Justice Brett Kavanaugh Delivers Reality
Check to Colorado Attorney in Effort to
Exclude Trump from Ballot: ‘Trump Has
Not Been Charged with an Insurrection’

Original Article

During the Supreme Court oral arguments for Trump v. Anderson, Justice Brett Kavanaugh delivered a pointed reminder that former President Donald Trump has not been formally charged with insurrection. Thursday’s proceedings centered on the contested application of the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against insurrectionists holding office, which has been invoked in an attempt to disqualify Trump from the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision to keep President Trump off the 2024 Primary ballot in the state. The Colorado high court has been the only court to rule this way out of several decisions

I have listened to much of the hearing. The stars must have been perfectly aligned, as I heard multiple Justices correctly arguing what the Constitution says, one of whom was on the left. This could be a 9-0 ruling against Colorado. Won't look good on the resume.

FTA: "And, if you’re convicted of that..." And there lay the crux of the matter. President Donald Trump was never charged, nor tried, and certainly never convicted of "Insurrection," by the DOJ. How dare the Colorado Supreme Court arrogate power unto themselves to be the sole investigative body of a Federal crime without doing ANY investigation. Those who voted against putting him on the ballot need to be removed from the bench and have their law licenses revoked.

But who pays for the legal defense brought by the renegade Colorado/Anderson. The main attempt of all of these unsupported cases against Trump is to bleed him of money.

I've been to all three and relatives of mine from Connecticut still think that the Kumquat is doing a great job as president. I do think that Colorado tries hard to out stupid California. Ron White was right and I'm happy that Kavanaugh gave that slip and fall lawyer the business.

The direction this is going is pretty obvious. A 9-0 decision would constitute proof that the Colorado SC voted on a political lynching and not the law. Chalk it up to another failure by the Democrats to ‘get Trump’.

If this isn't a 9-0 decision (and at least two of the Libtards will probably side with Colorado), it is a reflection on the unsuitability for any judicial court let alone the Supreme Court of those who would vote to deny Trump his constitutional rights.

Exactly, Nos. 3 and 12. Colorado is dominated by California trans plants. Including the Governor of Colorado. Colorado is like many states, in that there are two states within its borders. Outside Denver/Boulder, there are some sane people. Problem is, the political power resides in the population centers.

Vice President Kamala Harris is facing growing criticism for her handling of the border crisis as the issue continues to weigh down President Joe Biden and his administration.

'She's been at best ineffective, and at worst sporadically engaged and not seeing it was her responsibility. It's an opportunity for her, and she didn't fill the breach,' the official told Axios.

Nearly two dozen Senate Republicans thumbed their noses at colleges and constituents by joining with Democrats to pass a massive $95 billion foreign aid bill. Adding insult to injury, a final vote of 70-29 with 22 Republicans in favor pushed through the bill that pours American taxpayer money into aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan while doing nothing to secure the U.S. border. With more than half of Senate Republicans voting against it during the overnight session, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was clear he placed no value on their arguments. He led the minority of 22 GOP lawmakers to hold hands with Democrats and get the bill passed. even delivering

San Diego Border Patrol agents have faced an untenable flood of Chinese migrants sneaking over the border each day, raising fears over the growing influence of the hostile state in the US. Border sources claim that 269 Chinese migrants were apprehended by CBP officials in a single day this week, according to Fox News' Bill Melugin - with the number not including those who manage to cross undetected. Chinese nationals now make up the largest growing demographic of migrants crossing the porous US-Mexico border. And 2024 is already well on-track to easily exceed the staggering 37,000 Chinese migrants who were apprehended by the CBP in the 2023 fiscal year.

In the aftermath of the release of the Hur Report last Wednesday, it's been all downhill for Joe Biden. On Tuesday, it got even worse — but let's first back up to Super Bowl Sunday for a minute. While Biden refused for the second year in a row to sit for a traditional Super Bowl interview, he did find time to sit for a ridiculous, fact-challenged lecture about how "big consumer brands" are ripping off shoppers. As RedState's Jennifer Van Laar reported, Biden's shtick was hilarious in its dishonesty from the outset. America, here's Joe— babbling about "shrinkflation."

Not only AOC and Bernie Sanders, but Biden warned Israel not go in because of the “humanitarian impact”. Israel went in and brought out two hostages. The IDF said it launched several airstrikes in Rafah as a diversion for the rescue operation. The rescue unit breached the building at 1:49 a.m. The force came down from the roof and detonated a bomb to breach a door on the second floor, eliminated the Hamas guards and picked up the two hostages.

Three multimillion-dollar homes in Southern California teeter precariously on the edge of a cliffside following a landslide over the weekend. The collapse occurred in Dana Point, Orange County, on Friday, and sent mud and debris sliding down the 150-feet chasm below. As of Sunday, no evacuations have been ordered, and engineering crews were assessing the structural integrity of the homes - the only three set on the cliffside. Residents of the affected properties have been advised to remain vigilant, and prepare for the looming possibility of relocation. The three affected homes are now largely left at the mercy of Mother Nature, though rains that recently inundated the region look to have past.
