I hesitate to make predictions because every time I think I've sussed the parameters of exactly how fucked up this country is now something happens to make me throw my hands up and adjust the markers outward again.

But if there's any sanity left at all this is what ought to happen:

The supreme court will agree to hear and expedite the case due to the serious and time-sensitive nature of the issue. It won't/shouldn't take them long to identify and highlight the Colorado decision's fatal flaws after which they will officially reverse the finding and clear the way for Don to participate fully in the Colorado primary.

Trump will be more popular and unbeatable than ever, democrats and their apologists will blame it on the "conservative court" and make a lot of noise about ways to "balance" the SC that have nothing to do with fixing anything but only packing the bench with more people "from their team", and independents will become even more disgusted with the whole Red/vs/Blue shitshow giving RFKJr and other non-duopoly candidates another polling bump.

Other states who are attempting or are considering their own Colorado-like shenanigans will likely drop those plans after a brief period of grasping for a different angle than the one that was just shot down.

Before long the whole litigating Donny off the ballot thing will fade into the background as other concerns take center stage again- those most likely being the continuing Palestine/Israel conflict (including escalating participation by other nations in the region), the increasingly obvious failure of the proxy war in Ukraine, and whatever China decides to do in response to the USA's provocations e.g. military entanglements with Taiwan.


Of course any or all of that could turn out to be absolute nonsense. The whole planet has lost what little mind it had left and almost nothing surprises me anymore.

I would say this is the most likely outcome as well. But, I agree that the supply of sanity is dangerously low.

I'm not saying that can't happen but it really shouldn't.
The Colorado judgement basically convicted Donny of sedition/insurrection/whatever without a trial in order to reach the decision it did

That is a good point. They didn't just make a decision, they pronounced him guilty without a trial.

That's pretty much what the dissenting judges said too -- among many other scathing remarks against their peers

If it does get to the Supreme Court, and I am pretty certain it will, it should be an open and shut case.

Thomas, Coney-Barret, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and either Alito or Roberts will vote to reverse the dumb decison in Colorado and that is enough to keep Trump on the ballot in all fifty states.
