The Supreme Court rules — unanimously — that Trump can remain on the Colorado primary ballot.
“Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse.”

Important from the Court’s three liberal justices:
“The American people have the power to vote for and elect candidates for national office, and that is a great and glorious thing. The men who drafted and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, however, had witnessed an ‘insurrection [and] rebellion’ to defend slavery. They wanted to ensure that those who had participated in that insurrection, and in possible future insurrections, could not return to prominent roles. Today, the majority goes beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section 3 can bar an oathbreaking insurrectionist from becoming President. Although we agree that Colorado cannot enforce Section 3, we protest the majority’s effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement of that provision. Because we would decide only the issue before us, we concur only in the judgment.”

Bottom line: if insurrectionists and traitors must each individually be prohibited from holding high office by an act of Congress, insurrectionists and traitors are not actually constitutionally prohibited from holding high office.

My daughter’s in her senior year of high school. All girls. You should see these young women. They’re leaders and not afraid to make mistakes. They wait for no boy or man to go first.
One thing struck me that my daughter said a couple of years ago about her and her schoolmates that I will never forget. “We love Kamala Harris. She looks like us.”
To many, an insignificant statement. “She looks like us.”
To me, a powerful one. Think about what it means to young girls and women. ‘I can do this, because she did this.’https://t.co/i2ezRiFmwB

Here’s what I’m not going to do: equate the racist, sexist, and bigoted abuse that Meghan Markle has endured at the hands of the British Media and online trolls FOR YEARS, with the two months of jokes and speculation that Kate Middleton has received since announcing her surgery. It’s not even comparable and it’s offensive to even suggest as much.
I’m never going to justify cruelty, it’s indefensible. But I have been saying for YEARS that the devil you feed will one day feast upon you. The royal family threw Meghan and Harry to the wolves, and they cannot feign shock and outrage that the wolves now want a piece of them too.
It’s sad. It’s heartbreaking, really. But monsters are to be destroyed when they come for anyone, not just you, personally. It is a lesson that is being learned the hard way.
Sadly.

I am glad that people are bringing up Super Tuesday 2020.
I mean, let’s go in our time machine back to that day.
The MSM was still SHOOKETH by Biden’s decisive win in South Carolina. They were stumbling and mumbling trying to explain it.
When Super Tuesday came in…they just couldn’t believe it. They just couldn’t believe it. How Biden was racking up, victory after victory in the South.
I still go by a tweet by Skeptical Brotha that I have never forgotten on the night of the 2020 South Carolina Primary.
Paraphrasing it..
he said.
South Carolina was the signal to the Black community that it was time to put aside the foolishness of the MSM and to come home.
And, indeed they did…state after state on Super Tuesday 2020. The way they were able to announce so many results by 7:15 pm…it was hilarious..watching them lift their jaws up off the floor.
Good Morning, Everyone😊😊😊
