SCOTUS hearing on Colorado and 14th Amendment plus Foreign aid and undocumented Americans

On today’s show, I spend almost the entirety of the show breaking down some of the questions and discussion that took place inside the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The case being argued today is the state of Colorado believing they can remove Donald Trump’s name off the presidential ballot via the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment. Donald Trump is suing to say that the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply and a state doesn’t have the right to influence a national election.

Attorney Jason Murray did not fare well today. In fact, we open with an exchange he had with Justice Elena Kagan, one of the liberals on the court. The discussion then pulled in Justice Amy Coney Barrett followed by Justice Neil Gorsuch. Much of the first round of sound bites deal with why a single state should be allowed to determine who gets to be president of the United States?

The next line of questioning from Justice Brett Kavanaugh deals with actual laws on the books, outside of the US Constitution, that deal with the charge of insurrection. The question lies in why Donald Trump was never charged with breaking that law?

Attorney Murray tries to argue that the act of committing an insurrection automatically triggers the third clause of the 14th Amendment and doesn’t require additional charges or a conviction. Justice Neil Gorsuch then spend a couple minutes eviscerating the young lawyer over that legal argument being made.

Justice Clarence Thomas spent time questioning whether or not any national candidate had ever been removed from the ballot via the 14th Amendment. While Murray once again engaged in legal word salad, he finally had to admit that it has never been done before.

To be fair to the other side of the legal argument being made, we look to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who wanted to put words in the mouth of attorney Jonathan Mitchell who represents Donald Trump. After trying multiple times to get him to say that Trump committed a violent act of insurrection, she abruptly ended her line of questioning. Keep in mind, Justice Jackson is so brilliant she was not able to define what a woman is because she is not a biologist.

Moving on to a couple other subjects for today, it looks like Senator Mitch McConnell never really wanted to fix the border. He just wanted money for Ukraine. While the SCOTUS hearing was happening, the Senate ripped out all the border pieces and reintroduced the bill as a foreign aid bill, which passed 67-32 for $95 billion dollars.

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) admitted on Chris Hayes’s MSNBC show that the Democrats have “failed to deliver for the people they care about the most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country.” They truly want a permanent, slave-like, underclass that will be forever beholden to the Left and will vote as they are told or else they will lose their goodies.

And, they may need all those illegals based on what sports broadcaster Stephen A. Smith ranted about yesterday on ESPN. He railed for two minutes about inflation, putting illegals ahead of Americans, the price of groceries, the jobs report and closed with...and that’s why Donald Trump is on the verge of being elected.
