Godfather remake in the Supreme Court

 I think we are about to see  a remake of a scene from the Godfather , where Frank Pentangele's brother comes from Sicily to Washington DC where Frank is about to give testimony in front of Congress that will incriminate Michale Corleone.  Pentangele's brother says nothing - only needs to show his face to have a Huge impact on the case - and then Frank says that he made up all the evidence about Michael Corleone. 

The former POTUS is going to show up at the Supreme court where they are hearing an appeal by him about the Colorado court using the 14th amendment to take him off the primary ballot. The appeal lists  many many reasons for the appeal - and sites that the Colorado court does not have the authority to remove him - only the US Supreme court does.  It seems that this is the so called "Kitchen sink" approach - throw everything at the wall (including the Kitchen sink) and see what sticks.....He does not need to attend.  I think he plans to attend so that he can look the Justices that he believes he has in his pocket  - Barrett, Thomas , Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito, and by that look remind them who it was that paid for them...   Now there are many reasons listed in the appeal - so that these justices can overturn the Colorado decision   without ever getting near the decision of IF Dump is an insurrectionist. 

I think it is pretty clear at this point that the Courts and not necessarily the Supreme court will do far more in the determination of the GOP Presidential candidate than any primary or convention.  We may well have a person convicted of a Federal  felony as the nominee from the Republican party. Imagine that ... a Convicted FELON on the ballot for president.   Its possible that if/when he is convicted - some or many people that say they are voting for him - simply will not - they might not vote for Biden - but they go into the voting booth or fill out a ballot  and not enter a vote for president.
