Summary
Monday morning, the Supreme Court handed down a decision on a simmering case – answering a key question once and for all: Can a state, citing the U.S. Constitution, keep a presidential candidate off a state's ballot?
The Supremes said, "No!", deciding AGAINST Colorado in a unanimous decision – reversing the Colorado's Supreme Court decision that argued the 14th amendment empowered the state to keep former Pres. Donald Trump off the state's ballot.
0:00: The big headline out of the Supreme Court.
4:00: Clearing our palate for more political news: Will "Wendy's" use surge pricing? (BTW – Wendy's backtracked on this a few days later ... LINK).
8:00: Why Super Tuesday matters.
10:00: The State of the Union (on Thursday).
16:00: We dig deep into the Supreme Court ruling: The decision. The perspectives. And what to watch for next.
18:00: What is the 14th Amendment? The backstory from Colorado.
24:00: Why did Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson AGREE with the decision BUT offer a critique.
29:00: What Justice Barrett says on the issue: "All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case. That is the message Americans should take home."
37:00: What matters most for the American voters – the past or the future?

| 0:00.0 | All right, guys. |
| 0:01.5 | Let's do it. |
| 0:03.5 | Welcome to Scoop, where you get the scoop on this week's news. |
| 0:06.9 | My name is Jenna, and this is Smarter News. |
| 0:19.5 | Well, we have an exciting day today. We had breaking news this morning from the Supreme Court |
| 0:25.0 | on a really important case that could impact not only the 2024 elections, but really impact |
| 0:30.8 | presidential elections for years to come. It's a precedent-setting decision about whether or not |
| 0:37.0 | states citing the Constitution a specific part, the 14th Amendment, Section 3, can keep a candidate off the ballot, specifically a candidate for president, a federal position. |
| 0:51.1 | This is important in the case. |
| 0:53.2 | And so today this morning, we learned from the Supreme |

| 1:21.6 | citing the U.S. Constitution. Cannot happen. By the way, a unanimous decision. I know you hear a lot about |
| 1:29.7 | the Supreme Court. You know, who's conservative, who's liberal, who are they siding with? What sort of |
| 1:34.8 | political agendas do they have? It is rare. In many cases, we didn't, we didn't tally it up. |
| 1:39.9 | This would be something that would be really interesting to look into over the history of the court. |
| 1:43.4 | How many unanimous decisions have we had? |
| 1:45.5 | And this is different because the Supreme Court was weighing in on a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court. |
| 1:52.1 | And this is a unique way where the Supreme Court says, hey, wait a minute, Colorado. |
