16. Will they even rule today? I'm betting they won't.

Mar 2024

This is my opinion only:
They will wait until after the primary.
They are under no obligation to rule today.

After the primary: "The people voted for him, we can't remove him. He's already on the ballot"
The deadline to remove him from the ballot was January 4th.
The SC did not issue an emergency order before Colorado's deadline.

I'm willing to bet a dunce cap on my DU avatar for a few days if I'm wrong.
