On today's 'BradCast':  The corrupt, stolen, and packed rightwing supermajority on the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday engineered a ruling that prevents states from using the plain language of the 14 Amendment, Section 3 to disqualify Donald Trump from the 2024 election for having 'engaged in insurrection.'  The dissenting liberal justices made clear that the 9-0 ruling that was actually a 5-4 ruling, in which the so-called GOP-appointed 'originalists' further cemented their well-earned reputation as an activist rightwing court inventing legal concepts to reverse engineer the political result they seek. Former U.S. Asst. Deputy Attorney General LISA GRAVES of True North Research and longtime legal journalist CHRIS GEIDNER of Law Dork explain the corrupt, hypocritical ruling by the rightwing justices, with context, history, and insight into what it all means. Also today: Nikki Haley won her first GOP primary after Trump threatened voters. On Tuesday, it's the Super Tuesday primaries -- if you live in one of those 16 states and territories, get out and vote!
