#SCOTUS #Trump #Colorado
Virtually all Congressional Republicans have given aid and comfort to the Jan 6 insurrectionsts. They should all be barrred from holding office, as should any candidates for office who have said supportive things of those that were party to the insurrection, including Trump.
Voting for trump is literally an act of aiding and abetting an insurrectionist.
It's the only way to clean house
Insurrectionists? 🤭 you mean protestors. 😂
@@oppressedspeakeroftruth6558 I hate to bear this bad news but: Those Jan 6th defendants just sentenced for sedition, lost any right to be called simple "protesters". Any member of Congress promising pardons, are guilty of aiding and comforting them.
@@oppressedspeakeroftruth6558
A violent protest done for the purpose of illegitimately prevent a duly elected President from taking office is an insurrection by definition.
Throw Trump off all the ballots. It's time for the country to heal.
The only possible way to heal would be if he is on the ballot and not elected, otherwise we will never hear the end of Trump.
if they're worried about a riot if he IS taken, what are they going to do about the riots if he ISN"T. true, people on the left are not as crazy as the right, since most have brains and reason, whereas the right seems to have none so resorts to emotion, but you don't have to be crazy to exercise your right to protest an injustice.
@@scampbell8136 Judging by the tantrum the MAGA cult threw following the election, especially on Jan 6th, they would NEVER believe an election he lost wasn't robbed from them. I also don't agree with Colorado jumping the gun by banning him from their ballot, which would only support the unfounded claims Trump has made about everyone being out to get him & his base, BUT that all being said, should he be found guilty of any of the major charges against him SHOULD justify any state that is patriotic in any way to ban him from the ballot, even if he wins the nomination. Traitors should NOT be allowed to hold such a powerful office, even if their cult is brainwashed into voting for them.
@@scampbell8136 I don't think so. That criminal has managed to hold sway in the media for an awfully long time. The only time we don't hear from him if his output is curtailed in media coverage, unless there's someone on prison reporting detail.
@@scampbell8136 He was on the ballot and defeated in 2020. What did that do? Trump is ALREADY again conditioning and programming his minions not to accept an election defeat in 2024. I be honest, I don't know what the answer is, but it doesn't seem like the democratic process of election IS the answer as Trump and his cut followers have proved they won't accept it- only if he loses.
Should be all 50 States talking him off the voting ballots!!!!
Even if he isn’t a “Officer of the US” like an elected member of congress, he was an officer of the US military as Commander in Chief.
How does one hold the office of POTUS, and not be an officer.
As a 71 year old Canadian boomer, I've heard my whole life that the position of the U.S. President was the HIGHEST office in the free world !!!!!!!!
Touche the president picture is in every HQ of hour military!
He took an oath!
You are so right! He took an oath on the constitution and therefore he's beholden to it! Everything else is just playing with words and their possible meaning!
@@rosemarieholley6551Trump's trick is claiming that since his oath says "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution", not "support the Constitution", that is not an oath to support the Constitution.
He also took an oath when he married 3 times. It didn't stop him from catting around and impregnating all of them.
" I DINT TAKE NO OATS ! "
Trump doesn’t honor oaths, in case you didn’t know!
Just about nailed to the facts of the 14th amendment - aid or comfort. 😅
🎉🗽⚖️🙏🌟
Colorado Secretary of State and those on the Colorado Supreme Court Bench who chose to Uphold the U.S. Constitution, even in the face of the Violent, Moronic MAGA Mob are my heroes!
All other states need to do the same.

It's a severe shame that we, the people, can't trust or expect the SCOTUS will do the correct thing.😏
this looks like a russian posting to me. Classic sow division posting. Fact is THIS trump SCOTUS shot down trump 2020 bogus election claims - 100%. not 99%. 100%.

--- < Yes but they're not only to blame. Removal by Article I, Section 3, clause 7, Article II, Section 4 and 18 U.S.C. § 2383 Rebellion or Insurrection have already failed. Now it's up to the states and state courts under Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 and Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
@@jannmutube yeawh, I don't trust the judgement of the collective body due to their political placement by ideology that will eliminate the judiciary and the Constitution as we know it. They've done nothing to uphold the Constitution as this collective body and two members are cashing in while they can.
As always, Lawrence gives us an excellent review of the details and insights written into the decision. So glad I caught his report.
It seems to me, that organizing the innsurrection, indicates that he engaged in insurrection.
The supreme court needs to be expanded (I suggest 14 or more) to include more judges so that it is NEVER skewed by Democratic or Republican appointees. What we have at the moment ensures that cases will never be decided on merit, but to please political overlords. This is a joke.
Alternatively, if Senate confirmation of judges (and other officials who we need to be non-partisan and non-extreme, such as the Attorney General) required a supermajority vote instead of a simple majority, then extreme nominees wouldn't be confirmed. One of the Founders' mistakes was to allow simple majority confirmations.
An even number; if a tie occurs, the VP can cast a deciding vote.
Keep it at nine, but have staggered terms to allow each President to make a fixed number of appointments. If a justice "expires" before his or her term does, the president can appoint, as at present, someone to finish the term.
I fully support Trump in 2024. For prison and solitary confinement for the betterment of the nation.
Agreed
Yes! It’s time to stop the crazy train.
Solitary confinement would not happen.
@@user-cr9kj7cn4d Just take his cell phone away - he would die from lack of attention.
What I was going to comment. Limited ketchup too!@@CharlieEbbs
Thank you Lawrence for having Jena Griswold explain Colorado's primary ballot. Trump doesn't care about Colorado's 4 electoral votes; We Colorado Republican voters don't care about him either.
Jena Griswold, lol. You're clueless.
But you should take care about your candidates for the house and senat and kick all out those staying there today. They are all Trumpers and have voted against the impeachment in 2021!! Thy gave aid and comfort to the insurrectionist Trump.
Any elected government employee is an “officer” of the government in my opinion. Vote Blue!💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
The “president” of any organization is always a member of the organization, in my experience. The president of a company is always, in my experience, an employee of the company. In any private society (professional or civic society) that I have been a member of (I’m a joiner), the bylaws have always been explicit that the president of the society must be a member in good standing of the society.
How does one hold office as POTUS, and not be an officer?
Because the constitution defines officers as people appointed by congress or the president.
@@yellowgamer5308Does it? As far as I know, the definition was provided by the 39th Congress, convened in 1865, that identified the "officers of the United States" as "the President, Vice President, and members of Congress."
Article 2 section 2 of the constitution
"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."
The President along with congress appoints all Officers of the United States, this is why article 15 section 3 had to explicitly call out senators and representatives instead of putting them under the umbrella of officers.
Thanks so much for sharing 💙💙💙
Don't forget the 'aid or comfort' he is still giving. Participating in the J6 choir and continuously saying he will pardon them and that they are political prisoners. If that doesn't qualify as 'aid or comfort' I don't know what would.
He doesn't say they are political prisoners - he says they are hostages!
I always come away with more knowledge after watching Lawrence. Excellent interview with regards to your last NY times reporter. Great insight.
Apparently Mr. Trump's attorneys were not able to access the online Webster's...of the 19th century.
Sounds like Stanberry wrote his opinion with Trump in mind over 100 years ago .
Being told you're loved is definitely comforting.
---- < Trump not only said, "We love you", he said, "This is only the beginning".
@four4e: Just what are you trying to write?!! Where in ANY part of this Very Important Vital Discussion IS there ANY Mention of “being told your loved is definitively‘comforting’??? STOP WASTING Time and American’s Attention in this CRITICAL TIME in America’s Very SURVIVAL!!!

Man woman camera teevee... ashtray ..you're information retention is slowing with age...🤪 I can't remember exactly but it might have something to do with giving aid and comfort .ps I'm not American, you are reaping what you've sown

Ignore Trump, hold the GOP responsible. Courts are not needed if the GOP won't embrace him.
Trump will come and go, one way or another. But the GOP will remain. Hold their feet to the fire.
Today's GOP is Trump's. May the Republican party go the way of the Whig party!
Their combined _toe cheeses_ might constitute a massive health hazard, though.
@@davegreene8588 Gross 🤮
@@davegreene8588 I mean, have you _seen_ MTG's feet? It made actual headlines when she wore sandals!
The GOP is dead. It was eaten alive by the Trumpians.
Only the shell remains. The Trumpians wear it as it if it is theirs and theirs alone.
They claim that the actual Republicans from before the Trumpian movement are somehow Republicans in Name Only.
In fact, the Trumpians are the RINOs. They are not Republicans. They just run as Republicans. Everyone with half a brain knows they are Trumpians and not Republicans.
Aided and comforted. Done deal.
The Lawyers miss giving Aid and Comfort.
Fingers crossed 🤞 the SCOTUS does the right thing.
Don't hold your breath.
You know you're in a true democracy when the people have to wait and see if the rulers do what the people want.
Lawrence O'Donnell: A National Treasure.
Very interesting point by Friedman, that before Oct. 7th Israel was looking to join with its Arab neighbors (Abraham Accords) and Ukraine was looking to join the West (NATO). Who didn't like either prospect? Putin. (btw, Putin's birthday is October 7th. Just by the way.)
Putin has been meddling wherever and whenever he can for quite some time. Its just amazing how successful he's been at it.
Geshem Israel Geshem Israel elehenu Adonai Hashem. Schlama. Malkuth. Khubba
Really, I don’t understand why people don’t mention that this timing is all about Putin’s interference. It perfectly fits his plans for turning Americans against each other.

In 1789, the word "Arms" meant a musket & a pirate pistol.
@mickmccrory8534 In 1791 the "Bill of Rights" amended the Constitution to protect the individual from 'Government' oppression.
Second Amendment: "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" is a law for the Government.
And in this day and age they have evolved into guns, which are just as deadly. I just wish the US would consider to bring the Constitution into the 21st century!
@@u2mister17 ----< The right to bear arms is not absolute or without limits. It's not a free-for-all with no accountability or consequences.. Even if there were justification for an insurrection, which there was not,, it would not be lawful.
@@jannmutube The world knows the 2020 Presidential election was stolen.
"Insurrection" is nothing like January 6th and the world knows that also.

Well if that is the case President Biden would have the power to do whatever he wants and not be charged with any crime, for he could hold on to power as long as he is alive, wouldn't that be great!
The supreme court should restore trust and ethics in the judiciary by staying out of Trump’s circus of buffoonery.
My 7 year old niece can kick this apart. Starting off with office of the President is occupied by an OFFICER.
_Highest Officer_ , do you always rely on little children for your advice? ...rhetorical question.

The oath of office requires ALL who take it to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
they freely acknowledge that they want to abolish the constitution.
All the supreme court needs to know in order to make this decision is the english language.
Plus honesty.
Oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this country when he placed his hand on that Bible and swore that oath I guess that he is a lier 😂😅😊😅

Always sage insights on Lawrence's show. Thanks.
I am not an American. There are billions of us in other free countries. The Donald Trump fiasco show keeps us entertained for hours. This latest episode of shall-we, or shall-we -not, allow his name in the ballot? It is one more step, just as crazy, if not crazier, than the mind-bending magat-inspired alternative reality that the Americans appear to regard as normal. Another step nearer to the Sino/ Russo/Yankee Compact which everyone, except the Americans, know is coming.
Thank you for your support 🎉🎉🎉💙
Most Americans do not consider Trump or his maggots normal.

“A vote for a write-in candidate shall not be counted unless that candidate is qualified to hold the office for which the elector’s vote was cast.”
That lets out the malodorous, traitorous trump.
Donald Trump’s Name is on Epstein List.
I bet Fox won’t Report about that. 🤣🤣
Maga cultists will scream that Clinton is on it and be silent about Trump being on it, unless it is to defend him.
He borrowed his plane to fly to Mar-a-largo for one day, rich people borrow each others planes when their plane's are down... Yawnnnnn😴

Lawrence, keep up the good work, i enjoy your insights.
It is very hard to critique Israel without incurring an accusation of antisemitism ESPECIALLY in terms of their treatment of Palestinians in particular and Arab Israelis in general.
According to the Israeli government, even Emma Watson saying "solidarity with Palestine" qualifies as antisemitism somehow.
I have no faith in the Supreme Court
Didn't he want the metal detectors removed ?!! He said they were not coming after him!!!
Guns was the issue!! You lose!
Choose correctly or be revealed as unfit for purpose.
An argument I have not heard is that Trump should be barred to be sure the ballots are open to legitimate candidates.
That was under the hood of the Colorado case brought by republicans.
Any Republican would support Project 2025.
Therefore, they are not legitimate candidates
There definitely should be a disclosure added to the ballots to indicate that, if the Court decision comes down that Trump is not allowed on the ballots, any vote for Trump will be thrown out.
Because, yeah, that is what will happen.
Sounds like comfort to me
When you hold elected office, you ARE an officer. Period. Office is the root word of officer. Only an officer can hold office.
Can we please lock this guy up. And shut him up.please.
Can I just subscribe to Lawrence O’Donnell? I love this guy, he has the best TDS in mainstream media. His delivery is perfect. He’s like a stand up comedian for laughing at how ridiculous Trump is.
So good. Always brings a smile to my face.
I still am not concerned about this ballot thing. Even though Colorado banned him, appeals stopped that from happening. I just want to concentrate on the next challenge. He can’t hold office. Then we can deal with the rest of the MAGA congress people.
This man is out of control. Lock him up 😢😢😢,
I am very curious wether the judges took their oath to the constitution or to Trump. That might be the llitmus test for the future quality of democracy in the USA...

Asking the SCOTUS for help is liking a wolf to spare the sheep fold.
How can He Hold a Security Clearance ? Being Chief Officer over the Military I served in
How you take an oath of office, but not an officer?
Who counted the days to sign up to run before I got to CT. Good question bc I have concerns about how I was debilitated 2013 on and why. Not realistic for me to have run in CT with competence but limiting my options in all realms is smthg that others are celebrating and expect leaders to reverse the appearance of that and disincentivize it
I can bet that, Supreme Court Will not touch this case and send it back to the States.
Really concerned about how my things were used for others campaigns after I got my degrees and some experience in reno
A bunch of people who support ME outside of WE expect answers and accountability
the law is plain and clear - no court needs to get involved - disqualification should be automatic. Just like no court needs to decide if the president needs to be a U.S. citizen, this prohibition is as plainly clear.

Thank-you Lawrence. Vote BLUE. 'Nuff said.

The unjust unequal justice in America is destroying American.
We have to admit that both sides are saying that at this point.
The Colorado Secretary of State is hamstrung. She said that she will abide by the ruling made, but the time factor is working against her wishes. I don't want Trump's name on their ballot either. So I hope that the plurality of voters vote for the Republican other than Trump. I know there is no way to prevent voters from writing in Trump's name on the ballot. I know its been a rarity in elections where the write-in candidate has won beating the candidates named. But the odds are against winning as a write-in candidate.
"Elected to office", heworks in the oval office, but is no officer? So ridiculous. Ad t 6 jan he was no president anymore, whats this all about, beside a loss of time?
Babylon has fallin
He took the oath of OFFICE, occupied the oval OFFICE and OFFICE of the president who is an elected OFFICIAL. Sounds like an OFFICER to me.
Thomas should recuse hisself.
☝️🙄⚖️ 💙🇺🇲👉These so called legal questions about the 14th. Ammendment are mute... it plainly says: "ENGAGED IN", & "OR GAVE AID, & COMFORT TO THE INSURECTIONISTS"... What don't these people understand about this?
thinking singing with their choir and calling them heroes and patriots might be aid or comfort or both.
Yes! He watched the riot for hours from his office and refused to lift a finger to stop it. He has promised to free criminals from jail. Kind of textbook definition
He told them he wanted peace and then told them to go home! 🤦🏻♀️
Perhaps Colorado should print two sets of ballots, one with Trump and one without. This way, the decision by the Court can be made up to the day before the election and the appropriate set of ballots used according to that decision.
All three Supreme Court justices appointed by Trump should recuse themselves. And CT should recuse as well. Let the rest decide Trumps fate.
If he gets kicked off of main ballot Donald Trump wont to get the primary
Priv·i·lege:

You're welcome to try oh chosen one
Colorado should print two sets of Ballots. One with and one without Trump's name on it. Kept separately, the one that is incorrect could easily be destroyed.
Vote trump out of every where 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Hmmm aid or comfort, like selling arms to an enemy of the US, i.e. Iran
one question. if trump had been a Democrat would the GOP want this? the law should apply to anyone regardless of party. the law is reason free from emotion. and since thomas simply canNOT be free from emotion since his wife was part of the insurrection, he MUST step away. or leave (better choice but who's going to turn away all those free trips and goodies!)
SO THE 14TH AMENDMENT SECTION 3 ISN'T SO CUT AND DRY AFTER ALL? IT DEPENDS UPON WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ASK!
Theres no competition with my brother and if sweat is about that and lebrons headband (story) that needs to be fixed
Tom Friedman is one of the most perceptive observers we have. After Oslo the Palestinians were so optimistic. Then Yitzhak Rabin was killed by a far-right Israeli, Benjamin Netanyahu tore up the Oslo agreement saying cynically he did not see his signature on the document, and Peace Now went from organizing demonstrations of several hundred thousand to shrinking to meaninglessness. The moderate Palestinian politicians eg. Hanan Ashrawi, Mustafa Barghouti were sidelined as were the moderate Israeli politicians eg. Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak. Netanyahu hates the Palestinians. He and Hamas ‘need’ one another as boogeymen, like in the past the IRA and Ian Paisley in N. Ireland. Extremists feed off of each other and the moderate middle is pushed to the side. Only the moderate middle on both sides working together can ever provide lasting stability.
