Former President Donald Trump expressed confidence that the Supreme Court justices he appointed, along with others, would rule in his favor regarding his immunity and ballot eligibility.
The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on February 8, 2024, regarding Trump’s appeal after being banned from Colorado’s 2024 ballot.
The case revolves around the 14th Amendment’s provision regarding “engaged in insurrection.”
Trump has condemned the 14th Amendment litigation as an abuse of the judicial process and denies any wrongdoing about January 6.
“We put on three great justices, and you have some other great justices up there, and they’re not going to take the vote away from the people. I’m sure the Supreme Court is going to say, ‘We’re not going to take the vote away from the people,’” Trump said, noting that Biden is the “threat to democracy.”
“But I don’t think the Supreme Court would do it because you can’t take the vote. You know, I’m leading in every poll. I’m leading Biden, but I’m leading the remaining Republicans … they’re barely hanging on. How can you possibly take the vote away?” he said.
“They have another important [case] and that’s immunity for the president, the president of the United States. And I’m not talking about myself. I’m talking about any president has to have immunity, because if you take immunity away from the president, so important, you will have – you have a president that’s not going to be able to do anything, because when he leaves office, the opposing party president, if it’s the opposing party, will indict the president for doing something that should have been good,” he added.
Additionally, a Wyoming district court dismissed a lawsuit aiming to remove Trump and Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis from election ballots, leading to celebrations from Wyoming Republican Secretary of State Chuck Gray.
“I am extremely pleased with Judge Westby’s decision to dismiss Mr. Newcomb’s outrageously wrong and repugnant lawsuit to remove Donald Trump and Cynthia Lummis from the ballot in Wyoming,” Gray stated.
“I have been working to make sure that Donald Trump will be able to be on the ballot, and I am happy our motion to dismiss this lawsuit was granted. I will continue to fight against this nationwide effort to protect the integrity of our elections and ensure that the people of Wyoming can choose who to elect for themselves,” he added.
“Mr. Newcomb’s screed reflects the ravings of a radical left-wing madman,” Gray said. “It’s another example of the tactics of lunatics of the radical Left with their outrageously wrong attempts at election interference.”
