Yesterday the Supreme Court heard Colorado’s Solicitor General and her people try to convince the Supreme Court that the state (thus any state) had the power to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot this coming November, on the grounds that he violated the 14th amendment – i.e. he was involved in an insurrection against the United States of America.
The fact that there no actual evidence he did so, and the fact that he has neither been tried and convicted of any such thing? Who cares.
Hey, if they can hit Trump for almost $90 million dollars on a “rape” case with no evidence, no witnesses, no actual date of rape (not even the year) and which allegedly occurred decades beyond the statute of limitations for everyone else accused of rape, and nail him for fraud on his real estate holdings despite there being no complainants – not one, why not insurrection? Hey let’s throw in the Lindbergh kidnapping for good measure.
There is no decision yet from the Supreme Court (though I suspect, given the implications for other states, there will be in very little time).
But the assessment of every news venue I have heard or read, from left to right, is that, based on their questions and comments, Supreme Court members – maybe all of them, regardless of political leanings -see this as being the ridiculous, get-Trump farce it is.
We’ll soon find out.
