States Can Now Give Middle-Schoolers They Right to Vote for President. Only Congress Can Stop That.

Yes, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, there's now NOTHING to stop a state from passing legislation giving 12-year olds the vote! Or even first-graders, for that matter!

After all, they allowed Trump to continue his run for the presidency, despite being found to be an insurrectionist.

How, they kicked the can to Congress, blaming wording on the 14th Amendment.

Guess what the 26th Amendment says:

[quote]Twenty-Sixth Amendment

Section 1

The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.

Section 2

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[/quote]

@Jimmy2016

The U.S. Supreme Court let stand the Colorado Supreme Court's finding that Trump is an insurrectionist.

The decision was not thought out very well, and was rushed out today before Super Tuesday tomorrow. And in doing so, they didn't scrub the metadata on the SCOTUS website, which shows that originally the decision was 6-3 with three dissenting Justices, not the 9-0 unanimous verdict they announced. Obviously some last minute changes occurred which may have involved a little wheeling and dealing. I wonder how the Court will rule on the Trump immunity case?

The decision was 9-0 to leave Trump on the ballot. But four of the Justices wrote a separate decision, the three most liberal ones together and Amy Coney Barrett separately.

@beckyromero Behind the scenes, the metadata released in the ruling shows it was originally a 6-3 decision with a dissent written by Sotomayer. Some horse trading went on to get it to 9-0. Barrett鈥檚 opinion may have been part of that.

The only insurrection that happened in the USA was started in 1861 by the demonocrats

Different time. That party is long dead. Just as Trump has killed the GOP.
