Will there be more challenges?

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned down a case that challenged former President Donald Trump's eligibility to run for the White House in 2024.

The case was brought by John Anthony Castro, a tax consultant and long-shot candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, who argued that Trump should be disqualified from running under the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment due to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, riot on the U.S. Capitol. Castro cited a provision in the Civil War-era amendment that states American officials can't hold office if they "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" or had "given aid" to insurrectionists.....

Castro had requested the high court hear his appeal after a lower court in June found his case lacked legal standing, but the Supreme Court justices announced the case was denied without any comment or recorded vote"

I'm not all that surprised by this. I think the courts can be expected to play it as close to the vest as possible when it comes to any cases involving Trump.

I used to be a Republican, even though they kept voting wrong on far too many issues. I would lie to myself and say "the next one won't be so bad", "the next one will be better".

I welcome that. I am a die hard socialist, but I am not American, if you lived under an oppressive class system ruled by an aristocratic elite, the whole system represented by an unelected monarch. As I do. You might be a socialist too. That's why I admire the USA, I aspire the same thing for my nation, the so called united kingdom. A constitution, a republic, an elected head of state. Not the elective dictatorship we have. Long live the United States. Yes you're heavily invested in free market capitalism, but when it comes to your democratic institutions and constitutional system, I envy it. I want the same system or a similar one, to replace ours. ASAP.
