last week, maine secretary of state removed trump from the primary ballot, team trump appeal that decision in state court yesterday. there is other states, as they say. but wait, there is more. because the oregon supreme court could soon rule on a bid to remove trump to remove trump from their primary and general election ballots because of his role on january 6th. now, the supreme court is in the hot seat now. all nine justices. so, i assuming they don t all recuse himself. but why didn t trump wait until now? if you abandon, what we have seen this kind of trademark, delay, delay, delay strategy. and frankly, what will happen next? i want to bring in noah bookbinder, executive director of citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington, who brought this case. also joining us is someone i will get to in just a moment here. but noah, let me we ve talked about this case a
battery. and we are told she and a court martial were hurt and taken to the hospital after what you saw there. me laura coates, really unbelievable moment there. i hope that that judge is safe tonight. it s unbelievable to think about that. you hope that she is safe. but it also reminds you of the danger that many in the judicial branch are facing on a day-to-day basis, not just the supreme court, not just the more high-profile matters, but every single day, what it is like on the front lines of justice. thank you so much, abby. thanks, laura. i thank you. donald trump, going to the supreme court. but what took him so long? tonight, on laura coates live now, this is the case we have all been watching and waiting for. some might call it the big kahuna. donald trump asking the united states supreme court, the highest court in all the land,
we are focusing on main. and let s see what happens here. all right, fine. i ll let that stand. thank you so much. thank you. just a short while ago, on cnn, colorado secretary of state did respond to the appeal. it does not make sense to allow the president to engage in insurrection and get off scot-free. a president, the person who has arguably the most power in this country, should not be able to do that type of action and run again, when every other elected official would be barred from doing so. donald trump is basically arguing to the united states supreme court that he did not engage an insurrection. but, even if he, did it s okay. he can still be president again. i disagree with that. regardless of my sentiments, this is a big case in front of the united states supreme court. and i do believe that the united states supreme court should tell the american people whether a president engaged in
reconcile that very issue about what the framers contemplated and whether it was this clause that should apply to presidents as well as other so-called officers who take the oath. i want to bring in krista kayford, a long time colorado republican, and plaintive in the case. she joins us now. krista, since the last time you are on the show, maine also found trump ineligible. oregon might well do the same. i wonder how you are feeling today, now that this is really likely to go before the supreme court. this is where was always headed, i believe. this is something the court really needs to weigh in on. they need to weigh in a cut on a couple of different questions, including what is he an officer? is he even somebody that this applies to the particular clause of the 14th amendment? we believe it does, when you look at original anguish at the time, there is that we re discussing it.
collins, and nikki haley, moderated by cnn erin burnett s. i will be here, along with abby phillip when they wrap up. what would you do on vacation? what did you do on vacation? what are you going to do on vacation again? well, congress is in session, and scores of house republicans are in hopes of tuturning up t the t on joeoe biden. i m onon the case,e, next.
