CO keeping Trump off the ballot was always a long shot, and listening to this now, it seems dead. The lawyer isn't making a very good argument, and the Justices are shooting him down every time.

The Justices are saying, "Other states will do this to other candidates they don't like in the future, right?" The lawyer is basically saying, "But you can say this is, like, super rare, and so it won't happen all that often in the future."

Obama didn't push back because there wasn't really anything he could do to push back, and he probably figured that making a big deal about it would just motivate GOP voters even harder.

If Obama really wanted to get that appointment in before Jan 20, he was poo poo outta luck, because there isn't really anything he could have done about it except "complaining more" or "sparking a constitutional crisis".

Yeah, I remember the exact moment Scalia died, because I realized everything was hosed. Even Republicans who didn't like Trump would vote for him to keep "Scalia's seat". And McConnell knew it, too, so there was no way he was going to allow a Garland vote, because why would he? It was the ultimate motivator.
