DENVER (AP) — The campaign to use the U.S. Constitution’s “insurrection” clause to bar former President Donald Trump from running for the White House again enters a new phase this week as hearings begin in two states on lawsuits that might end up reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.

A weeklong hearing on one lawsuit to bar Trump from the ballot in Colorado begins Monday, while on Thursday oral arguments are scheduled before the Minnesota Supreme Court on an effort to kick the Republican former president off the ballot in that state.

What did Justice Ginsberg do here except work until almost her death?

But yeah: if they can't get justice Clearance Thomas off the bench and break the politically-fixated court of its partiality problems, then we're screwed.

Don't take people's vote, and don't rob them of justice, lest there be cars flipped and burning in the street.

She could have retired in the middle of the Obama admin, so he could appoint a not-nazi judge.
