‘Slam-Dunk Victory For Trump!’ Legal Analyst on CNN Says Supreme Court Will Rule Trump Can Stay On Ballot

Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin made a rare prediction that former President Donald Trump’s ballot ban would be overturned by the Supreme Court in a “slam-dunk victory!”

The Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday morning in a case that will determine whether states can ban Trump from the ballot on the grounds that he violated the 14th Amendment by engaging in insurrection on January 6. It did not appear to go well for banning proponents.

On Friday morning’s edition of CNN This Morning, Toobin illustrated just how poorly it went for the Trump opposition by going against his instincts to predict a Trump win based only on the oral arguments:

PHIL MATTINGLY: Our great panel, having solved Poland’s history. Is back with us now. Jeff, I want to start with you. There seemed to be a fairly unanimous opinion outside of the court that the arguments did not go well for Colorado did go well for Trump. Do you believe that’s the case, and if so, why?

JEFFREY TOOBIN: 100% I agree with the case. In fact, I have rarely seen a contested case where the political breakdown did not was not reflected in the oral argument. This was close to unanimous. Justice Sotomayor I a little harder to read, but the other eight. Every argument that was put out in favor of the disqualifying the the Trump candidacy, you know, went nowhere.

You know, was he was was he covered by section three of the, of the 14th amendment? Did Colorado have the right to do this? Is the process that they followed correct?

All of those arguments seem to go in the direction of letting Trump stay on the ballot.

I, from painful experience. I don’t usually like to predict the outcome of Supreme Court cases based on oral argument. I’m going to make an exception and say this was a slam dunk victory in the offing for the Trump campaign!
