tRump big loser on immunity and "double jeopardy"; wins on ballot removal; loses big in NY fraud case; GA: all defendants will be tried in state court, no remove for any of the petitioners...and nobody can figure out FL and docs case
That's my picks and I'm sticking with them...oh, GO HUSKIES!

Lance:what argument prevails in 14th03 case? And what split among Justices? I think we might be in for a surprise 5-3 as Gorsuch and Kav side w/ 3 Dems on 14th argument inasmuch as tRump lawyer тАЬStupid HabbaтАЭ boasted publicly that those two owe him-- puts those guys in a difficult position, doesnтАЩt it? Plus Gorsuch already ruled on the 14th as a Circuit Court Judge?
SCOTUS will look for anything rather than striking tRump off the ballot...even relying on the sketchy *Griffin's Case* opinion by Justice Samuel Chase, assuming they don't argue the factual determination of the CO courts that tRump indeed is an "insurrectionist". Hell, a majority may even be won over by the "not self-executing" argument...my point is, there isn't five Justices who will vote to disqualify tRump, IMHO, because of the "political" - not constitutional - implications of doing so.
I tend to agree on Kavanaugh. Certainly he cannot possibly allow himself to vote in favor of trump, ESPECIALLY since Habba said that. Let's face it: ALL THESE JUSTICES ARE LIFETIME JUSTICES, so they owe no allegiance to trump; unfortunately, they do owe allegiance to those smarmy billionaires who reward them lavishly. I dearly hope they stay out of the fray. Surely, trump can just as easily sully them, too.
The Gorsuch ruling in Hassan v. Colorado, dealt with a Colorado state statute enforcing the federal constitutional requirement that a person must be a naturally born citizen of the United States in order to run for the presidency. So he didn't specifically rule on the 14th amendment and in any event not on the "insurrection" aspect of it. I don't think either Gorsuch or Kavanaugh give a flying F as to Habba's remarks.
But the factual finding as to insurrection after a trial by the Colorado Supremes normally cannot be rejected in federal court and Gorsuch ruling held firm to the intent of the Constitution as to the meaning of the 14th without applying all the other procedural arguments like тАЬenablingтАЭ etc ????
The SCOTUS can find that Congress hasn't defined 'insurrection' thus negating the 'factual finding' of the CO Sup Ct. Gorsuch's prior ruling was with respect to a state statute enforcing the requirement for election as president under Article II of the Constitution, not the 14th Amendment.
I think they'll dismiss the Sxn 3 case(s) for lack of standing. The plaintiffs must be Rs, and I imagine some of them are, but what harm will they suffer if the Duck is on the primary ballot? You can make an argument but so long as there's one semi-credible argument the other way, the Court can grasp that straw.
Very possible...clearly they will rule nothing with regard to insurrection but try to escape criticism by rejecting the Colorado decision on scketchy procedural grounds or origialism will win out????? and in that case, they will be stuck with ruling him off the ballot?

Gosh, I hope youтАЩre incorrect.

I like your optimism. I donтАЩt share it, but itтАЩs nice to see someone still has hope that SCOTUS will do something honorable.

And Thomas finally gives up!
