  1. There was an "uncomfortably" sizable amount of commentary from the "Justices" during opening "arguments" which might tend to indicate that they are somewhat disposed to a view that the 14th Amendment is the problem here and not Donald Trump's involvement in an insurrection ; I see absolutely no legal basis for a decision based on that "viewpoint" (like ; WHERE would that be coming from ????)!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ crash course, Thanks. I have subscribed.

  3. I’m more curious as to how the justices will respond to the Civil War and Reconstruction historians who say Trump is disqualified under the 14th amendment, and their historical history on how it was applied then.

  4. January 6th proved Donald J Trump was in violation of the US Constitutional Bill of Rights and he violated numerous constitutional amendments. He jeopardized democracy of the United States and violated domestic national security. I think the rest of the country should take note from. Colorados state actions and do the same. The court is being crazy to even considering Trumps name should be on the ballot. Obviously it’s showing crimes are acceptable and a big hole in the American US judicial system.

  5. Unfortunately, there is simply no way the federal justices can just hand the power to remove candidates to states. The statute applies to the highest offices at the national level. Allowing lower levels of government to remove officers clearly higher up is simply not how hierarchy works. This won't go through, and Colorado should have been more careful.

  6. Despite Trump claiming Democrats are attacking him,

    it's also many well-known Republicans who are opposing Trump.

    This case's lead petitioner is a Republican.

  7. Kick him off the ballot. Let him cake.

  8. The argument that suggests that section 3 of the amendment does not apply to a candidate is ridiculous . Otherwise, as a candidate, Jefferson Davis , would have been eligible to run for office.

  9. A man is as good as his word.

    In your sinful state “ye must be born again” – The Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy One of God.

    The kingdom of God is not within you until you have submitted yourself to the righteousness of Christ first. Obey the gospel and you will have peace with God. If you disobey by not acknowledging that you need a Savior then you will not have peace with God nor eternal life.

    “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Your soul is eternal!)

    Isaiah 45:21
    … WHO HATH TOLD IT from that time? HAVE NOT I THE LORD? and THERE IS NO GOD else BESIDE ME; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

  11. Jim Jordan should subpoena Marc Elias along with Nancy Pelosi and Ray Epps. #Fedsurrectioin

  12. The reason why Congress was left out of this disqualification decision in the 14th amendment was and is cuz Congress could itself be infested with insurrectionists. Look at how Trump has MAGA Congress people in his pocket. The bipartisan Borden deal is the best example!

  13. Biden has been a nightmare for this country . Trump 2024 ! 🇺🇸

  14. I agree with the Supreme Court, let the Congress decide.

  15. Good job and delivery, Kate Shaw!

  16. if the supreme court doesnt follow the constitution then its not worth the paper its printed on.

  17. Previously took an Oath to defend Our G"D given rights to survival and the Constitution.. ?.😂

  18. Trump did not conspire with an Enemy of the US , Amendment 14 this was a Rally/ protest, that went bad by a few persons who were held accountable

  19. Trumps had a right to say the election was tainted with missing allots with his name on them

  20. Trump didn’t violate the 14 Amendment , he’s a victim of political persecution by a ring of maxists

  21. Colorado and each State are sworn to uphold the Constitution under the rules of that state.
    Each state has a legal right to decide who is and isn't a qualified candidate.

    Why am I not concerned. A rebellion is a one off event.
    Don't have rebellions and disqualification by one or more States won't happen!
    That's the genius.

    That's why we ALLOW one state to decide an election.

    Four States have adjudicated that there was a rebellion / insurrection and that Trump led that rebellion.

    Nothing more needs to be considered unless we say every state that disqualifies a candidate ( Trump) must give him due process, a hearing. The States that have disqualified him have done that.

  22. What gives a state the jurisdiction to remove a federal candidate from a ballot of a federal election ? ….

  23. Grand power, ladies and gentlemen.
    Grandpower, A President that will take Overr the grand power of the federal government., And right now that's not happening. With mister puppet, Headlines The border of the united states Has been taken over. People who are not american citizens Of this country., Border patrol standing next to a gate Letting in a certain amount of people through this certain gate. Now if you haven't noticed people that your federal government border patrol., Number 2 A lot of states in the United States. Are beginning to form their own laws, For example, like this one. In Colorado, Number 3 News headlines The federal government is not doing their job, Listen to the word not doing their job, Have any of you noticed what your federal government is doing right now. People, no, none of you don't got no time, right? Prices too high gas, too high. Payrolls, too high $20 $15., Food cost too high. But we Want a raise, right? Because Prices are too high., So the federal government says Give them a raise. Will raise everything too,, They call that a balance. So you see a President without Power, Can't keep the country in line. And a President that has a sense of knowledge. Can see what's going on, So you see, a President does have to have a certain power. To keep the state rolling afloat. And well right now, The federal government Has a trick under their sleeves, That is why they don't want a certain person to become a President Because the certain person knows how to keep them in line, And if we don't fix this mumble jumble, President thing, then we will all be in. Deep deep Manure.3852F

  24. Final opinion let the Appellate Court ruling stand.

  25. Jan 6 was a trial run and never stopped.

  26. Donald trump is solely responsible for making someone unable to vote for donald trump. No one else.
    This is CLEAR CUT.

    He cannot legally serve andI dont care what the compromised justices have to say about it. Nor should a bunch of people serving have to wait to be voted out. They are there illegally and should have been removed on jan 7th.
    ANARCHY IT IS.
    Freaking cowards.

  27. I hope they do the right thing cause otherwise soon he will be in power and THANKS to their failures here and NOW will lose all their power should we be forced to accept him as president. These judges will lose all power and it will be TOO LATE

  28. Officer, a person who held an office… in the United States. Presidential Oath of Office is to uphold, and defend, the U.S. Constitution.

  29. "We need to save Democracy by removing our political opponents and critics from social media and taking them off ballots!"

  30. The Republican party they want more red tape more law

  31. Which party is pushing it to the Supreme Court?
