    McConnell, Senate Republicans sign brief supporting Trump effort to
    stay on ballot

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and other Senate
    Republicans have signed on to a brief supporting former President
    Trump in his Colorado ballot case at the Supreme Court.

    The brief argues that the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court last
    month to kick the former president off the ballot under Section 3 of
    the 14th Amendment "tramples the prerogatives of members of Congress."

    The brief was filed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and House Majority
    Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) on Thursday, and 177 other members of
    Congress signed on alongside the two Southern lawmakers. McConnell and
    Trump have frequently battled, but McConnell joined more than 40 other
    Senate Republicans in arguing his name should not be taken off the
    ballot.

    "tramples the prerogatives of members of Congress."

    How about you all, the so called 'law an order' party, trample on US Constitution...

    "tramples the prerogatives of members of Congress."

    They're a bunch of DOUCHEBAGS.

    New parties now. The ones we have are fully owned by corporate and
    political (same thing, these days) interests. The famed two-party
    system has run its course ... straight into a crater.
