MSNBC's Andrew Weissmann: "Clearly Five Votes, If Not Nine" Against Colorado In Trump Ballot Access Case
Former federal prosecutor and MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann said that based on what he heard today during oral arguments at the Supreme Court over Colorado's attempt to block Donald Trump from the presidential ballot, he expects ANDREW WEISSMANN: My takeaway from this is if you are counting the votes, remember, Justice O'Connor famously said, "What's it like to be on the Supreme Court? It's about counting to five." Here there are clearly five votes, if not nine votes that are going to reverse this case. The point that you made about ambiguity was raised by various justices, meaning that if it's not clear, shouldn't that favor having somebody being allowed to run and thus our ability to vote for that person? There was a lot of concern about having a state have the power to interfere with a federal election. It's not a state interfering with a state election. Should they really be able to weigh in on this? And then there was an interesting sort of across different Justices -- Ketanji Brown Jackson, Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Thomas, who was very active in this oral argument -- talking about the history of this amendment, talking about how it really dealt with the Confederacy and the concern about Confederates burrowing in to former Confederate states and influencing federal elections. And so it would be anomalous, it would be ironic to suddenly say, oh, we should allow states to take this on. It’s a reason to have federal jurisdiction here, not state jurisdiction. My big takeaway is this is, I think, going to be a win for Donald Trump and a loss for Colorado.
