That’s ten minutes more than Trump got before they unilaterally kicked him off the ballot. And ten minutes more than Trump got when election fraud was brought before them in 2021.
Geller Report Mr. Snipe opines:
‘The real question is why the SCOTUS is hearing this case at all? Give her one minute. Why not tell this nut that the case has “No Standing” like Roberts did when election fraud was brought before them in 2021? Is Roberts going to rewrite the US Constitution on 14th like he did with Obamacare? There are several immediate constitutional issues that even a squishy John Roberts and Amy Squishy Barrett should understand if they can read the 14th Amendment.
Story continues below advertisementPrior constitutional scholars have argued that the 14th Amendment does not apply to presidents since he is a member of the executive branch and not as a public official or military member.
Trump has not been convicted of an insurrection under 14th Amendment Section 2. He was charged in second fake impeachment in 2021 and found not guilty.
The state elected courts, election boards, secretary of states, do not have jurisdiction over the 14th Amendment no matter what their state constitution states.
Even if Trump had been charged and exonerated of an insurrection by the US Senate during the second fake impeachment in 2021, under the 5th Amendment of double jeopardy he cannot be tried twice for same offense.
Even if Trump had been charged and convicted of an insurrection only Congress under 14th Amendment Section 5 can remove him from ballot using simple majority vote.
If Congress under 14th Amendment Section 5 removed him from ballot using simple majority vote, unlike an impeachment conviction he can still appeal his removal to the federal courts.
If Trump had been charged and convicted of an insurrection by the US Senate in 2021 by 2/3 vote during the second fake impeachment in 2021, he could not appeal the conviction and removal from the ballot.
So there-what’s all the fuss about?
Supreme Court Gives Colorado Secretary of State 10 Minutes to Argue Why Trump Should Be Blocked From Ballot
The top court is weighing whether to rule in favor of or against a Colorado Supreme Court decision to bar Trump from the ballot on 14th amendment grounds.
By Tom Ozimek, February 2, 2024:
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday granted Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold—who called former President Donald Trump an “ineligible insurrectionist”—just 10 minutes at a hearing next week to argue before the court why she thinks he should be barred from the ballot.
Ms. Griswold, a Democrat and fierce Trump critic, has filed multiple briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court, which is weighing whether to rule in favor of or against the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar President Trump from the ballot on 14th amendment grounds.
In a Jan. 26 filing with the U.S. Supreme Court, Ms. Griswold asked for enlargement and division of time for oral arguments at a hearing next week so that she could have time to provide the court with an “important perspective” on Colorado’s election laws.
Story continues below advertisementThe Supreme Court said in its decision that it would grant Ms. Griswold just 10 minutes to make her case for why, according to her subsequent Jan. 31 filing, President Trump supposedly engaged in an insurrection and so should be barred from appearing on Colorado’s presidential ballot.
Even though Ms. Griswold did not take a position on President Trump’s eligibility during a trial in district court, she’s revealed her anti-Trump bias repeatedly, including when she went on CNN to denounce the former president as a “danger to American democracy.”
But when, on appeal, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled to bar President Trump from the ballot based on the idea that he had “engaged in insurrection” by delivering a speech on Jan. 6, Ms. Griswold said the court “got it right.”

Amy PHONY Barrett and John not a Conservative Roberts together with Katanji Pedo Lover BROWN Jackson, The stoopid Latina SOTO and Elena “Barry’s girl” Kagan should all be impeached. What a bunch of leftists and anti-American stooges they are. How they can claim to rule per the Constitution is the question as they do not.
But not while Biden would be the one to select their replacements.
Tina Peters won the CO SOS race. Elections, illegitimate politicians and judicial appointments are all a bad joke and a national disgrace.
Why did Amy and John change? Are they afraid of threats?
According to the Constitution …… They only hold their Office during good behavior.
Just throw them out, or, hang them like our Founders did.
I’m praying that this is not an indicator on the direction the court is leaning.
wouldn’t surprise me, trump doesn’t have a very good track record at choosing good people for jobs.
Roberts has been to Epstein’s Pedo Island.
He is fully compromised and corrupt.
I suggest the Supremes agree that Ms. Griswold should be turned over for execution by hanging after she presents her libelous 10 minute argument. I’m really tired of these lying, ignorant democrats. I want them punished severely for treasonously trying to destroy my and your country.
Trumps name should not be taken off of the ballot. The court should have just ruled against it. They did not need any argument.
This is madness, so this is democracy in USA ? More like Communist Russia or China.
These united States of American are a REPUBLIC, not a democracy.
It looks like the Supreme Court is in the hands of the Democrats. This is another way of disqualifying Trump in the election. Colorado gets away with this and all Democrat States will be doing the same thing. And their election problem will be solved.
where’s the conviction for this?
your opinion doesn’t mean a damn thing, where has these accusations been proven in a court of law?
the SCOTUS should have told her to pound sand immediately.
The very fact that they did NOT tell her to pound sand is VERY troubling. It demonstrates that they are entertaining her demands. This issue should have been a clear cut case that she had NO STANDING.
Tina Peters won. Griswold is illegitimate to begin with. Colorado’s elections, as most states in America, are a joke. All judicial appointments are equally illegitimate; and no American should abide by anything this banana republic dictates.
Griswold gets to argue before the Supreme Court, but Texas and other states “have no standing”. The fact the SC would entertain an illegitimate SOS (Tina Peters won) and ignore state rights to be heard is indefensible and treasonous. Roberts needs to hang.
I’m interested why the dems…er…fascist left keeps using the phrase “A danger to our democracy”
over and over again when we have NEVER been a democracy. We have only been a representative republic.
Clearly they have focus tested this with their fellow fascists and found it effective.
They must be counting on the stupidity of a majority to believe their lie.
The desperation on the left is becoming panic.
Such good news for our republic.
Finally ….. someone else who understands that we are NOT a “democracy”.
Now that the USA is the USSSA, Democratic voters should prepare themselves to enjoy their permanent vacations in gulags. As slaves of the Union of Soviet Socialist States of Amarxica, when the door closes, thanks to them, there will be no going back!
Roberts will be told, like he HAS been told, that if he doesn’t vote the way they want him to, some extremely compromising photos of him on Epstein Island with children will be published…
The SCOTUS lost me when they denied all of the election fraud cases. Those who think they will uphold the Constitution and rule in favor of Trump in upcoming cases have very short memories.
Her assertion is nothing short of slander and she should be personally liable for damages as well as Trump legal costs. She should also be required to resign for overstepping her authority and no public monies should be spent towards her pay, retirement or other claims. She should be summarily dischared.
