| ‘Complete Chaos': Andy McCarthy Issues Ominous Warning On Trump's SCOTUS Case |
| 2024-01-05 |
| [Daily Caller] Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy McCarthy issued an ominous warning about former President Donald Trump’s case in Colorado and Maine. McCarthy warned the U.S. will turn into "complete chaos" ahead of the 2024 presidential election if the U.S. Supreme Court fails to deliberate on the cases in Colorado and Maine. The two states ruled to remove Trump from the primary ballot citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states no individual should hold office if they "have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." "Well, I think they have to take the case, Martha [MacCallum] and I say that understanding that they are very reluctant to wade into the politics of the 2024 election. But you will truly have chaos, and maybe two layers of chaos, if this case isn’t grappled with soon by the one court that can sort of put an end to all the questions," McCarthy said during a Thursday segment on Fox News. McCarthy said the Supreme Court needs to settle “two layers” of the issue to answer whether Trump can be removed from the ballot in the primary and general elections.

Multiply that by two if it really is going to be two layers and then you have fifty states making ad-hoc rules about which procedures have to be applied before someone can be found guilty or this disqualification can attach to them under the 14th Amendment. You are gonna have true chaos in the run-up to the election,” McCarthy warned. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision to disqualify Trump from the state primary ballot in a Dec. 19 decision. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows soon followed suit in a Dec. 28 decision, citing the 14th Amendment. |

| #3 ^ That's exactly why SCROTUS is so desperate to dodge involvement in the matter. The abuses are coming in any event, and they don't want any of that stinky effluvium splashing up on their purty robes. |

| #2 OK lets flip the issue from TRUMP. Say the US Supreme Courts rules states can disenfranchise voters by refusing to allow their candidates. Look at all the abuses likely to happen. |

| #1 Not difficult to understand when you realize 'Complete Chaos', a setting aside of the Constitution, and the establishment of martial law are actually the intended outcomes. "As seen from the outside, the massive upheaval in Western society is approaching the limit beyond which it will become 'meta-stable' and must collapse." ~ SOLZHENITSYN |
