Two Trump legal lifelines are tilting Election 2024 in Donald's favor

Raw Story  

After showing a remarkable lack of interest in the underlying facts, the U.S. Supreme Court has kept an adjudicated insurrectionist — by definition unfit to be president — on the ballot. During oral arguments, the Supreme Court — apart from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — asked almost no questions about the Colorado Supreme Court’s predicate finding that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection. The Supreme Court’s orchestrated timing has now thrown Trump two major legal lifelines timed to influence the November general election in his favor. Federalists forget about federalism The Supreme Court also ruled that, “States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency,” otherwise state-by-state chaos would result. A partisan Supreme Court again shows its hand It bears repeating that the high court moved swiftly to restore Trump to the Colorado ballot in the insurrectionist case, but on the immunity case — where they will either have to rule against Trump or admit they are in on the GOP coup — they deliberately delayed Trump’s trial until after it loses electoral relevance.
