On Supreme Court hearing on Feb 9, 2024

 

The authority to decide how elections are conducted was given to the states in the Constitution.  SCOTUS can leave it with the states to determine whether somebody should be on their ballot by just defining an insurrection for everybody. The court simply has to create a legal test for what is an insurrection, as they have with so many other issues.

Stop quibbling over the definition of insurrection. Let’s use our common sense!

We’re losing our vitality as a country when we can’t even call something that’s as plain as day a nationally televised insurrection, that resulted in hundreds of convictions, and that we have evidence that the president both planned and looked the other way when it was happening. 

And don’t forget Trumpster was impeached for trying to create an insurrection and overthrow the government.  And he very nearly was convicted - 57 in favor of conviction! 

 And what about the Dobbs decision which left it to the states? Let's at least be consistent! 

Do not undermine our ability to hold someone accountable who tries to illegally grab power . 

And to the court's whining about having to rule on this matter, Madame and Mr. Justice don’t take this job if you’re not willing to handle the big issues.  That's the job description.

US Supreme Court was very disrespectful toward the Colorado Supreme Court. We have a federal system. There are some exceptions when it comes to the Supreme Court but don't be so goddamn condescending.  Their counsel handled the justices questions very well, too.
