| A lot of traveling in the next few months, and welcome to the show. | |
| The Supreme Court, this is the headline in the Wall Street Journal, Supreme Court restores Donald Trump's ballot eligibility. | |
| Justices reversed Colorado's ruling that disqualified Trump for a role in capital attack. | |
| And guess what? | |
| The ruling. | |
| Does this article note that it's 9-0? | |
| Alan, where in the article would it say that? | |
| That's very strange. | |
| I mean, that's pretty relevant. | |
| Well, 9 is not coming up. | |
| This is a very important... | |
| I want to make sure that I have that right. | |
| Let's see if the word 9 comes up. | |
| No. | |
| Why would the article not note that? | |
| The Supreme Court ruled today that states lack the power to reject presidential candidates on the grounds they engaged in rebellion or insurrection against the United States, a decision that restored former President Donald Trump's name to Colorado's ballot and ended similar challenges to his candidacy elsewhere. | |
| The unsigned opinion effectively puts to rest a series of state-level claims that Trump isn't eligible to be president a second time under a long, dormant constitutional provision barring former officials who engage dormant constitutional provision barring former officials who engage in insurrection or rebellion. | |
| And anyway, this is a real smack at these judges in Colorado and elsewhere that have said this. | |
| I have to contain myself because... | |
| The amount of damage the left is doing to this remarkable country is endless. | |
| And one of them is the bastardization of language. | |
| I use the term rape, the rape of language. | |
| People get angry because rape they think is only a sexual act. | |
| Look it up in the dictionary. | |
| People speak frequently of forests being raped. | |
| It is as strong a term as you can use for the violation of something. | |
| In the case of rape, it's the violation of usually a woman, sometimes a man. | |
| And in the case of language, it is the violation of language, and all that is sacred in the idea that when they speak about the right-wing conservatives being anti-democracy, oh, it's a threat to democracy. | |
| Everything is a threat to democracy if you differ with the left. | |
| You want a threat to democracy? | |
| Despicable judges, Stalin-like judges, ruling that a candidate can't be a candidate because they don't like the guy. | |
| That's a threat to democracy. | |
| Whew! | |
| Alright. | |
| I feel a little better. | |
| But only a little. | |
| Because the issue isn't my emotions, the issue is my country. | |
| These judges, I mean, the... | |
| The arrogance of the whole thing. | |
| We don't like Trump so he can't run. | |
| Of course they hide it behind insurrection. | |
| Every fascist and every communist regime, the judges do the same thing. | |
| They always make up some sort of offense that the person they want to squash has engaged in. | |
| They never say, we're just squashing someone because we don't want him or like him. | |
| Of course not. | |
| And here's the thing. | |
| These judges in Colorado, the judge in Illinois, wherever else this has happened, they will sleep fine tonight. | |
| In their view, the Supreme Court was just wimpy. | |
| That's it. | |
| They had the courage to threaten democracy. | |
| Threat to democracy. | |
| It's like misinformation. | |
| If you don't hear it from the government, it isn't true. | |
| That vile comment made by the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, who is now teaching at Harvard. | |
| So appropriately. |
