What they’ve done is ruled that a state can’t enforce section 3 of the 14th amendment (the one that bars insurrectionists from office) unless Congress says they can, because of the risk of conflicting judgments and policies across multiple states. Had they decided to rule on whether Trump is barred from office because, while an officer of the US Government, he was involved in an insurrection, we would be in altogether more serious territory right now. As it is, the question of whether Trump is barred by section 3 is unresolved. Even so, there is a split opinion on the bench, with the conservative majority (more than one of which is a direct Trump nominee) carrying the day for him. The liberal judges on the court acquiesced to the judgment but have issued a stinging minority report. The Supreme Court is not a happy workplace right now. |

Super Tuesday. We’ll see just how much support Trump has today, within the GOP.

Re: Trump’s Troubles
The Democrats are corrupt to the core & tried to erode a constitutional system with their stupid games. A 9-0 unanimous verdict is rare. So this decision cannot be attributed to party lines.
The other stupid Democrat banana republic cases now needs to be gone, especially since the stupid Democrats have a history of calling for violence on Republicans. The Democrats also too, attempted to stop the electoral certification in January 2017, to stop Trump becoming president. |

The judgment was unanimous, which is by no means uncommon when the question has a clear answer. Obviously, one state cannot rule on the constitution in a way that affects the entire Federal government. However, the opinion was unsigned, meaning that while the justices agreed the substantive verdict they disagreed as to the wider ramifications and the remedy. And having decided by majority this was a matter for Congress, they did not rule on whether Trump actually is an insurrectionist at all. In fact , the 3 liberal justices objected to SCOTUS ruling that only Congress could determine whether an individual is barred from office under 14(3). *And* one of the Conservative justices also objected to this, though she issued a brief written opinion criticising Sotomayor Kagan and Brown for speaking out about their dissent at a time when unity was required. So there was a 6-4 split on whether Congress should determine if someone is an insurrectionist and therefore barred, or if the courts may do so. And it was not a party lines split but a genuine legal disagreement. Mick, your banging on about corrupt Dems is so 2016. Face it - you hitched your wagon to a rapist and a despot. You may not have realised it back then, but you’ve no excuse now. Whether or not he’s still popular with the uneducated rednecks of Amerca’s vast interior is neither here nor there. He was, is and will/would be a disaster for America and the world. |

You misread it… Link might clarify any confusion, as every story I read in diverse publications never mentioned the court rejected claims he was accountable for the Capitol riots in 2021. |

I’m sick of telling you, I ain’t in a wagon for Trump, but equally, I ain’t in no group of sheep following around the narrative, “Orange man bad.” For a start. He’s not a convicted rapist, he has never been arrested, or criminally convicted, he was sued in a liberal New York court which was always going to be rigged against him. You of all people, know how the rule of law works & the judiciary. Secondly, if I want to call the Democrats corrupt, I couldn’t give a shit if it was 2016, 2020 they will always be corrupt & I’d say that, regardless if Trump was running or not. Deal with it, in the grand scheme of things, it’s so unimportant which Republican president wins, just get those corrupt ******** Democrats out. |
Re: Trump’s Troubles
I've not followed Trump's many court appearances as some have, but I certainly remember his mugshot and him being been arrested. That was in Georgia.

Held liable for sexual assault rather than rape because Trump’s victim can’t say for certain whether he penetrated her with his finger or his penis, and in NY state law that’s a specific distinction. If we’re at the point of trying to salvage Trump’s reputation based on which part of his body he violated a woman with, God help America. Incidentally, the trial judge confirmed in a post-trial statement that in common language (i.e. not the specific legal terms required under NY law within the courtroom) it is perfectly acceptable to describe Trump as a rapist based on the established facts. He’s a rapist. He’s a dangerous sociopath and Joe Biden ruling from beyond the grave would be preferable. |

Worlds gone to shit under Biden & you wish that pathetic Biden, zombie walking disgrace to rule 4 more years, you are utterly crazy. More fool you. A liberal judge rules means Jack shit to me, big bloody deal. Banana republic those NY judges. Hard left liberal State! As for the rest of your TDS post. :zzz: Yawn Chris, tell it to some one who cares, I certainly don’t. |
Re: Trump’s Troubles
Ouch, truth hurts eh.
Neither of those two should be in charge of the USA. Biden is the lesser of the two evils. Biden may be an old man but at least he speaks truth and doesn't spout utter drivel that has no relevance to the real world and is only real in Trump's mind. |
