“Today’s ruling attempting to disqualify President Trump from the Colorado ballot is nothing but a thinly veiled partisan attack. Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen registered to vote should not be denied the right to support our former president and the individual who is the leader in every poll of the Republican primary. We trust the US Supreme Court will set aside this reckless decision and let the American people decide the next President of the United States,” writes Jesus dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson in a statement following Trump’s disqualification in Colorado.

Former US Solicitor General Neal Katyal was not responding directly but he had an interesting take on what the US Supreme Court is going to have to grapple with, writing “Some are saying this is a 4-3 decision, with 3 Justices disagreeing. True, but much of the dissents are about Colorado state election law, which is irrelevant as this case goes to the US Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court cannot second guess the Colorado Supreme Court on its own law… What this means, practically, is that much of what the dissenting Colorado Justices wrote is now irrelevant, as it is not something the US Supreme Court can pick up to reverse the Colorado Supreme Court on. There are of course federal constitutional issues left, but a key focus of the dissents is now [irrelevant].”

We can’t speak to what that means other than that the MAGA Supreme Court are going to have to more or less make it up as they go along to contrive a pretext to overrule Colorado. Not trying to raise anyone’s hopes here but it just doesn’t sound like it’s going to be the clean win that Johnson and the rest of the right wing freaks are already guaranteeing… if they even get a win.
