You’re darn Skippy BD. They (Right-wing judges) are scared to do the right thing! 😨

Roberts and his right-wing cohorts (who literally Lied their way onto the U.S. Supreme Court) now have a huge decision to make.

And they want NO parts of any of it!

I think they are scared to do the right thing though. I would not be surprised if they let a lower court ruling stand and stayed out of it. We will see this week.

Hey Wil, thanks for sharing this article!

I don’t think the U. S. Supreme Court has any choice but to render a decision on this matter. And soon!

Yep, they’ll be looked upon as “d*nmed if they do and d*mned if they don’t.” But a definitive ruling needs to rendered in order to avoid more chaos and confusion among all of the states.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled against Trump in a Dec. 19 decision that Trump immediately appealed. The ruling is on hold while the Supreme Court hears the case, meaning Trump remains on the ballot ahead of the March 5 Republican primary.

The case raises various undecided legal questions, including whether the constitutional language applies to those running for president and who gets to decide whether someone engaged in insurrection.

In Trump’s own brief on Jan. 18, his lawyers outlined several grounds on which they believe the Colorado court ruling was wrong, saying a ruling against the former president would “unleash chaos and bedlam.”

Among other things, they cite language in the constitutional provision at issue that says it only applies to someone seeking to serve as an “officer of the United States.” They argue that the president is not an officer of the United States.

They also argue that that Trump did not “engage in insurrection” and that only Congress can enforce the provision in question.

“The court should put a swift and decisive end to these ballot-disqualification efforts, which threaten to disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.

In Friday’s brief, the challengers said that Trump’s legal position is “less legal than it is political.” Seizing on the “bedlam” remark, the lawyers said Jan. 6 was already evidence of what Trump is capable of doing.

“Section 3 is designed precisely to avoid giving oath-breaking insurrectionists like Trump the power to unleash such mayhem again,” the lawyers wrote.
