SCOTUS puts Trump back on the ballot, Presidential immunity and State of the Union
A unanimous Supreme Court ruled that Colorado cannot kick a presidential candidate off of a ballot. Which begs the question – what exactly were these Colorado judges thinking? That each individual state can boot off it’s political enemy from a national election? Do these judges not have any ability to anticipate bad consequences? If your ruling on a political hot button issue results in a 9-0 beat down from the U.S. Supreme Court, that calls into question whether you should still possess car keys.
Also, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Trump’s presidential immunity case. While this case presents a fascinating question as to whether a president is liable for acts committed while president, the real issue here is timing. By taking the case, will the clock run out on this case before the election?
In sports, the Denver Broncos announced they will waive Russ Wilson, ending what could be considered the greatest bust in NFL history. This might top the SF 49’ers trading for an injured OJ Simpson, the Vikings trading half their draft picks for years to the Cowboys for Hershel Walker, and the Bears decision to draft Mitch Trubisky over Mahomes. If you are asking, “who is Mitch Trubisky?” – exactly.
