    I don’t see the Supreme Court upholding even Colorado’s ruling. Trump has gained more political steam with this. He has his angle that the “Dems are actively not being democratic”. Not that I agree with any of that message.

    There’s no way he’d win in California regardless. Makes no sense to attempt it there.

      No way this supreme court upholds that ruling. Which pisses me off even more that Biden refused to stack the court when he had the chance

        It would take an act of Congress to alter the Judicial Act of 1969, which sets the current size of the Supreme Court.

        Democrats consider the preservation of the filibuster to be more important.

        Yes I fear it is just misleading hope. Another thread is hoping Dean Phillips can upset a repeat of 2020 Biden v Trump. Who knows, we’ll see.

        At least Breyer was replaced by Jackson. The Senate is as much to blame as well.

      I mean that’s the message he’ll spin for sure, but the Colorado suit was brought to the courts by Republicans trying to remove Trump from the ballot.

        Because the Colorado ruling was based on an analysis and interpretation of the US Constitution. SCOTUS is the court of last resort in such matters.
