Unanimous SCOTUS decisions are not as rare as you’d think

When the Colorado Supreme Court removed Trump from the ballot in December 2023, even they knew they probably wouldn’t get away with it. Aside from the fact that they used Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against a US President — something that had never been done before and even legal scholars admit it wasn’t what the 14th Amendment was written for — they based it on something that Trump not only was guilty of insurrection, they ignored the fact that he was literally impeached for the very same accusation and was acquitted.¹

It didn’t matter. The Colorado Supreme Court followed the same arguments that talking head shill corporate “journalists” spout every night on TV. Unfortunately for them, very few people actually watch² and those that do have an average age over 60!³

The Supreme Court just ruled 9–0 that no state has the authority to remove a candidate from the ballot using the 14th Amendment.

Once again, the Constitution is pissed on and no one will go to prison for it. But that’s a whole different story…

Meanwhile, Trump is back on the ballot in Colorado and Maine.
