Good morning, everyone. I'm Playbook co-author Ryan Liza. It's March 5th, Super Tuesday.

Here's what's driving the day. Let's start with one intriguing takeaway from the Supreme

Court's ruling yesterday that states cannot use the 14th Amendment to exclude

Donald Trump from the ballot. Only Congress can. Well, there could be a ticking time bomb

lurking in that opinion. Josh Girste, Kyle Cheney, and Zach Montalero point to the following

scenario. Let's say Trump wins in November and Democrats control at least one branch

of government. What happens if on January 6th, 2025, some Democrats who believe that Trump is

ineligible to serve refuse to count Trump's electors by citing the 14th Amendment and the Supreme

Court's decision empowering Congress to enforce it.

That would amount to a reversal of what happened in January 6, 2021, with Democrats using a sort of fringe legal theory,

although one supported by this opinion, to try and prevent the victor in the presidential election

from taking office. Next up, Speaker Mike Johnson and fellow Republicans are taking a hot-button

national issue and a local tragedy in Georgia to the House floor later this week. The Rules Committee

meets later today to tee up the Lake and Riley Act named for the nursing student who was allegedly

slain by an undocumented immigrant last month. The bill, sponsored by Representative Mike Collins,

a Republican from Georgia, would expand federal powers to order the detention of migrants

accused of crimes and give states the ability to sue the federal government over immigration

harms.

Finally, to help us understand what to look for tonight when the Super Tuesday results roll in,

we're joined by senior political columnist and politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin.

All right, Jaymart, you've got a look this morning in your latest column, a sort of Uber insidery look about something
