the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that states can’t individually ban candidates for federal office from their state ballot under the 14th Amendment. The move wasn’t a surprise to anyone who watched the oral arguments last month, but there was some question about whether the ruling would be unanimous. Many experts predicted a unanimous ruling, though at times, it appeared that Justice Sonia Sotomayor might dissent.
Donald Trump reacted to the ruling during an interview with Boston-area radio host Howie Carr.
« I know this was anticipated, but you have to feel pretty good about it, » Carr said.
« Well, I do, » Trump said. « And I was very honored by a nine-to-nothing vote. »
He added that this ruling really wasn’t about him.
« This is for future presidents, » he said. « This is not for me; this is for future presidents, all presidents. »
Naturally, the unanimous ruling sent shockwaves through the liberal media. Polls showed that an overwhelming majority of Democrats wanted Trump booted from the ballot, and since the overwhelming majority of the media is made up of Democrats, members of the media were largely unhappy with the ruling.
« Unhappy” is an understatement. They are outright livid, and it’s a glorious sight to behold. Keith Olbermann, for one, literally called for the Supreme Court to be dissolved.
« The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy,” he opined.
