Hot Takes: Delicious Media Meltdowns Commence After Supreme Court Ruling On Colorado Trump Case

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 on Monday that states could not ban candidates for federal office from their state's ballots under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, overturning a December ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court that barred former President Donald Trump from their presidential primary ballot. The case, which was argued by CREW "on behalf of the supposedly Republican and unaffiliated voters" who wanted Trump taken off the ballot, was brought on grounds that Trump had allegedly incited an "insurrection" on January 6, 2021, and therefore should be disqualified.

After weeks of speculating over how the Supreme Court would come down on this case, the mainstream media's reactions to the unanimous ruling, though predictable, have been inject-into-my-veins-type stuff: NBC's Ken Dilanian: "This is another example among many that are playing out right now of the Supreme Court playing a huge role in American elections, & it’s not necessarily the case that that’s a good thing for the Supreme Court. The approval levels of the court poll at historic lows ... It’s going to be seen by many people as the court essentially interfering in some sense in the election, & so this is all sort of playing out here in terms of how we assess the Supreme Court & its legacy."

CNN in particular is having a really rough day. The sour looks on the faces of anchors Jim Acosta and Dana Bash said it all: CNN's Jim Acosta bemoans the Supreme Court ruling Congress has the power to determine if a candidate is eligible to be on the ballot. "There are members of Congress who are never going to do anything to make life difficult for Donald Trump." -- Former CNN host Greta Van Susteren also had thoughts on other commentary provided by CNN: "CNN just called the Supreme Court the 'least transparent' - well, their hearings are ALL open to the public, they make decisions and PUBLISH ALL their reasons for their decision…. (‘opinions) so it is NOT fair to call them the ‘least transparent” - this CNN reporter does not understand."
