A nine to nothing ruling. But the justices did agree. In fact that it is not up to the states to enforce an execute the 14th Amendment. You saw at Justices Alito and thomas in agreement with Justices Sotomayor and kagan on that point. Its simply he could not be as a matter of law, as a matter of constitutional interpretation, that every state gets to do what it wants, because otherwise that would leave us with a quote, patchwork of different states doing Different Things according to the decision. So its a rare 90 opinion and i think they hit the nail on the head here now we saw two concurring opinions, one by Justice Amy Coney barrett, and one by the three liberal leaning justices. They really had a big disagreement there yeah, i think the actual amount of disagreement here isnt that much when you drill down on it, its important to understand all nine justices agreed. Its not up to the states. The five justices in the main opinion said it has to be done by congress only congress can e
As colorado goes to the polls, Sisters Mandy and nicky are headed to the ice. We are such a divided nation. But the one thing i like is when i walk into the hockey rink, were all the same. The feeling is rather different on the Campaign Trail, as 15 states are holding votes to pick their president ial candidates. Crooked joe biden, youre fired before polls have even closed, theres been a victory for donald trump. The state of colorado was in a fight to kick him off the ballot entirely for his role in the capitol riots onjanuary 6th. But the Us Supreme Court struck it down. His republican opponent is undeterred. I defeated a dozen of the fellas. Cheering. Ijust have one more fella i got to catch up to. The question is whether nikki haley quits the race, or decides to hang on. It wasnt president joe biden, but the first lady doing the rounds on the democratic side, going after female voters. Donald trump is dangerous to women and to our families. We simply cannot let him win. But the pro
Also a Pivotal Moment for the republican contender nikki haley . It is. President biden will be the democratic nominee and donald trump is probably going to be the republican nominee. People are saying that this is nikki haleys last band. I dont think it is the end for her. For her it isnt about the maths and the electoral college, she is trying to make a statement. I think it is crazy that conservative republicans arent taking her seriously. But i think there is more in the future for her. I dont know if it is third party or the no labels party that has been backing her so far, but i think there is more to be heard from her. And im hoping for an upset, at least in one state, tomorrow. Just for fun. Upset, at least in one state, tomorrow. Just forfun. In tomorrow. Just for fun. In terms of tomorrow. Just for fun. In terms of Super Tuesday, i have seen a few elections, as im sure you have, how would you rate this for drama . It is probably the least exciting one, isnt it . It probably t
Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper this hour, a forceful moment today from the israeli ambassador to the United Nations trying to get the world holds attention about atrocities of war against israel. The rape cannot continue. The Sexual Violence cannot continue hamas must be eliminated rapist mass murder, and must never be given a free pass by the un. And terror cannot, can never be tolerated hey underscoring that he says acts of Sexual Violence by hamas, including raping women held hostage, have not stopped. What the Ambassador Says needs to happen before any kind of ceasefire between israel and hamas can be reconsidered. Plus the election days so big it goes by Super Tuesday. Were on the cusp of it primary contests in 16 states plus American Samoa cant forget them. Why tomorrow means so much, no matter which date you may live in. And leading this hour. Efforts to take donald trump off 2024 ballots in maine, in illinois, and colorado now shut down that in the wake of todays unanimous
Chinese economy. Now, normally, this is a kind of rubber stamp session where pre approved decisions are cleared and made official. But that said, because its so organised and because we already know, or at least the government already knows, what its going to announce, then we can get an idea of what theyre thinking. And people are going to want to know what the plan is for the economy. Theres huge pressure on the real estate sector, local government debt, University Graduates are looking for good jobs all these bread and butter issues, just like in other countries. And even though this is a kind of turgid, rubber stamp mass gathering, people will nevertheless be looking for some concrete solutions to come out of it. And just elaborate, if you could, a bit more about the issues or the biggest issues that are on the minds of people youve spoken to. Yeah, its economy, economy, economy this year. I mean, sure, therell be, you know, talk of relations with taiwan and the us and the environm
