COMMENT: Marty, the Supreme Courtroom purchased your argument that there isn’t any material jurisdiction for the states to take away Trump from the poll. Even the Democrats on the Courtroom unanimously agreed that states do not need the authority to implement Part 3 of the Fourteenth Modification. You have been proper.
“This case raises the query whether or not the States, along with Congress, may additionally implement Part 3. We conclude that States might disqualify individuals holding or trying to carry state workplace. However States don’t have any energy below the Structure to implement Part 3 with respect to federal places of work, particularly the Presidency”

REPLY: If this had not been political nonsense, it was a case that ought to have been dismissed as frivolous. A court docket is meant FIRST to find out if it has the jurisdiction to listen to the case. This was such a biased maneuver by those that introduced the actions and the judges concerned that it illustrates greater than something how BROKEN and MORALLY CORRUPT our authorized system has change into. It’s no extra reliable at the moment than it was in Rome earlier than the autumn.
As I submitted to the Courtroom, there can’t be such jurisdiction to permit one state to prejudice a nationwide election for all. Beneath the precedents, these concerned dedicated against the law as a result of their motive was to intrude within the 2024 election. These individuals are solely involved on successful in any respect prices and to maintain the prospect for conflict alive. They advocated the overthrow of the federal government, which is the very factor they’ve accused Trump of.
As I wrote to the Courtroom, permitting a single state to intrude in a nationwide election undermines the very construction of the Structure. One rogue state can’t block everybody else within the nation from voting. Elections are for the individuals to determine – not backroom offers and conspiracys of bureaucrats in search of to retain energy.
Even the concurring opinion of Sotomayor agreed there isn’t any state jurisdiction to implement the 14th Modification. She wrote:
“Permitting Colorado to take action would, we agree, create a chaotic state-by-state patchwork, at odds with our Nation’s federalism rules. That is sufficient to resolve this case.”
“The American individuals have the facility to vote for and elect candidates for nationwide workplace, and that may be a nice and wonderful factor. “
