The unelected justices of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the people of Colorado cannot vote for former President Donald Trump on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election.
The decision, passed by a narrow margin, was led by four justices whose ruling has sparked a fierce debate about legal standards and democratic principles.
According to CBS News, “lawsuits challenging Trump’s candidacy have been filed in more than 25 states ahead of the 2024 election.”
The case in Colorado, instigated by a far-left organization, argued that Mr. Trump should be barred from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment over allegations of insurrection. Despite a lower court’s ruling that noted while Trump engaged in alleged “insurrection” by inciting the Capitol event, the Amendment does not apply to presidential candidates specifically; the Supreme Court’s majority saw things differently.
Democrat judge Sarah Wallace, who oversaw the lawsuit to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election ballot, rejected the challenge last month.
In her ruling, Wallace wrote:
“While the Court agrees that there are persuasive arguments on both sides, the Court holds that the absence of the President from the list of positions to which the Amendment applies combined with the fact that Section Three specifies that the disqualifying oath is one to “support” the Constitution whereas the Presidential oath is to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution, it appears to the Court that for whatever reason the drafters of Section Three did not intend to include a person who had only taken the Presidential Oath.”

I don’t like the taste of Nicki Haley being shoved down our throats by the Beltway Bureaucrats.
Texas says, arrest the invaders, and the Feds say the state can’t enforce Federal laws.
Colorado says, Trump off the ballot. Aren’t they trying to ‘enforce’ Federal laws (The Constitution)?
After watching this circus for several years, it’s hard to deny that the DS/dems are up to their same old tried & true game plan: PROJECTION.
As usual the DS/dems are accusing trump of exactly what they are guilty of: insurrection, seditious conspiracy & treason, imo
I will never vote for Nikki Haley..... she is Mitt Romney in a dress.
I also WILL NEVER hold my nose to vote again it is Trump or no one for me!!!
So when Texas excludes all DNC candidates who expressed or took part in an administration that allowed illegal immigration....
Texas will not do that because they are republican justices and unlike these four nitwits they understand the law
I will vote for DeSantis in the primaries but unlike you I will vote for Trump if he wins. I am for America not myself and I realize 4 more years of dimwit rule will mostly take America down another level, now step up to the plate and vote even if the Trumpster loses
Mmmm, sexy time.
I allege that the entire Democrat Party is guilty of insurrection.
Take all Democrats off of all ballots!
They’re just blackrobed clowns, who can only enforce their lawless clown “judgments” with gunthugs in magic blue or magic brown suits.
Yet courts are not disqualifying any of the Congresscritters from holding public office that failed to investigate the massive election fraud of the 2020 Big Steal.
Isn’t that curious?
It will go to SCOTUS and all of a sudden, the liberal justices will all of a sudden be pro states’ rights/
There is no law in BananAmerica - just partisan lawfare.
And the USA has the giant gal to castigate China and Russia !
Nicki Haley?
No chance. She is a bitter bitch with a sour taste.
SPIT HER OUT! “spit out,” a USAF dog fight term meaning out of the chase.
F them all.
The last time Democrats did this was when the Democrat Southern states removed Lincoln from the state ballots in the 1860 election. The Civil War started the next year.
