In \u2063a unanimous\u2064 decision, the\u2063 Supreme\u200d Court ruled<\/a> that\u2063 states\u200c cannot \u200cuse section 3 of the 14th Amendment to remove Donald Trump from state ballots due<\/a> \u2062to his alleged \u200d”insurrectionist” actions on\u200c Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Discovering\u2064 that state officials lack the \u2062authority to simply\u2062 eliminate prominent presidential candidates\u200d from ballots came as a shocking \u2064revelation\u2064 to\u200b many incredulous left-wingers. Once\u2063 convinced that Trump led a Hitlerian coup that nearly toppled\u200d democracy, any legal theory aimed at stopping him seems not only morally justified but legally sound.<\/p>\n

Just last week, progressives \u200dwere \u200d fuming<\/a> over the Supreme Court’s failure to expedite Trump’s immunity claims\u200b to\u2062 align with Joe Biden’s \u200ccampaign schedule.<\/p>\n
However, the deeper issue is that the left, and anyone obsessed with Trump, struggles to grasp the concept of neutrality in\u2063 law\u200b or principle. The Associated Press mischaracterized<\/a> the court’s decision as “Supreme Court restores Trump to \u200dballot, rejecting state attempts to hold him accountable for attack \u2062on Capitol in 2021.” That\u2062 is not an accurate\u200c representation of\u200d what actually transpired.\u2064 The SCOTUS ruling focused on \u2064the \u2062constitutional question, while Colorado’s attempt \u2064to hold Trump accountable for “insurrection” is highly \u200bdebatable.<\/p>\n
In\u200d any case,\u2062 this case serves\u200c as a reminder\u2062 that the\u200b Supreme Court is perhaps the only functioning institution \u2064of government. By “functioning,” I\u200d don’t mean the court “moves\u200c the country\u200b forward,” “upholds democracy,” or \u2062”keeps us safe,” as leftists claim.\u200c I mean \u2063that the court majority takes its constitutional mandate seriously.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
While SCOTUS doesn’t always get every case right, it generally\u200c operates within normal boundaries. On \u2063the other \u200bhand, Congress has\u2062 relinquished its\u2062 responsibilities on\u2064 war, spending, and governance to the executive branch. Nowadays, it’s more \u2063common to see a congressman engaging in social media spats<\/a> than \u2063actively defending the constitution they swore to uphold.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Democrats often act\u2063 as cheerleaders<\/a> for executive abuse. The White House, in an abnormal manner, regulates \u2062the economy and our lives without oversight from the legislative \u200bbranch or voters. \u200dBiden openly disregards the court, as seen \u2063in \u2062his unconstitutional student loan<\/a> “forgiveness” \u200cplan, which is essentially an attempt to bribe younger voters.<\/p>\n
The \u2063Colorado ballot\u2063 case was so\u200d weak that even Sonia Sotomayor couldn’t support the Democrats. This\u200d is a rarity. Without the originalist justices\u200c appointed \u200cby Trump, unions would still \u200dbe forcing\u200d workers to pay dues for \u200ccauses they don’t support,\u2063 and Americans could lose their businesses\u200c over thought crimes. This court \u2063has also protected the rights to self-defense, free expression, and prevented schools from discriminating based on race. Its significance cannot\u200c be\u2062 overstated.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
In July 2020, the Supreme Court’s approval\u200b rating stood<\/a> at 58 percent. However, a concerted effort by donors, \u2063politicians, and major media organizations<\/a> to smear and delegitimize the court has caused its approval rating to plummet to 41 percent, with disapproval at \u206358 percent, largely \u200ddriven by left-wing voters.<\/p>\n
Most\u200d of the justices have remained resilient against political pressures. The court was \u2064designed to be impervious to\u2064 the fluctuations of public opinion. This is unsettling for individuals like Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a \u200dleading conspiracy \u200ctheorist, who \u200dbelieves low \u200dpoll numbers indicate a legitimacy problem.\u2062 One can’t help but wonder what the 12 percent approval rating of Congress \u2063says about its own legitimacy.<\/p>\n
Whenever the left faces a \u200dsetback at SCOTUS, they\u200b accuse the \u200bjustices, who have a long history of consistent judicial\u200b philosophy, \u2064of corruption. When conservatives lose, the media acts surprised that\u200b the court didn’t\u2064 act in a reflexively partisan manner. This is just another example of \u200bthe left projecting their own behavior onto others.<\/p>\n
The left’s poor record in front\u2064 of the court, which dates \u2063back to Obama’s \u200dhistoric string of \u200blosses,\u2062 is not due to a corrupt SCOTUS, but rather because their vision of governance clashes with the Constitution. If the left fails \u2062to dismantle the court,\u200b it \u200cis likely that blue states will start disregarding its decisions.<\/p>\n
For now, SCOTUS remains one of the last defenses against lawlessness and irrationality.<\/p>\n

How has \u200bthe recent unanimous\u2062 decision\u2062 by the Supreme Court regarding the removal of \u200cDonald Trump from\u2064 state ballots sparked controversy among left-wing individuals<\/a>?<\/h2>\n
The recent \u2063unanimous decision\u2062 by the Supreme Court regarding the removal of Donald\u200d Trump \u200bfrom state \u200dballots has sparked controversy and disagreement among left-wing individuals. The ruling states that states cannot use the 14th Amendment to remove Trump based on his alleged \u200cactions on\u200c January\u200b 6, 2021.<\/p>\n
For many\u2063 left-wingers \u200dwho\u2063 firmly believed in the\u2062 narrative \u2064that\u200c Trump led an insurrectionist coup, \u2064this \u2062decision comes as\u200d a shock. They viewed\u2062 any legal action taken against him as morally justified \u200band legally sound. Last week, progressives were furious when the \u2064Supreme \u200bCourt\u200c failed to expedite Trump’s \u2062immunity claims to\u2064 align \u200cwith Joe Biden’s campaign schedule.<\/p>\n
However, the deeper issue lies in the left’s struggle to \u2063grasp the concept of neutrality in law or principle. The Associated Press mischaracterized the court’s decision as \u200c”restoring Trump to the ballot” and rejecting state attempts to \u200dhold\u200d him accountable for the attack on the Capitol. \u200dThis misrepresentation fails to capture the true nature of the ruling, which focused on a constitutional \u200dquestion, while Colorado’s attempt to hold Trump accountable for “insurrection” remains highly\u200d debatable.<\/p>\n
This case serves as a reminder of the functioning of the\u200c Supreme Court as the only institution of\u200d government that \u200ctakes its constitutional mandate\u2064 seriously. While\u2063 the court may not get every case right, it\u2063 consistently operates within normal \u2062boundaries.\u2064 On the \u2064other\u200b hand, Congress has relinquished its responsibilities on war, spending, and \u2062governance to the executive\u2064 branch. Instead of actively defending the constitution, members of Congress are more \u2062likely to engage in social\u200c media spats.<\/p>\n
Moreover,\u200d Democrats often act as cheerleaders for executive\u200d abuse, allowing the White House to regulate\u2062 the economy and our \u200blives \u2063without oversight from the legislative branch\u200c or voters.\u200d President Biden has openly disregarded \u2062the court, as seen in his\u200b unconstitutional student loan “forgiveness” plan, which is \u2063essentially an attempt to bribe younger voters.<\/p>\n
The weakness of the\u200d Colorado ballot case was evident when even Sonia Sotomayor, a usually firm supporter of \u200dthe\u2062 Democrats, could not \u200csupport their stance. Without the originalist justices\u2063 appointed \u200cby Trump, workers would still be forced \u2062to pay dues for causes they \u200cdon’t support, \u200band\u200d Americans could lose their businesses\u2062 over thought crimes. This court has also protected\u200b the rights to self-defense, free expression,\u2062 and\u200b ensured that schools cannot discriminate based \u200bon race.<\/p>\n
The \u2064significance\u2063 of\u200d the Supreme Court’s role in our government cannot \u2063be overstated.\u2063 It serves as \u2064a vital check and balance,\u2064 upholding the Constitution and\u200b maintaining the integrity of our democracy. \u200dWhile disagreements\u2064 will\u2062 inevitably arise, it is important to respect and acknowledge the impartiality \u2062and constitutional mandate\u200c of the court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
