    This decision will also help force the SCOTUS to rule on this sooner, rather than later and will slap down Colorado unconstitutional ruling and quite other states from this type of anti democratic rhetoric.

    Michigan got it right. I'm surprised, actually.

    If libs are so certain that Biden would beat Trump, then they should be fighting like hell to keep him on the ballot.

    I dislike Trump, I wouldn’t vote for him and I never have. But Trump hasn’t been convicted in a court of law of being an insurrectionist. In fact, none of the 91 federal charges accuse Trump of being an insurrectionist nor does the state cases in New York or Georgia. In this country one is presumed innocent until proven guilty. That hasn’t happened, yet. I agree, the SCOTUS needs to take up these two contradictory rulings asap.

    I agree that colorados ruling was unconstitutional. We will see how it plays out in the end and I’m 100% sure the Supreme Court will prove it to be unconstitutional

    The SCOTUS is the tank for the GOP and Trump.
    The Election of 2016 clinched that...
    Obviously, the SC will rule in Trump's favor. 100% Certain.

    The whole thing, along with several others, is just democratic abuses of power for political gain.

    I'm game....How do we do that? I don't live in either Colorado or Michigan....

    OTOH, it's so much more fun to watch his orange turn red when the king of the losers loses more.......

    They've done a pretty decent job of sticking it to him from time to time, but when the chips are down, they'll toe his line as expected...

    Actually, it's probably best for everybody if he's not on the ballot.... America won't have to listen to him lie and whine about another stolen election.

    It's really his best out.... he should be fighting like hell to be off the ballot.... imagine the grift money he could make off of that. Probably not as good as President money, but not bad...

    It is so funny hearing you guys beat the "Biden has dementia" drum when it's far more obvious that Trump has some serious cognitive issues.

    I personally don't think he will be on the ballot. The DNC will tell him to drop out for the good of the country and Biden will say he's dropping out for a family emergency or to be with his son to help with his legal problems.

    Far more obvious? You must not watch Biden on TV.

    If the Clintons can make tens of millions of dollars giving speeches, what kind of cash do you think Trump could pull in? I'm betting a lot more.

    I am always amazed how Democrats look at the constitution with a microscope wanting everyone to focus on a phrase or sentence so it can be interpreted in some other fashion, without realizing the entire document governs itself.
    Which is why they lose their SCOUTS ruling so always.
    Be it the 2nd amendment
    The emoluments clause
    Abortion issue
    Mandating vaccines & mask
    Jack Smiths attempt to leap frog over appellant courts
    Expanding the SCOTUS
    Student debts

    Democrats figured if they can’t have the politicized Supreme Court they want, they will demonize and undermine the non-politicized Supreme Court they don’t.

    Which brings us to the latest hearing. Consistent with the strategy, it was titled “Building Confidence in the Supreme Court Through Ethics and Recusal Reforms.” The title furthers the spin that confidence must be rebuilt because it has crumbled in the face of unethical behavior by Republican-appointed justices

    The Supreme Court should have an ethics code, the spin goes, because lower-court judges as well as the legislative and executive branches have one. That, however, is an observation, not an argument, and it wrongly implies that the lower courts and Supreme Court are equals and that the three branches are simply interchangeable.

    I do.
    You must not watch Trump or read his posts or listen to his interviews or even know who he is.
