The Colorado Republican Party on Wednesday appealed that state’s Supreme Court decision that found former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the presidency, the potential first step to a showdown at the nation’s highest court over the meaning of a 155-year-old constitutional provision that bans from office those who “engaged in insurrection.”
The first impact of the appeal is to extend the stay of the 4-3 ruling from Colorado’s highest court, which put its decision on pause until Jan. 4, the day before the state’s primary ballots are due at the printer, or until an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is finished. Trump himself has said he still plans to appeal the ruling to the nation’s highest court as well.
And the SC is going to do what the SC is going to do.
Because the party decided rather than fight for Obama’s pick, it was better to use trump appointing a SC judge as a threat to get people to vote for Hillary.
With a healthy sprinkling of RBG not retiring when she should have.
Our SC system is completely fucked. Republicans know it and are happy about it, the DNC just want people to stop talking about how they fucked up so badly so they won’t try to fix it.
With how young the Republican picks are, this isn’t just going to solve itself, those assholes will be on the bench for decades. We can’t just ignore how fucked it is
