Trump Responds to SCOTUS Win and Leftists Will HATE It
If those leaning leftward weren't already fuming over Donald Trump's triumph in the Supreme Court, his informal victory declaration might just push them past the breaking point.
Recall back to December when the Colorado Supreme Court attempted to oust Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
This dispute escalated to the U.S. Supreme Court, and on Monday, SCOTUS ruled unanimously in favor of the former president.
In its verdict, the court stated that while "States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office," they "have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency."
Trump hailed the decision as "unifying and inspirational" and celebrated it as "a great win for America" in remarks to Fox News.
He then turned his attention to another contentious issue—the case regarding presidential immunity, also under Supreme Court consideration, much to the Democrats' dismay.
Trump articulated to Fox, "Equally important for our country will be the decision that they will soon make on immunity for a president—without which, the presidency would be relegated to nothing more than a ceremonial position, which is far from what the founders intended."
Reacting further from Mar-a-Lago, the former president expressed confidence that the Supreme Court's 9-0 ruling in the Colorado case would foster national unity.
"I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together," Trump remarked. "You cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way. The voters can take the person out of the race very quickly, but a court shouldn’t be doing that and the Supreme Court saw that very well."
"I really do believe that will be a unifying factor."
Democrats have been quick to condemn the idea of Colorado citizens having a say in the Republican primary—Trump's characterization of this decision as "unifying and inspirational" might just send them over the edge.
Their animosity towards the highest court in the land has been evident, from labeling SCOTUS as illegitimate to staging protests outside the homes of justices they oppose, and baselessly accusing Clarence Thomas (their nemesis, following Trump) of corruption.
If Trump's claim of presidential immunity holds, the outcry over the "death of democracy" will be thunderous.
This prompts the question—who are the true adversaries of the rule of law?
