Description
Talkin’ PoliticsSCOTUS Highly Predictable Let DownThe US supreme court issued its decision in the Trump/Colorado ballot case by now you’ve certainly herald about it - the court issued it’s per curium opinion on Monday, March 4th and since then the reactions have been about as expected, most folks on the left are pissed and Trump thinks he won reelection basically so let’s start thereRachel: What was your reaction and what thoughts did it leave you with?The opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-719_19m2.pdfHolding: This case raises the question whether the States, in addition to Congress, may also enforce Section 3. We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency. Interesting blog from Balls And Strikes a really well written legal and politics blog posted a piece with this headline: The Liberal Justices Backed Down From the Fighthttps://ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump-colorado-case-what-are-the-liberal-justices-doing/Though the outcome in Anderson was a foregone conclusion, the question was just how much incredulous dissent it would elicit. The answer, unfortunately, is basically none. After including a few turns of phrase that are recognizable as barbs only by columnists with an unfortunate affinity for Supreme Court palace intrigue, even the liberal justices, for some godforsaken reason, agreed to help write part of the Constitution out of existence.This all happens as SCOTUS announces Trump’s immunity case won’t be on the docket until April 22nd which as we all know means more delays in any possible criminal casesSUPER TUESDAY IS HAPPENING16 States are voting, counting is happening as we recordhttps://www.cnn.com/2024/03/05/politics/states-voting-super-tuesday-dg/index.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2024/03/03/politics/what-to-know-super-tuesday-what-matters/index.html“The primaries at stake include the first three states in the alphabet, as any schoolkid should be able to tell you: Alabama, Alaska (for Republicans) and Arkansas. In addition, there are California and Colorado; Maine, Massachusetts and Minnesota; North Carolina; Oklahoma; Tennessee and Texas; Utah; and Vermont and Virginia.Tuesday also marks the end of Democrats’ mail-in presidential preference process in Iowa, and a Democratic caucus in American Samoa.”
