The Supremes agreed to hear argument in three pending cases, true enough.

But… the Court declined to take any steps at all, to stay the lower courts’ unanimous decisions. There’s a very solid sense in which, if Tangerine had even a colorable argument, they might have “given him a chance” — while the litigation progressed — to try his policies out.

They did no such thing, and that is entirely unsurprising. There is NO colorable argument here, against the plain language embedded in the Fourteenth Amendment — and cases, stretching back 150 years.

He will never have the votes for a new Constitutional Amendment. Game over. What a waste of time, and taxpayer money.
