. well, look at that. the supreme court is right where it did not want to be, smack dab in the middle maybe of the 2024 election with the first votes in just a few days, tonight on laura coates live. okay. so if we re being honest, we knew this day was coming, right? i mean even if the supreme court did not want this day to come, they re probably still recovering a little bit from bush v. gore, and this seems to be the worst kind of deja vu. maybe that s why after several hours behind closed doors talking today, drum roll, please, the supreme court said yes to the dress. they will decide whether donald trump, the former president of the united states, one who is trying to become the president yet again, can even actually be on a ballot after his role on january 6th. well, which ballot? well, this one concerns colorado, but the supreme court knows that the floodgates, they re about to open. it s already been and i can t believe it either three years as of tomorrow sinc
