with the majority….there is a whiff of conspiracy around. chuq
Decision had nothing to do with helping Trump. Congress crafts federal election rules and states do state and local and their rules cannot conflict with supremacy clause of Constitution. The justices are not spineless. Their compass is not democrat or republican as it’s sole North Star is the Constutution. As Trump hating left sees it, if ruling doesn’t go their way the court is illigitimate. The contention that Trump tried to overturn the election is absurd and preposterous . You think a few hundred yokels are going to reduce 3 million US troops to complete subservience and rendered powerless ? Colorado’s supreme court decisions are irrelevant. They don’t decide US federal policies or over turn the rules and stipulations of congress. Trump is not guilty of anything based on the twisted opinions of the Trump haters and he’s not guilty merely because they say he is. Oh, and by the way, I voted for Nikki Haley in North Carolina primary.
I dis agree their ‘compass’ is definitely conserv….there was more than a few hundred but that is debatable I guess….chuq
