If democrats were split 4-3 on the ruling in Colorado, what outcome are people realistically expecting getting this from a group of mostly conservative judges?
If they don't let him through then democrats will stay in power and the threat to their billionaire ~~bribes~~ "donations" will be at risk. They might get some serious changes to how the judicial arm works that dilutes their nearly absolute power.
If they DO let him through then republicans will continue to rally for pro conservative policies that dismantle democracy in place of a single party system where the judges are still on top and get to do effectively whatever they want, so long as they keep letting their side win.
The Colorado case might be ruled to allow Trump's name to be there, but the Maine case might let the state court's decision stand if it were to come to the SCOTUS, the Secretary of State is doing things by the book following Maine election laws.
SCOTUS is irrelevant now for Colorado. Today was the deadline to certify primary ballots, and the state Supreme Court issued a stay to their ruling pending SCOTUS. Since they didn’t decline the case and haven’t made a ruling, his name is allowed on the ballot.
His name will be on the ballot, but if scotus finds that he's ineligible he can't win the nomination here, so vote for him would be wasted. Well, it's wasted no matter what but you know what I mean.
