Lest It Be Forgotten...

There’s been a great deal of analysis on the Supreme Court decision yesterday that overturned the Colorado ruling that had declared Trump was ineligible to be on the state ballot for president.  So, there isn't a whole lot for me to add.  Especially since I wasn’t surprised by the 9-0, nor overly surprised (though a little) by the unanimous vote.  I was surprised that the majority of those nine went further (which is rare for SCOTUS who usually only rule on the specific issue in front of them) and said it was only up to Congress to enact the 14th Amendment in a federal election.  And I wasn’t alone in that, in good company with four of the Justices.

What did, however, stand out to me – and was something that didn’t get much mentioned in all the analysis, although it has gotten much more than I expected – was what the Court did not say.  And that’s because Trump’s lawyers wanted the Supreme Court to overturn the decision of the Colorado court that Trump was an Insurrectionist.  And they refused to do so.  They didn’t even touch it. 

Which means, lest it be forgotten -- it stands on the court record that Trump is officially and legally an Insurrectionist.

As well as an adjudicated rapist.  And an adjudicated fraud.

And it can’t be repeated enough.

And enough.

And enough.

I know that the Trump base has all of their hair-on-fire explanations why none of these are real and are all meaningless.  But then, the Trump base also believes that JFK is coming back to life to run with Trump.  And they’re not voting for anyone by Trump anyone.  But most everyone else understands that all these things are real and true, when they’re reminded of them.

Which is why it can’t be repeated enough.

And enough.

And enough.

And enough.
