Someone had the balls to finally do it! Fantastic news. There's no way this doesn't end up going to the Supreme Court though and that could be a shit show

What I would do to be part of the team that gets to argue before the supreme court on:
-
The overwhelming evidence of the existence of the 'alternative legislator slate'/'Vice President' conspiracy.
-
That said conspiracy's critical legal argument, as to the Vice President's role in "open[ing] all the certificates", showed clear malicious intent at circumvention of constitutional and federal law.
-
That - regardless of the veracity of point 2 - the conspiracy's legal backing was officially dismissed in Texas district court on Jan 1st, and in the appeals court the next day.
-
That - despite point 3 - president Trump and his personal lawyers continued to individually take multiple actions up to and on Jan 6th to coordinate the conspiracy, including inciting a threat of violence over the capital building.
Until you realize the supreme Court will probably rule against you because fuck America.
Bet you $1 that they take up the case, putting a hold on the CO ruling, then sit on it until after the election.
Considering that likelihood, said dollar ain't gonna be worth much soon enough. 😅😶
But "The court stayed its decision until Jan. 4, or until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the case. Colorado officials say the issue must be settled by Jan. 5, the deadline for the state to print its presidential primary ballots."
So... another way to get out of actually enforcing any real consequences.
I've read your post a couple of times. What do you mean?
Is the date set, a way to avoid enforcing the disqualification? To me it sounds like a date that epecifically is set to enforce the result of the issue
If the highest court agrees to hear the case, and if it is still in process when Colorado’s ballot hits its certification deadline on Jan. 5, the Justices ordered that Trump’s name should be included on the GOP primary ballot, ahead of the court’s final decision.
So if the Supreme Court agrees to hear an appeal, and doesn't decide before the deadline, Trump's name will be included on the ballot.
Still though. If the name is in the ballot and he is disqualified after that, clearly he can't be voted on!? I mean even if hebgetsbelleceted at the primary and is deemed unfit after the elections, I'd like to think he can be removed. Being on a ballot does not make him fit by itself
What theUnlikely said. They've postponed their decision taking effect until the day before the cut off. If the SCOTUS agrees to hear the appeal, which they probably will, there is zero chance they will rule before January 5th. SCOTUS may not even respond as to whether they will take the case until the cut off, what with the holidays. I'm just very cynical. They should have had their judgement applied immediately and only stayed if the higher court responded instead of the other way around.
