'They were terrified': George Conway unloads on SCOTUS for Trump ballot decision

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPF3WNFEWyc

George Conway's reaction to the US Supreme Court's ruling in the Colorado Disqualification Clause case is very different from others I have seen and heard. If you missed this video, it is not too late to benefit from giving it a view.

This is another excellent explanation of the Supreme Court's ruling today in the disqualification case.

This may be the best explanation we are going to get of today's Supreme Court ruling on the Constitution's Disqualification Clause.

SUPREME COURT DISQUALIFICATION DECISION

CNN

Hear what legal expert found ‘curious’ about Supreme Court’s ruling on Trump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGaa6GbYhrA

In the first part of this video, before it switched to a panel discussion, Norman Eisen addressed two important questions that were left unmentioned in the audio and text I had seen and heard up to this point. 1) The Supreme Court unanimously did not explicitly deny that Trump had engaged in insurrection. 2) The timing of this announcement seems political.

By and large, I do not post CNN videos. The host here said nothing to cause me to rethink this practice.

'Appalling!': Historians torch Supreme Court's handling of Trump ballot case

Lawrence O'Donnell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSgQU7jthDM

Here we have two eminent American historians, David Blight and Drew Gilpin Faust, discussing how thoroughly Supreme Court justices got the historical part of their deliberations wrong. This was so striking that I commented on it DURING ORAL ARGUMENTS.

This Supreme Court hearing calls to mind a passage in a Sherlock Holmes film. Not sure if it is in the Arthur Conan Doyle original. Holmes was examining an object of deep interest to him, when Dr. Watson walked in. Holmes handed over the item and asked Watson what he observed of it. Watson gave what sounded like a reasonably thorough list of the object's details and then asked, "Have I missed anything?" Sherlock Holmes replied, "Only everything of any importance."

Prof. Tribe on Trump ballot case: Colorado was doing its job applying the Constitution

This is the best wrap-up of Thursday's Supreme Court proceedings I have heard. It is a Lawrence O'Donnell sort of interview with Lawrence Tribe.

Borrowing from a Supreme Court observation during Colorado case oral arguments,

Supreme Court ..... that sounds national to me.

So then, if the Supreme Court rules that individual states cannot exclude the traitor, Donald Trump, from ballots, then it is the Supreme Court's duty to exclude Trump from general election ballots.

As Harry Truman might say,

The Buck Stops at the Supreme Court.

‘A dismal showing for challengers to Donald Trump’: Neal Katyal on Supreme Court hearing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvv7Q2KCThI

The three guests here did not entirely agree with one another, except that the Colorado case was not well presented. Well worth watching but you may want to have a box of Kleenex at your side.

Justice Katanji Brown Jackson''s comments during today's disqualification hearing included "information" that is totally uninformed and ill-advised. This item, which I am posting here for the third time, completely contradicts what she said today: - that the Disqualification Clause only pertains to states and, thus, does not affect a president. This item quotes from original Senate discussions leading up to passage of the Fourteenth Amendment and its Disqualification Clause. Senate debate most clearly did include presidents and vice presidents.

DISQUALIFICATION CLAUSE AS IT RELATES TO PRESIDENTS AND VICE PRESIDENTS

How Donald Trump Disqualified Himself From Holding Office Ever Again

I am placing this here, belatedly, in hopes of making up for a goof I made in an earlier post. It reports on US Senate debate about what ultimately became Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

"This is to go into our Constitution and to stand to govern future insurrection as well as the present; and I should like to have that point definitely understood," Van Winkle said at the time.

It's also worth noting that there was just a single reference in the Senate debate to the fact that the president and vice president were not explicitly mentioned in Howard's draft as "officer(s) of the United States," the way members of Congress and state officials had been itemized in the text. Would the disqualification clause of the amendment not cover the top posts in the executive branch?

"Why did you omit to exclude them?" asked Maryland Democratic Sen. Reverdy Johnson.

Maine's Lot Morrill jumped in to clarify.

"Let me call the Senator's attention to the words 'or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,'" Morrill said, ending the discussion on that point.

It is being used to challenge Trump in some states from being on the ballot.

This seems really clear to me. It ought to be equally clear to the United States Supreme Court, unless justices "step up" to serve Donald Trump instead of the American people and the Constitution.
