Hour, and we are told he will talk about the big u. S. Supreme Court Victory for him today. The decision was unanimous, and it says colorado must include former President Trump on the states primary ballot. The high court issued a 90 rejection. Wow. They all agreed a rejection of colorados attempt to disqualify donald trump. And the effect could be farreaching, because you know both maine and illinois have also taken his name off the ballots, and there are efforts pending all across the country. A big day for trump. Im harris faulkner. You are in the faulkner focus. A quick recap now. Last year, the Colorado State Supreme Court cited Section Three of the 14th Amendment as grounds for removal of Donald Trumps name. That is the socalled insurrectionist clause. It was originally used to prevent former confederates from Holding Public office. Colorado claimed it applied to trump over his role in the january 6th capitol hill riot. Trumps appeal made it all the way to the u. S. Supreme court, and now that resounding victory for him. Fox news chief legal correspondent, shannon bream, is here. Shannon, just in the last little while since this was announced, i would have to imagine that maine and illinois and many of the other states that are thirsty to get his name off the ballot are looking at this. Shannon mmhmm, and what they have found out, as the court said, you cannot do it. They are part of Super Tuesday so they ballots already had President Trumps name on them. What they said essentially is, if he loses at the u. S. Supreme court, then we will not count votes cast for him. But now they are going to have to. Again, 90, the court has made it clear they speak in one voice on this, though they have some squabbles about that and how the decision was reached. They put that out in public in these conferences. But they have made clear is that any state considering this, it is over now. Harris whats next for colorado . Shannon colorado is part of Super Tuesday tomorrow. His name is on the ballot. They are going to have to count those votes and go into the totals of whatever he gets tomorrow as part of that. I do think thats why the court, although we were not expecting this opinion today, yesterday we got what it is very unconventional for them, a lastminute announcement that this would come because they knew there were millions of people heading to the polls tomorrow, and there have been arguments about whether its fair to ask people to go and cast ballots not having the confidence about whether they are going to be counted or not. Let me walk you through a couple points of the opinion is people are digesting this now. Basically we speak with one voice, essentially the court is putting this together without an author. I think i know who it was, but there is no author identified. They say this. Statebystate resolution of the question whether Section Three buys a particular candidate for president from serving would be quite unlikely to yield the uniform act wow answer consistent with the basic principle that the president represents all the voters in the nation. You heard this, harris. Remember the questions across the board, including Justice Kagan and justice jackson, saying, why do we let a handful of states dictate whatever but he does . So they thought that could be very dangerous. Harris its interesting, we got to see that. A nation got to watch, actually listen to what the justices argued about and what their questions were. We got to hear all of that in real time right here on fox, millions of people watched it. From their questions, i remember you and i talked about this, those were very specific too, can this actually happened . And i dont know if any people were expecting it to be at obvious. Shannon after the arguments, i think we all came out of this thinking, former President Trump is going to win this case. As a common unanimous voice . I thought we could have gotten this opinion a week or so ago. So the longer the delay went on, the more i thought the chief is trying to get to 90. By allowing these concurrences to come in, it gives everybody a place to speak their piece. They could do that but he still gets to come out and the chief can say this was united decision 90. Just a little bit of that concurrence, they said they thought the court went too far. By resolving these questions, they attempt to insulate all insurrectionist from future challenges to their holding federal office. We should have left it at that. The majority opinion, in this case, discussed a lot of other questions. So in their take on this case, those three thought the court didnt need to go that far. We want to leave some of those questions open f for the future. Harris shannon bream, thank you for getting us started. I want to bring in Jonathan Turley now, Constitutional Law attorney and professor at George Washington university. Fox news contributor. Also along, and router, former federal prosecutor first of all, jonathan, you heard shannon and we will often say this about the Supreme Court. We speak with one voice. The loudest voice i heard today was that on behalf of voters. What was being asked here would have inserted an instability into a system that has been the most stable and successful democracy in history. And what these advocates were arguing is that any state could Potenessentially Cleanse their ballots as a candidate from one party or the other. A court here spoke with one voice, as many of us hoped they would. This is remarkable, because for months, readers and listeners have been hearing from a lot of other outlets that this was what was called an unassailable theory. They were told the conservatives would just band together to vote for trump. Well, that didnt happen. All of the justices spoke with one voice. They all said that this was wrong and unconstitutional. The point of dissension, if there was one, was that the opinion went too far, that the majority tried to essentially close off future attacks. It is clear that many of them want to remove the court from this theory, and some of the justices said they didnt need to go that far. But the most important thing is that the court is showing a divided country, a bitterly divided country. We do have things that we share in common. We do have a covenant that we hold with the constitution. And that is perhaps the most important thing to come out of this. Its not just the court, but most of the country speaking with one voice and rejecting this very dangerous theory. Harris just in time for Super Tuesday. For 20 states, millions of voices via their votes in 20 states. I love how you put that. A covenant we hold with the constitution. God bless our country. All right, andrew. First of all, quickly, how rare is it for a u. S. Supreme court to come in with the unanimous vote . Well, it is rare, especially a court as divided as we have right now in america. This 90 victory for donald trump i think signals that this theory was a fringe legal theory, and that is exactly the problem we have in america right now. Theres so much coming against donald trump, theres a lot of platforming on the left of what are the various legal theories e up, and the cool thing to do that day and to talk about on the lefts media channel. This was an attack on the candidacy for the president that was specifically looking to segregate america into the red states and the blue states. And the Supreme Court wasnt having it. I think the decision that came out 90 per curiam sends a strong signal to the country and that it is an indication that this court is trying very hard to take politics out of the law. Harris whats next . We know it is immunity. Talk with us about if we have seen anything that would tell us about a president s immunity. And lay it out for us, andrew. There are opinions that go both ways on the immunity issue. I happen to be of the camp that believes the Immunity Claim is very strong for donald trump. We have the president who has to act in office with the assurance that they are not going to be prosecuted for any one of the decisions they make as soon as they step out of that office. There is a tremendous number of very difficult decisions that have to be made, primarily in light of what we do in our Foreign Relations and war efforts that go on overseas. Even the death of a soldier overseas could come back to an american president as negligent homicide. If they didnt listen to exactly the right advisor at the right time. There is a countless number of much more nuanced legal issues that could come up during the presidency. Such that, the moment they step out of office, prosecutions come up. It is going to create a fear in the president that will cause him to be unable to do his job. So i actually think the Immunity Claim is very strong and that the country should be tuned in very closely to that, and that he has a strong argument. Harris if it is so important, jonathan, why does it come up now . I am less confident on the immunity issue. I think jack smith has the advantage. I expect the court is most likely to support the lower court decision, but that doesnt mean they are going to support the same rationale. There are some major questions here that are probably giving some discomfort to the justices. Yes, in the earlier argument, the trump team was asked whether the president could kill his political opponents and not be criminally charged. President obama didnt kill his opponents, certainly, but he Did Vaporize An American Citizen without any trial or criminal charge. The question is, cannot also be subject to Criminal Liability . Those are the types of questions that some of the justices may want to see answered. They may be trying to look for a greater delineation of this question. The more important case for trump may actually not be the immunity case. The more important case may be something of a sleeper on the docket, a challenge not by trump but have a january 6th defendant over the use of the Obstruction Statute against him for the riot that occurred january 6th. That is one of the charges brought against trump. If the court agrees that provision was inappropriately used to charge defendants, a great number of them, including trump, it would cause a serious problem in the prosecution. At the moment harris oh, interesting. Even assuming the Court Decides around june and sends us back to the district court, they could have a trial, but that case could add another wrinkle another problem. Harris it is so close to the election. Thats correct. Harris it is just so close. Great to have both of you today, andrew and jonathan. Thank you very much.

And trumps team predicts a delicate avalanche for him. He is hoping to lock up the nomination. Super tuesday is nikki haleys last shot. President biden has no competition on the democrat side, but facing political crippling new National Poll numbers head of the state of Union Address on thursday of this week. Take a look at these polls, all, again, and national. Trump beats biden in a general election matchup. This New York Times survey has speed at 48 , biden at 43 . That is trumps largest margin over biden since 2015. Arguably worse for biden, fewer than half of democrats say he should be the nominee for their party. Yet again, shrugging it all off. First what matters is how people vote, and we have consistently, as democrats come over performed in polls. Harris the wall street Journal Editorial Board says all of this bad polling means panic time for democrats, adding, worse is the public mood. Only a quarter or fewer of americans think the country is moving in the right direction, and they think bidens presidency has done more harm than good. Aishah hasnie, in beautiful west palm beach, florida, with a beautiful look at the g. O. P. Faceoff. Everything is beautiful because you are in florida. Aishah . It is stunning, harris. Good afternoon to you. I know you are envious, beautiful palm beach, florida. The Supreme Court ruling today has given the Trump Campaign even more wind in their sails. As if they needed anymore. They were in a pretty good spot until very confident going into tomorrows Super Tuesday. Again, saying they expect to wrap this up by next tuesday when they hit that Delegate Count of 1215. Thats the goal. Look at where they stand right now. Trump has 244, he spoke to michigan, missouri, and idaho, far behind with 43 delegates. Tonight north dakota and its 29 delegates are up for grabs. As you mentioned, a lot of brandnew great polling for the former president , pretty fired up about this one. Hes gaining ground with voters, as well, like Hispanic Voters and black voters in these polls. Nikki haley has a little more Comfortable Lead here, 50 to bidens 42 , outside the margin of error. Also, trump is doing better with youth voters. You can see, against joe biden, hes at 51 to jill bidens 45 , and the top issue going into Super Tuesday, again, immigration and the economy. The economy is the number one issue here. Heres what voters are telling fox in those Super Tuesday states. Biden cannot beat trump. I dont think its a possibility. I havent Made Up My Mind yet. If nikki doesnt win the nomination, hopefully she will go third party. So haley is not promising any wins on tuesday, so you might be wondering, if she cannot win, can she pick up enough delegates here and there to influence trump perhaps at the rnc . Can she be a Bernie Sanders type of person . To trump team doesnt think so. Im told by sources that the trump camp has not yet reached out to team haley to cut a deal and get her to drop out before the rnc. They are very confident going into Super Tuesday that this is it. Harris . Harris thats okay, answer to anything, especially mom. But not from you. Just my kids. Thank you. Another big concern from democrats, a huge excitement gap. A new poll finds only 23 of democrats are enthusiastic about President Biden. Twice as many say they are satisfied, that nearly half of republicans say they are enthusiastic about donald trump. The power panel now. Tammy bruce, fox news contributor. Jonathan caught, for joe manchin. Great to have you both. Jonathan, i will come to you first. Why are the people in your party not excited to vote for biden . We are excited to vote for biden. 900 people were surveyed. He had a historic last quarter of fundraising, which is a way to sort of gauge how much people are excited. I would also point out that every time he overperforms polls, people come back and say, what about the next po
