Colorado has gamed its ruling so that the ruling will be mooted unless the SCOTUS acts before the primary (remember, this was only about the primary). But, the findings of fact will remain.

Roberts, in an effort to avoid the Court being "political" would be inclined to decline to rule because of mootness (i.e., no justiciable issue).

But let's fast forward to September 2024. Trump is the GOP candidate.

States with mail in ballots will be sending out their ballots in October - with them being printed in September.

Colorado SOS (along with a host of other Dem SOSs) declare that based on the final judgment of the COSC, Trump will be excluded from the ballot. Biden (or Democrat nominee) and lesser qualifying candidates will be the only ones in the ballot. Others (like Maine) follow suit.

By the time the SCOTUS can do anything (remember, its regular term does not begin until the 1st Monday in October - and this would be "too important" for a "shadow docket" ruling), millions of ballots in multiple states without Trump have already been mailed out.

What happens to those states? Will the SCOTUS find their votes invalid? Order new votes? Delay the election or Electoral vote certification?

Going deeper, imagine the outrage about all of this results in BOTH houses of Congress going to the GOP. The NEW Congress is the one that certifies the Electoral votes. They would be completely justified in refusing to certify the votes of those states, or awarding the Electoral votes to Biden (or the Democrat candidate).

Considering these possibilities, the SCOTUS needs to step in and shut this down now.

Roberts has skeletons that likely fill his closet.

Everyone of our leaders have a price, and when everyone has a price, no one works for us.

Because everyone has a price, nothing is sacred.

Trump is the closest one to not having a price, because he can’t be bought, which is why he should lead.

This is true. Same with the potential immunity issue in the DC case, which is why I was shocked so many Trump supporters opposed trying to resolve the issue as quickly as possible

Procedurally, do they have the power to proactively pursue an issue without someone first bringing it to them?

Roberta will find a way to punt or make the situation even less clear. He always does.

He could have made Obamacare a distant left wing pipe dream - but he didn’t. Not bc it made sense, but bc it was the easy way out.

He could, excuse me SHOULD, have solved this entire election problem with Texas v Pennsylvania in Dec 2020 - but he didn’t. Because he wanted the easy way out.

He could have found, fired and recommended disbarment for the Roe leaker. But he didn’t. Because that would be too controversial.

He has no consistent judicial philosophy aside from trying to avoid controversy.

Don’t get your hopes up.

Trump just needs to sue in Maine and lose and then go up there. The Colorado thing would be too discretionary

Roberts is not one of us. ACB is questionable as well. I don’t trust them at all.

John Roberts has been compromised. Which brings me to ask - what politician in Washington,D.C. has NOT been compromised? If you answered Donald Trump you are correct sir.

I’m actually going to disagree on this point.

I’m fine with Biden being left off Georgia’s ballot to compensate.

It’s not like a Republican is winning Colorado, Maine or California anytime soon.

Frankly the sooner we divide this country up the better the way things are going.

Everyone could save themselves anxiety if they would accept the fact that Trump will never again be president. He’ll soon be a chapter in the history books.

Apparently, Thomas Massie agrees...

I think one of the reasons SCOTUS will use is that in Colorado and now Maine, the decision to exclude Trump are solely being made by the opposing political party in power. The Democrats in power in these states are overreaching their authority to dictate who the opposing political party can endorse for elections.

Fun fact when you vote for President, you are not voting for the individual. You are voting for a set of electors that will vote for your choice for president.


So it would depend on if Colorado or another that would exclude from the ballot anyone that would vote for Trump as an elector.

I think SCOTUS moves because of NH.

What I would like is to have all the republican states ban Biden for insurrection for the border. He does not get enough votes...goes to states voting/congress.
