A CNN panel burst into laughter on Thursday after anchor Jake Tapper cut off Donald Trump's rambling speech.

Following Supreme Court oral arguments in a Colorado ballot access case, Trump held a press conference outside his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Legal analysts anticipate that Colorado lost at the U.S. Supreme Court in the arguments for Trump v. Anderson on Thursday.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann pointed to the way that the questions were going and anticipated the ruling would be a "win" even if the court's Democrat-appointed judges affirmed Colorado's decision.

During an appearance on Fox News this Wednesday, Tulsi Gabbard said she'd be "open" to being Donald Trump's 2024 running mate.

"I'd be open to that conversation," Gabbard said on Fox & Friends. "My mission in life is to serve our country and serve the American people and find the best way to be able to do that."

Donald Trump's defense rests on the idea that the framers of the 14th Amendment "made an extraordinary mistake" by excluding presidents from the insurrection clause, according to the lawyer representing Colorado voters in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Denver attorney Jason Murray, who successfully petitioned Colorado's top court to disqualify Trump from the state's ballot, argued the case be fore the nation's Supreme Court, where he rejected the former president's arguments in his opening statement.

A Republican senator was sent scurrying away from his own news interview outside the Supreme Court Thursday when an anti-Donald Trump protester decided to explain, quite loudly, her understanding of the word “insurrection.”

The angry protester slapped back at Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) after he spoke out in support of Trump — whose eligibility to appear on presidential ballots was being argued before the nation's highest court — and tried to compare the riots on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to migrants who daily cross the southern border.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) offered "praise" for Tucker Carlson because she said he interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin "just to get the truth out" about the war on Ukraine.

"But what's happening with that war and the numbers that you're speaking of is a true, unbelievable tragedy on a massive proportion," Greene told right-wing podcast host Steve Bannon on Thursday. "And to think that our tax dollars were spent on basically just grinding down an entire generation of Ukrainian men, no wonder they don't want to serve."

Donald Trump's lawyers have hung their defense of his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection on a line from his speech at the "Stop the Steal" rally at the Ellipse, but a trio of legal experts say the broader record of his statements and actions undermines that argument.

The former claimed last month during a speech that his supporters had acted "peacefully and patriotically," echoing that key line from his speech that his attorneys have made a centerpiece of his defense since his post-Jan. 6 impeachment, but abundant evidence shows they did not and he didn't want them to, wrote legal experts Tom Joscelyn, Norman L. Eisen and Fred Wertheimer for Just Security.

Former President Donald Trump blamed people in Colorado who "really hate" him as the U.S. Supreme Court was hearing arguments on a case that could remove him from the state's ballot.

Trump spoke on Thursday before the nation's high court was set to hear oral arguments in a case that could see him disqualified from the ballot because he allegedly participated in an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.

Donald Trump's lawyer, Jonathan Mitchell, had a rough start to the arguments in Trump v. Anderson on Thursday before the U.S. Supreme Court, legal analysts noted.

Live-tweeting the proceeding, several attorneys couldn't help but notice that Mitchell was struggling.

Alina Habba's performance as Donald Trump's lawyer in his civil cases has been widely panned as incompetent by many legal experts. But according to Wil Saletan writing for The Bulwark, she seems to be very good at her "second job," which is raising money for Trump's political organizations, which she in turn funnels back to herself.

Saletan says that Habba throws herself into politics by repeating Trump's inflammatory buzzwords and claiming his legal setbacks will help him politically.

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday schooled an MSNBC panelist who tried to argue too much attention is being paid to the Supreme Court hearing on Donald Trump's court battle to appear on the 2024 general election ballots.

Writer Anand Giridharadas suggested voters pinning their hopes on Trump's eligibility being denied under 14th Amendment's insurrectionist ban would be better off focusing on campaign efforts outside the courtroom.
