      Nope, I have the ultimate solution that will save both the courts and SCOTUS. The US constitution is recognized by all states this includes the 14th Amendment section 3. The framers made this constitution universal to all state while each state create state constitutions to govern themselves. Hence why there is congress representatives from all states coming together to govern as a whole and individually. When both Colorado and Maine stated that DJT insight the insurrection and was proven by petitioners that he participated, those rulings from both constitutional stood together for once. SCOTUS with this information if they follow HONESTLY and to the letter as it is written then DJT did insight and is in violation of the 14th, then the self executing amendment without question stands. Now let’s say they choose to not go this route and rule they need more evidence, then this move would fall on none other than DA Fani Willis and her RICO case. Why her and not Jack Smith. It shows direct inference with the election, finalize the debunk of a stolen election, tells the story leading up to Jan 6 and all players involved. Then the ball from there will get tossed mid way to Jack Smith with Immunity and Documents case. Both combined will be undoubted evidence of DJT in sighting, aiding and orchestrating the coup attempts of the government. It’s at that moment SCOTUS will have no choice but to side with the courts ruling. Lol Allegedly. Still all conjuncture and as we are taught in college, overwhelming is greater than Assuming.

      If Trump isn't kept off the ballot, A14S3 still says he can't hold office. With only two months between the election and the swearing in, if he wins the election how can his eligibility to hold the office be challenged? I'm concerned because the text doesn't say a thing about ballots, it says he can't hold the office, which seems like a big weasel area for the SCOTUS in this case.

I'd expect this debate to be documented in the Congressional Globe (the Congressional Record started in 1873, after the reconstruction debates that occurred in 1866).

      I don't understand his argument. Even though states run their own elections the constitution says no state can put a 20 year old on their ballot. No state can put a foreigner on their ballot. The third qualifier is that the person can't give aid or comfort to insurrectionist. So how could the supreme court allow a state to put trump on their ballot if he doesn't meet all three qualifiers?

      I definitely enjoy watching these videos and I always feel better informed about the legal issues after watching these breakdowns.
      I do disagree with him on one point, though. I am one of those people on the left Brian mentioned who doesn't think this is likely going anywhere, and who strongly believes Trump will be on the ballot in all 50 states come November.
      I realize SCOTUS hasn't always rubber-stamped all of Trump's demands. But I think there's a difference between their having refused to go along with his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and using their power now to effectively remove him as a candidate in 2024. The latter would be a much bigger--and ballsier--step, and I don't think they have it in them to do it.
      And frankly, I don't think the legal arguments are as strong. I do think there's a good case for saying Trump should be removed from the ballot on grounds of having committed insurrection. But I also think the issue is more complicated than some of its advocates have made it out to be, and certainly I think the case against it is stronger than the case the Trump team made back in 2020-21 that Republican-controlled state legislatures should be given the right to "review" the outcome of the vote in those states.
      I'm not making myself out to be some kind of prophet; I'm just a guy posting comments on the Internet. I could be wrong, and I'll be pleasantly surprised if I am. Still, for whatever it's worth, it just strikes me as highly unlikely SCOTUS will go along with these efforts.

    I'm confused about Glen's statement about limits on creating national standards for all 50 states. We already have 2 standardized ballot qualifications: naturalized citizenship and a minimum age. States can't opt out of those. If the Supreme Court rules that DJT committed insurrection and Article 3 says that is disqualifying, why wouldn't all 50 states recognize that disqualification?

      Another thing that I feel will be very interesting is the quandary of "States Rights" the Supreme Court will have to deal with... If they rule against this State Right.... What about other issues States are given free reign on... Specifically reproductive rights? It will certainly be interesting... And scary, to have this in the corrupt Supreme Court's hands.

Whether or not it can be proved DT instigated Jan 6, he has on many occasions been hugely vocal in his support for people who have been criminally convicted of insurrection, even referring to them as hostages, and promising to pardon them. So wouldn’t this be enough in itself to disqualify him from appearing on ballots?

    We can deduce this: the court did not have a majority among those voting members whether to take this case on the issue of simply accepting the decision of Colorado as is.
    So the majority of voting justices agreed that there needs to be some revision or strong oversight of Colorado's decision.
    Now that it is under the jurisdiction of the supreme court, it creates the opportunity to form a majority of voting justices to create something different than what Colorado ruled.
    If you're interested in this court then you know this court and you know what kinds of majorities it can form.

    This is exactly the detailed analysis I've been searching for. The Supreme Court can't decide the case in any direction based on the fact that Trump is a front runner in a major political party. Yet that is the reasoning we hear most often from even lawyers in the media. They say this has to be resolved the same for all the states. People "should" be able to vote for their candidate of choice. They forget that this case must address only potential flaws in Colorado's application of their own laws in relation to the constitution. The Supreme Court's ruling needs to be addressed not just about January 6 and Trump, but must be the correct ruling for all possible future more blatant fact patterns. They can't say the Office of the President is not an "office" They can't say old amendments have a shelf life. After all, that amendment was created following the procedures established in constitution. The remedy is to democratically remove the "offending" amendment, not to ignore it because its application creates undesirable outcomes.

      They will fear that the MAGA Lunatics will show up at their homes. MAGAs can be highly dangerous and violent as we saw with our own eyes! If they do decide to remove donnie from the ballot based on Amendment 14 section 3, they bess arrange for the national guard to protect them before they announce their judgement.
