Fox’s Turley Argues ‘All 9’ SCOTUS Justices Should Overturn Trump Ballot Ban: ‘Too Important Not To Speak As One’

 

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley said that all nine justices seated on the United States Supreme Court should sign on to an opinion overturning the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to kick Donald Trump off of its 2024 ballot on Wednesday, arguing that it was “too important not to speak as one” on this question.

The Centennial State jurists released an opinion on Tuesday taking Trump off its ballot on the grounds that the 14th Amendment disqualified him from holding the presidency again. On America Reports Wednesday afternoon, Turley listened to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold submit that Trump shouldn’t have a “get out of jail free card” on the issue of insurrection and strenuously objected to her premise.

“Well, it’s a curious argument because it’s not a get out of free card because there is laws governing insurrection and incitement. And notably, Trump was not charged with that,” noted Turley. “You had a very motivated special counsel in Jack Smith who hit Trump with anything he could. But he conspicuously left out incitement, insurrection, sedition because he couldn’t prove it, because the evidence is not there. So that only adds to the problems here.”

He continued:

But the real issue for the Supreme Court is far more fundamental and frankly chilling. You know, this country is the most successful and stable constitutional system in history. And now, after two centuries of that, what these four justices have done is to introduce a destabilizing element in that system. And it’s going to go to the Supreme Court, and this may be the ultimate challenge for Chief Justice Roberts. I don’t have much question they will overturn this decision, but they should do it unanimously. They should do it in one voice, all nine, and not divide on this. It’s too important not to speak as one.
