January 1, Supreme Court Unanimously Squashes Democrat’s Anti-Trump Scheme

The Democrat Party has just been handed a massive defeat, akin to being publicly humiliated in front of a crowd. The Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, has effectively quashed the left’s fervent hopes of barring Donald Trump from the ballot due to allegations of “insurrection.”

The decision was a resounding 9-0. It wasn’t even a close call.

In an unexpected move, the Supreme Court announced on Friday that it would be delivering a rare Monday morning ruling this week. This led to widespread speculation that the court would address the Colorado Supreme Court’s unlawful decision to exclude Trump from the ballot this week.

This unusual Monday morning ruling was a unanimous 9-0 decision. Even Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who seems unsure about the definition of a woman, found Colorado’s arguments unconvincing.

Regardless of the Colorado Supreme Court’s illegal ruling, Trump’s name was destined to be on the Colorado Republican primary ballot. The ballots were already printed when the ruling was made. The Supreme Court’s decision was timely, given that Colorado votes on Super Tuesday (March 5th).

Trump is poised to win the 2024 primary in Colorado, even if his name hadn’t been on the ballot. Millions of MAGA voters would have orchestrated the largest write-in campaign in history. However, the Democrats, in their malevolent scheme, planned to disregard all legitimate Trump votes.

Despite their discontent, the three liberal justices on the court, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, concurred with the majority. They used this opportunity to voice their grievances about the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s conclusion was also peculiar. She expressed her dislike for the “tone” of the majority opinion, writing:

“Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up.”

It’s not the Supreme Court’s role to moderate the nation’s tone during presidential election years. The court’s responsibility is to interpret the law and issue rulings based on it. When the court receives an egregiously erroneous ruling from a lower court, as in this case, the high court rightfully corrects it.

With this ruling, nearly 20 other state cases seeking to disqualify Trump from the ballot for insurrection have been obliterated. Each of these cases is now moot, allowing Trump’s legal team to concentrate solely on the unfounded prosecutions from Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith.

Colorado and other states were attempting to remove Trump from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, the “insurrection” clause. However, as the 9-0 majority opinion points out, Section 5 of the same amendment grants Congress the exclusive power to enforce Section 3. States are not permitted to enforce Section 3 under any circumstance.

This ruling also clarifies that a Secretary of State, as in Maine, or a traffic court judge, as in Illinois, cannot enforce Section 3.

The key lesson Americans should take from this ruling is that Donald Trump did not participate in an insurrection against the US government.

“These are not the only reasons the States lack power to enforce this particular constitutional provision with respect to federal offices. But they are important ones, and it is the combination of all the reasons set forth in this opinion—not, as some of our colleagues would have it, just one particular rationale—that resolves this case. In our view, each of these reasons is necessary to provide a complete explanation for the judgment the court unanimously reaches.”

“The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court is reversed.

The final sentence is my own addition. Unlike Amy Coney Barrett, I’m not concerned with “lowering the temperature” or moderating my tone as we strive to save the country.

Why It Matters (op-ed)

The Supreme Court’s crushing 9-0 decision is a resounding victory for justice and a humiliating blow to Democrats’ desperate attempts to bar Trump from the ballot. Even the liberal justices couldn’t deny the illegitimacy of Colorado’s actions.

This ruling exposes the left’s malicious schemes and reaffirms that Trump did not participate in an insurrection. As the Democrats’ baseless claims crumble, Trump’s name will rightfully appear on ballots, and his legal team can now focus on fighting the unfounded prosecutions.
