A ruling on whether Colorado can kick Trump off the primary ballot is highly anticipated ahead of Tuesday’s primary.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has indicated it will issue rulings on Monday, one of which could be the highly anticipated decision on whether Colorado can kick former President Donald Trump off the primary ballot.
The court noted on its website on Sunday afternoon that rulings are expected.
Trump is currently set to appear on the state primary ballot on Tuesday after a hold was placed on the Colorado Supreme Court ruling that deemed him ineligible due to his efforts to defy the 2020 election results.
The U.S. Supreme Court held oral arguments on Feb. 8 on whether Trump can be barred from the ballot because of his role leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Section 3 of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment says people are not eligible to serve in government if they “engaged in insurrection.” It appeared from the oral argument that Trump would win the case.
If the court is to rule on Monday, it will be somewhat later than many expected, with the case being heard on an expedited basis.
The ruling is likely to affect not only the Colorado case, but also any other effort to throw Trump off the ballot. So far, similar decisions have only been issued in two other states: Maine and Illinois. Both are on hold amid appeals from Trump's attorneys.
The Supreme Court's decisions on Monday will come on a day that is not scheduled on the court calendar as a ruling day. As a result, the justices will not be in the courtroom to announce any decisions as they normally would be.
If insurrectionists can’t run, why is Biden President?
The whole left wing agenda and weaponization of the law is de facto insurrection
What they claim we have done they are doing right in front of our faces. We need justice of the highest order

I guess we will soon see if we are able to keep it.
The opinion should be released on the SCOTUS website at 10:00 a.m. Is this our official thread?
I’m sure Scotusblog will have a write-up on the ruling pretty quickly after the opinion is released.
Is this our official thread?........
Might as well be..................😎
The Court will release an order list at 9:30 a.m. The Court may announce opinions on the homepage beginning at 10 a.m.
Those are Eastern Times.
Washington should use ‘Zulu Time’..................😉
A successful insurrectionist is the only one who can run. ;^)
Only We The People dispense that type of justice.
Okay, orders released. Nothing stands out in the document posted, vis-a-vis Trump trials.
I hope it’s 9-0.
And "broad" vs. "narrow".
Very much so. It has to be.
Has MSNBC been put on Suicide Watch?...............
me too, but it will probably be 6-3 or something similar so the Left can claim a pyrrhic victory of sorts................
Good grief. So we hear more expand the court crap.
Yep, the View and MSNBC will bang the drum for it.
But unless they control both houses by very wide margins, and the WH, it won’t happen................
