I must admit, the recent decision by the Supreme Court upholding the ban on a former New Mexico official, Couy Griffin, from running for state office due to his involvement in the January 6 insurrection is a small victory in my eyes. The fact that someone who actively participated in an attack on the U.S. Capitol is being held accountable and barred from holding office within the state is a step in the right direction. This ruling signifies that individuals who engage in acts of sedition and violence should face consequences for their actions, especially when seeking public office.
The distinction made by the Supreme Court, between state and federal offices, is crucial to understanding the implications of this decision.… Continue reading
Peter Navarro, a former Trump White House official, has been dealt a blow by the Supreme Court. The highest court rejected his bid to remain free while he appeals his conviction for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee. It is time for Prison Mike to face the consequences of his actions. The fact that Navarro thought he could escape prison shows a sense of entitlement and privilege that is all too common among the wealthy and powerful.
It is a moment of poetic justice to see someone who was once so close to the halls of power now facing time behind bars.… Continue reading
As a strong advocate for women’s rights and reproductive freedom, I am pleased to see President Biden doubling down on his criticism of the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade. The decision to end federal protections for abortion was a mistake, plain and simple. The essence of the ruling reflects the personal and religious motivations of certain justices, rather than a true interpretation of the Constitution.
It is imperative that we hold the Supreme Court accountable for their actions. President Biden is absolutely right to shine a spotlight on the failings of the Court, especially in light of the Dobbs ruling.… Continue reading
As I watched President Biden’s address where he boldly admonished the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride. It was a moment of truth, of standing up against injustice and challenging the status quo. The power of his words resonated deeply, not just with me but with women across the nation who have been fighting tirelessly for their rights.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was not just a legal issue; it was a blatant disregard for women’s autonomy over their bodies. The notion that the Constitution does not protect women’s right to privacy regarding abortion is not just regressive; it is a dangerous precedent that threatens the very fabric of our society.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court did Trump no favors. He’ll be facing a fall trial. In the midst of rampant corruption and scandal swirling around former President Donald Trump, the recent decision by the Supreme Court to delay his trial until the fall is a blatant display of favoritism and a threat to democracy. The fact that they have refused to rule on whether Presidents are immune to prosecution speaks volumes about where their loyalties lie.
The timing of this decision is suspect, to say the least. By pushing the trial to the fall, they have effectively given Trump more time to evade justice and continue his destructive behavior.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court will hear the Trump presidential immunity argument on April 25th, and the implications of this decision are significant. The debate around whether a president should have absolute immunity has been ongoing, but it is essential to consider the precedent set by US v Nixon, where it was unanimously decided that the President does not have absolute immunity.
The delay in the Supreme Court’s decision is frustrating, especially when there are pending elections that could be impacted by the outcome. It is crucial to recognize that no one, not even the President, should be above the law. Granting immunity to a former President could set a dangerous precedent and undermine the principles of democracy and justice.… Continue reading
As a resident of Colorado eagerly awaiting the Supreme Court’s ruling on former President Donald J. Trump’s eligibility to hold office, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and skepticism. The fact that the justices have expedited their decision-making process ahead of Super Tuesday certainly adds a layer of urgency to the situation. However, given the current political climate and the composition of the Court, it’s hard not to feel a sense of disillusionment.
The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling in December, deeming Mr. Trump ineligible under the 14th Amendment due to his involvement in the insurrection, raised hopes for accountability and justice.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court must be stopped. As we hurtle towards a phase where the Constitution is disregarded as just a mere piece of paper, it is clear that something must be done to rein in the corruption of the highest court in the US. The Democrats seem unwilling to break from tradition and take the necessary steps to address the root of the problem. It is evident that the Supreme Court has lost touch with reality, with Chief Justice Roberts and his colleagues making decisions that defy all logic and reason.
The time for action is now. Texas has shown a way out by simply ignoring the Supreme Court, and it is likely that this trend will continue.… Continue reading
The recent Supreme Court ruling regarding Trump’s eligibility to be on the Colorado ballot for the 2024 Presidential primary has sparked quite a bit of debate and discussion. The 9-0 ruling, with all nine justices in agreement, emphasizes that it is not up to the states to decide the eligibility of federal candidates, highlighting the importance of federal issues being handled by Congress rather than individual states.
There are various viewpoints on this ruling, with some expressing relief that this decision prevents states from potentially abusing their power to remove candidates they dislike from the ballot. Imagine the chaos that could ensue if swing states were allowed to kick off candidates based on partisan grounds—it would undermine the very essence of a fair and democratic election process.… Continue reading
Mitch McConnell is the arsonist who set America on fire and ran away. This statement could not be more accurate. The damage that this man has done to our country is immeasurable. His actions, his decisions, his manipulation of power – it all led to the destruction of the very democracy that America was built upon.
It is sickening to think about how these politicians, like McConnell, can sleep at night after tearing apart such a promising nation. The selfishness, the greed, the utter disregard for the well-being of the American people is truly appalling. McConnell may not have been the sole perpetrator, but he played a significant role in fueling the flames that engulfed our country.… Continue reading
