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.

1. I'm not confident they will do the right thing

Unless their paymasters tell them to which I don't see happening.

3. I have read the filings and most of the briefs in this case

If SCOTUS applies the law, then TFG should be disqualified. I also listened to the oral arguments and it is clear to me that TFG will be allowed to be on the ballot.

4. Sounds like the oral arguments were their version of oral sex to Donald Dump

Sad for our country, that's for sure.

2. Please rule on immunity. Rule to say orange

clown IS immune. That will allow Joe to call the SEALS and end this National Nightmare. I can dream, amirite?

5. What would the SEALS do?

8. Welcome to DU!!

And aren't you just the clever one?

6. They need to hear oral arguments first, in a couple months.

I hope that when they *do* rule, it will just be a single word, in big bold letters: NO. Maybe with an exclamation mark if they're feeling feisty.

Long as we're dreaming, right?

7. Literally a day before the Colorado primary

Sure seems like they're just going through the motions.

I'm not expecting a well-reasoned judgement but maybe they'll surprise everyone. Not betting on it though.

9. It's *really* unusual for the Court to give such little notice--or to not take the bench

10. They can rule whatever the fuck they want. The ballots were mailed with his name on them, many have

been returned and the primary is Tuesday. Fuck that court.
