“The plaintiffs seeking to remove #Trump from #Colorado's 2024 presidential election ballots filed their brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday.
They asked the court to uphold the ruling by Colorado's highest court that Trump engaged in an insurrection against the United States and, accordingly, should be disqualified from the presidential election under Section 3 of the #14thAmendment.” #legal

"#StatesRights!" AmIRight?
If states can ignore the #SCotUS and forbid the U.S. #BorderPatrol from entering, then states can #CodifyRoe, Ban #AR15s, and keep #DarthTraitor off the ballot. #GOPHypocrisy 🤔
@MugsysRapSheet that's not what's happening in this legal proceeding.
The state isn't ignoring SCOTUS. It's that SCOTUS didn't say what so many are running around claiming it said.
@volkris @GottaLaff
#SCotUS ruled that Federal Border officers can come in and cut the razor wire if deemed necessary to save lives.
By prohibiting their entry, they can't do that. So in fact #Texas IS disobeying the SC's ruling. https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-immigration-texas-razor-wire-9daef6bd316211b6633ece718e505187
@MugsysRapSheet when you go directly to the ruling you'll see that's not what they ruled, regardless of the reporting.
Here's the order for you to read for yourself. It's short.
In fact, they would have had to issue a long ruling, not a short order, had they actually ruled that officers can come in an cut razor wire.

@MugsysRapSheet it's not that simple as this is a judicial process involving multiple courts going through processes of hearings and preliminary injunctions and appeals of the injunctions.
If you really want to simplify it that way, though, the answer is no. The appeal was over an injunction that actually allowed Border Patrol in.
But again, this matter is not that simple.
@volkris @GottaLaff
Did #Texas refuse to let the U.S. Border Patrol in or not?
It's really that simple.
