One can only hope that the malignant cancer on the body politic of the US, on the future of Democracy around the world is ruled out by what is supposedly a ruling coming down tommorrow. Then again, how many times do the corrupt, GOP purchased and maintained justices have to rule against women, the environment, freedom, and the rights of individuals to live before I accept that the problem is the fearful, feckless, cowardly people of the US that just don’t vote. So we end up with judges like this at all levels of the country. Who knows anymore?

Supreme Court Poised to Rule on Monday on Trump’s Eligibility to Hold Office
An unusual announcement from the court provided a strong hint that the justices will act the day before the primaries on Super Tuesday.
Here’s some more from the NYTimes article. Author seems to believe SCOTUS will rule in Trump’s favor, and against the state. Funny how that works. The optimistic, if not delirious, last sentence makes my blood boil.
The justices took 16 days after Mr. Trump’s emergency application regarding immunity to schedule arguments for seven weeks later, in the week of April 22. The court kept the trial, which had once been scheduled for March 4, on hold in the meantime.
If the court issues its decision in the Colorado case on Monday, it will have acted within a month of hearing arguments. If it follows that pace on the immunity case, a decision could land in late May. And if Mr. Trump loses, pretrial proceedings would resume and the trial itself might start, barring other hurdles, in late September.
