Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Stricter Rules Post-COVID: New rules limit justices' questioning time in Supreme Court oral arguments, Trump's team argues for his right to hold office and states' power to appoint electors.
Supreme Court oral arguments are typically an hour-long session where each side presents their case, with the majority of the time spent on questioning from the justices. The arguments used to be more free-flowing, with justices jumping in with questions in no particular order. However, post-COVID, the questioning is now regimented with each justice having a set amount of time. Trump's arguments in the ongoing case include that he did not engage in an insurrection as defined by the 14th amendment, and that states have the power to appoint presidential electors as they see fit. The speaker expresses concern that a partisan decision could damage the court and the country.
Legal debate over Trump's disqualification from office: The courts' role is limited to preventing someone from holding office, not denying access to the ballot. The self-executing nature of Section 3 and lack of clear procedural guidance pose challenges in determining insurrection allegations.
The interpretation and application of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in denying a former president access to office based on insurrection allegations is a complex legal issue. The courts' role is limited to preventing someone from holding office, not denying access to the ballot. The self-executing nature of Section 3 and the procedural requirements for determining insurrection are key points of contention. The Colorado Supreme Court case highlighted the lack of clear procedural guidance in Section 3, and the need for legislation to adjudicate such matters. The burden of proof, standard of review, and discovery procedures are among the unanswered questions. While some argue that Congress could pass legislation to address these issues, others believe that the criminal justice system, with its established procedures, is the appropriate venue for determining insurrection allegations. Ultimately, the legal debate surrounding Trump's potential disqualification from office is far from settled.
Jefferson Davis and Supreme Court Case: Different Battles: The podcast discussed historical significance of Jefferson Davis and a Supreme Court case, as well as lighter topics like winning and investing, and the importance of supporting organizations like Pre Born that save lives.
While Jefferson Davis' actions during the Civil War and a Supreme Court case have some similarities, they are fundamentally different. Davis led the Confederacy in war against the United States for four years, while the Supreme Court case involves a debate over constitutional rights. The Court is expected to hear oral arguments on February 8th and make a decision quickly, possibly within days. Meanwhile, the podcast also touched on lighter topics, such as what people do when they win and how to invest in US oil and gas. When you win, you might be a fist pumper, woo hooer, hand clapper, or high-five enthusiast. For those interested in investing, US Oil and Gas could be a good option due to potential tax benefits and strong leadership with oil and gas experience. A more serious note was struck when discussing the importance of supporting organizations like Pre Born, which helps save babies from abortion. A baby's heart begins to form at conception, and by five weeks, its heartbeat can be heard on ultrasound. Pre Born's clinics rescue 200 babies from abortion every day, and a donation of just $28 can make a significant difference. In summary, the podcast covered a range of topics, from the historical significance of Jefferson Davis and Supreme Court cases to more lighthearted discussions about winning and investing, as well as the importance of supporting organizations that save lives.
Open southern border poses terror risk: Intelligence warns open border increases terror risk, allowing potential entry for undetected terrorists, compounded by high release rates and ease of entry for non-watchlist individuals, Hezbollah potentially taking advantage, administration's inaction concerning
The open southern border poses a significant risk of terrorist attacks, according to intelligence officials. Despite concerns and warnings, the border remains open, allowing potential terrorists to enter the country undetected. This risk is compounded by the fact that millions of people have crossed illegally under the current administration. The ease of entry for those not on the terrorist watchlist and the high release rate of apprehended individuals pose a threat to national security. Intelligence suggests that terrorist groups like Hezbollah could be taking advantage of this vulnerability. The administration's refusal to acknowledge this risk and address the issue is concerning. Investors should remember that past performance is not indicative of future results and consult their legal, tax, and financial advisers before making investment decisions.
National security risks at the border: The border crisis poses significant national security risks, with potential for dangerous individuals, including terrorists, among the large number of gotaways, yet the Biden administration continues to allow mass illegal crossings, disregarding warnings from officials and endangering American citizens.
The current border crisis goes beyond just immigration policy and poses significant national security risks. Officials from the National Counterterrorism Center and the State Department have warned about the potential for miscalculation and the presence of dangerous individuals, including terrorists, among the large number of gotaways - those who have evaded capture at the border. Despite these warnings, the Biden administration continues to allow mass illegal crossings, with over 2 million gotaways in the last 3 years. The speaker questions whether it's arrogance or disregard for history that prevents the administration from taking action to secure the border and protect American citizens from potential terror attacks. With the anniversary of 9/11, the memory of that tragic event may have faded for some, but the importance of securing the border against similar threats remains crucial.
Historical disconnect and political radicalization in the Democratic party: The thirties generation's disconnect from historical events and the media's focus on Trump have allowed radicalization in the Democratic party to go unchecked, emphasizing the importance of protecting unborn lives and investing in US oil and gas for national security and financial gains.
Many people in their thirties no longer have a personal emotional connection to significant historical events like 9/11, and this disconnect has allowed political radicalization to take hold, particularly within the Democratic party. The speaker argues that this radicalization has gone unchecked due to the media's focus on Trump and the party's belief that they will not be held accountable for their extreme policies at home. Additionally, the speaker emphasizes the importance of protecting the lives of unborn babies and encourages listeners to donate to Pre Born, an organization that saves 200 babies from abortion every day. Lastly, the speaker encourages accredited investors to consider investing in US oil and gas with Labrador Energy for potential tax benefits and sound returns, as American energy independence is crucial for national security and future prosperity.

In other news, the Supreme Court's stance on the Colorado case removing Trump from the presidential ballot has not changed. Despite the court's reluctance to get involved in the presidential election, they recognize their responsibility to resolve this significant constitutional issue. The odds are overwhelming that the Supreme Court will reverse the Colorado Supreme Court's decision, as allowing one major party's candidate to be removed from the ballot and denying voters the right to decide who the president is, is a threat to democracy.
Is January 6 an insurrection for 14th Amendment purposes?: The determination of whether January 6, 2021, events constitute an insurrection for 14th Amendment purposes is unclear, and proving Trump's involvement is challenging, requiring a conviction for insurrection.
The debate over whether the events of January 6, 2021, constitute an insurrection for the purpose of the 14th Amendment's disqualification from federal office is far from clear-cut. While some argue that it does, others disagree. The speaker, who has known Chief Justice John Roberts for 30 years, believes that Roberts will strive for a unanimous decision and may find the theory that an individual who engages in insurrection is ineligible for federal office persuasive. However, determining who engaged in an insurrection is not as straightforward as it was during the Civil War. The Civil War was undeniably an insurrection, and it was easy to determine if someone was a Confederate officer. In contrast, the events of January 6, 2021, are not as clear-cut, and no one has been able to prove that Trump engaged in insurrection. Therefore, the Department of Justice, which has urged Trump's ineligibility, would need to charge and convict him of insurrection to make the case.
Senator Ted Cruz discusses the importance of the American people making the decision on a president-elect: The eligibility of a president-elect should be determined by the American people, not by judges or partisan officials to prevent politicization and irreparable damage to the court.
The decision regarding the eligibility of a president-elect should be made by the American people, not by judges or partisan officials. During a discussion on the Verdict podcast, Senator Ted Cruz emphasized that such a decision should not be politicized and that the damage to the court if it becomes partisan would be historic and irreparable. Meanwhile, The Big Take DC, a podcast by Bloomberg News, focuses on how money, politics, and power shape government and its impact on voters. The hosts cover economic policy and the consequences it has on people across the United States. They believe that in 2016, many Americans felt misunderstood by Washington, leading them to lean towards Trump. The podcast aims to provide insight into these issues and help listeners understand the impact on their lives.
