Joe Concha: After 9-0, Even the Usual Suspects in This Business Were Not Be Able to Say This Is About the Extreme MAGA Supreme Court

EXCERPT:

CONCHA: "Well, when this decision came back, Ainsley, and it comes back 9-0, it’s a grand slam, it’s a slam dunk. There is no ambiguity. The first thought that I had was, well, even the usual suspects in this business won’t be able to say, well, this is about the extreme MAGA Supreme Court that’s just there to save Donald Trump because, obviously, we had Kagan and Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown also join the conservative members on the bench in agreeing that Donald Trump should be on the ballot, and instead we got the 2024 version of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.' You just played all those socks there — those are soundbites, of course — and no matter how this was going to come back, that was going to be the reaction. We saw, for example, George Conway, who's like the Michael Avenatti of legal analysts over on CNN, calling the Supreme Court fundamentally incoherent and a shoddy legal work in terms of their conclusion. You had ABC News’ Jonathan Karl somehow coming away with this takeaway: Despite win, Supreme Court strikes blow to Trump’s central campaign theme. Trump’s central campaign theme is that his opponents are trying to take him out in the courtroom instead of at the ballot box. That’s the whole crux to this argument. Should voters decide whether Donald Trump is president or not, or should some partisan judges or partisan secretaries of state do that? I think leaving it in the hands of the people is something that many would agree with, even Democrats who are sane and sober who just want this thing decided by the people."
