The U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Colorado's disqualification of Donald Trump from the ballot, and the timeline in that case makes one legal expert optimistic the former president might stand trial in a criminal prosecution before the November election.

The court overturned a ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court removing the former president under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause, and legal analyst Chuck Rosenberg told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he remains confident the high court will reject Trump's immunity claim in time to try him in the Jan. 6 case before ballots are cast.

'Astonishing and unprecedented': Conservative slams SCOTUS decision on Trump ballot

The Supreme Court's decision to restore former President Donald Trump to the ballot in Colorado and shut down any state decisions on Fourteenth Amendment disqualification was wrong, argued retired federal Judge Michael Luttig on CNN Monday.

Luttig, widely regarded as one of the founding intellectuals behind the modern-day conservative legal movement, has long been one of the strongest proponents of Colorado's decision, which had held that the Fourteenth Amendment's Insurrection Clause bars the former president from the ballot for his incitement of the January 6 attack.

Colorado official takes shot at Clarence and Ginni Thomas after Trump ballot ruling

Appearing on MSNBC just hours after the Supreme Court issued a unanimous 9-0 decision keeping Donald Trump on the ballot, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) stated she would accept the ruling — but had a few things to say about letting "insurrectionist" Trump run for office again.

Along the way, she bashed Congress for not doing its job and took some potshots at Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni — pointing out her part in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Speaking with host Katy Tur, Griswold told the host, "I would say it's good the court issued the decision. Americans have been voting all across the nation in early voting in those Super Tuesday states including here in Colorado, and Coloradans and Americans deserve to know whether Trump is a qualified candidate."

'Really vulnerable': CNN conservative links Trump's money woes to national security risk

Taking a break from discussing new evidence of Donald Trump's cognitive decline, conservative CNN contributor S.E. Cupp changed gears and told a panel that there is not enough attention being paid to how the former president's money problems make him a national security risk.

Speaking with host Kate Bolduan, Cupp made reference to Trump having to scramble to come up with more than half a billion dollars to pay for appeals bonds as he contests his most recent court losses. And, she said, that makes him "vulnerable" to foreign manipulation.

'It's gotten worse': Former Trump adviser admits his decline is accelerating

Reacting to speeches Donald Trump gave over the weekend where he repeatedly slurred his words, mistook President Joe Biden for former President Barack Obama and started sentences that trailed off into silence, Trump's former communications director admitted she has seen a precipitous decline since 2016 when he was first elected.

Speaking with CNN host John Berman on Monday morning, contributor Alyssa Farah Griffin stated Trump has always had problems recalling facts or people's names, but he seems to be in a downward spiral.

'Alyssa, you worked inside the White House, you saw Donald Trump firsthand when he was four years, albeit several years younger at least. How much does he miss or mix-up facts and the like?"

"I have said this before, he is not as sharp as he was in 2016 and not even as sharp as he was in 2020," she replied. "For some reason, that doesn't necessarily come across to voters the same way. But Donald Trump is not the strongest fighter that Republicans could have right now and it's remarkable how much voters don't see the age as also an issue because he is only three-and-a-half years younger than President Joe Biden, but there's something about the way they carry themselves that is just seen very differently."
