SCOTUS Delivers 9-0 Smackdown of Colorado's Attempt to Remove Trump
And other pawsitive news!
(Note for new subscribers: On Monday, I recap some of the positive stories/funny memes I’ve come across in the last week. Please add your own in the comments!)
Obviously, the best news of the day is the 9-0 ruling coming out of the Supreme Court that states may not kick Donald Trump off the ballot in this election cycle:
You can read the 20-page ruling here (complete with a ‘concurring dissent’ by Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson), but the gist of the decision is that states can’t use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to remove candidates for federal office:

Ironically, that tweet is also not an insurrection.
CNN had a pretty hilarious take on the case:
“Unfortunately for America, the court isn’t wrong.”
The framers wanted Congress to be the body handling these issues, which is exactly why Trump’s second impeachment trial happened in the first place. This lawsuit was the culmination of a years-long strategy, which started with that impeachment hearing, to convict Trump of “insurrection” — because that’s the magic word that keeps him off the ballot.
This gambit caused untold hardship — from non-violent January 6th prisoners to the January 6th sham committee to the refusal to release videos of the day. The snowball effects of this plan to keep Trump off the ballot have done way more damage to “our democracy” than anything Trump actually did in office.
And now that it’s failed, there’s nothing to do but throw a temper tantrum.
OK, enough of that. Let’s get to the good stuff!
The whole Trump/Colorado situation sort of reminds me of this, dunno why………
“Dad, how will I know if she’s the one?”
“You’ll know, son.”
You just have to find somebody who loves you as much as Lindsey Graham loves war.
OK, somebody that loves you HALF as much as Lindsey Graham loves war.

Spring!
When they’re training new staff at the massage parlor:
In addition to coming in to sleep at night, now Bonnie has been coming inside to nap during the day as well! This led to this pair of pictures of the partners in crime:
Lastly, this last video isn’t for everybody — if you don’t like baseball, skip it. But I know many of you DO like baseball, and for those of you……just click play.
That’s it for this week’s pawsitivity post! What made you happy this week, Screamers?

January 6th was no more an insurrection than the George Floyd Riots were "Mostly Peaceful Protests."
I think I have finally settled on my Substack’s title … well, not really because I have way too much fun commenting on the brilliance you all crank out… but how’s this “ The Biggest A Holes in the Media” … today we focus on Keith Olbermann…..😂😂😂😂
