As Spencer reported, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously 9-0 Monday morning that states cannot take former President Donald Trump off of the 2024 presidential ballot. (X) In her written opinion on the ruling, Justice Amy Coney Barrett explained the message she believes Americans should take away from the decision. "In my judgment, this is not the time to amplify disagreement with stridency. The Court has settled a politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election.

So Barrett issues an opinion that basically cover-up how the 3 hardcore fascist in black robes were forced to agree to something. By the way, the 3 fascist issue a separate opinion saying they agreed that states shouldn't decide this but Congress (even though the amendment says only congress) should be the lone arbiter of the amendment. So they agreed to one thing, not the Constitution. And this separate opinion will be used to launch new law fare suits going forward.

she doesn't have to explain anything to us ... this was a totally violation of the Constitution and reeked of sedition and Treason - the hangman should be installed in D.C. when our President returns to office and, as in Paris during the French Revolution, the executions should begin ... immediately ... with comrade obama being the first to test the strength of the hangman's noose

ACB, we don't care about your views about "not amplifying our disagreement" or "the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up." That's not your job, dummy. Disqualification under the 14th Amendment explicitly does not pertain to the President.

Agree #3, but if another case comes before the Court wherein the country is equally divided, is ACB going to get out her thermometer and measure the temperature of the country and decide to make a decision based on lowering the temperature of the country or will she abide by the Constitution regardless of the outcome? If she is afraid to decide based solely on the Constitution, then we have nothing more than a SCOTUS that makes decisions on feelings. So whomever makes the biggest fuss can sway a Supreme Court Justice? The SCOTUS should make decisions solely on the Constitution and the Law. They are not there to make sure the country is happy. There are there to make hard decisions. It’s why they are paid the big bucks.

This ruling actually gave the Democrats the new template for how to stop Trump "legally". They made Congress the final arbiter. Does that make you feel this issue has been settled? Now the Democrats have already started scurrying like crazy to make that happen, and not just before the election, but possibly even AFTER winning the election. How does that grab you...a Democrat and RINO controlled Congress being able to create a law that can essentially limit who you can vote for not just in 2024 but in the future?

The Three Amigas aren’t happy because the majority saw through the Lawfare game and cut it all off at the knees. As a result of this decision: 1- In Justice Department prosecutions during Trump’s second term, no defendant can raise as a defense that the prosecution is illegitimate because Trump is/was/might have been an insurrectionist; 2 – A rogue Lawfare federal prosecutor can’t gin up a case against Trump (or anyone else) under any currently existing federal law, and then use it to bootstrap their way into an “insurrectionist” finding under Section 3; and 3 – The path to disqualification from federal office using ANY Article 3 argument has been completely cut off, and going forward would require Congressional legislation specifically authorizing and defining it. The short of it is, these guys aren’t stupid. They got Lawfare’s number, understand exactly what they are up to, and pushed out an early decision that says “We’re not allowing ANY of this.” From her Concurrence, it appears that what the majority did in this case flew right over Barrett’s head.

This statement is OUT TO LUNCH... The Court has settled a politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election. Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up," Barrett wrote. Leftists/Democrats/Communists, but I repeat myself, are totally Fuming about this. SO Much for your trying to turn down the temperature...you're exceedingly NAIVE.

So Keith Olbermann writes on X, obscenities "F##K" three times to attempt to deal with his disappointment in and anger at the three liberal female justices. The comment was allowed by the AI used by X to screen comments instantly. Amazing! When one of Klaus Schwabs advisors stated that there are too many people and we don't need all of these people I, too, got angry and commented on X that I thought that he might start the depopulation by committing suicide. The comment was instantly disallowed because of the word suicide and I am kicked off X unless I delete the comment and replace it with a different one. I assume it was automatically deleted anyhow....so crazy!

Donald Trump has been decisively declared the winner of the California GOP Presidential primary race and the 169 delegates. President Trump was declared the winner in a twelfth-state moments after the polls closed in California at 11 pm ET. Trump later soared to 73% of the vote when 35% of the results were in.

Both RealClearPolitics' polling average and Five Thirty-Eight's polling average show Trump leading Biden in the majority of the recent national polls on the 2024 presidential race.
