Lots of info today with pertinent links. Astute observations. Thank you.
We are sure tRump didn’t read Mein Kampf...the man doesn’t read! Vivek should just go ahead and take himself off all the state ballots already and save his money. And save us having to listen to him.
Fully concur with your opinion that the Constitution needs periodic "testing"...I mean §3 14th A is a part of the Constitution, it just can't be ignored, and when put to use, the clause does require exploring and exegesis.
And your point about how political vs legal reporters differ in their write-ups of the CO case is vividly illustrated in the Maggie Haberman article in the NYT, beating to death all the usual tRump tropes...oy vey!
Fun fact: SCOTGOP hasn’t shown Trump any loyalty when any of his problems came before them. Showing loyalty in any case he brings going forward would implicitly condone J6 and I doubt there’s a majority for doing that. MAL is an exception. Being loyal there would implicitly OK him being a security risk and, again, I don’t them doing that. Roberts has fictions to maintain.
Too, somewhere between expect and hope, the only way for the courts to respond to all Trump’s bullshit-based delay tactic of frivolous motions would be to expedite their responses every step of the way, trial courts up to SCOTUS.
excellent discussion of the aftermath of the Colorado Supremes decision. A LOT of work needs doing on clearing up the idea of runaway executive power in the person of the president himself, not necessarily the administrative part. Imperial Presidency is what trump is now proclaiming with Nazi overtones. I can't believe that even these Extremes will abandon the separation of powers. "Executive Privilege" certainly needs some definition in detail.
The question of whether Colorado has the "right" definition of insurrection is certainly de novo and the higher court won't have to defer. Would that be true also of the findings of fact of what trump DID? If the court found that trump communicated with Y on date XX, could the court say Nah, We don't Think So?

Of time will tell.
Yesterday was a good day for
Justice and the rules of law.

Whatever the worst possible thing $CROTUS can do re Colorado, rest assured it will do it.
