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.”

“allegations of insurrection”
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Trump has not been found guilty of insurrection. If that’s the case, then I would like to make an allegation that the four members of the Colorado Supreme court are using their position for personal gain.
Title 5 CFR § 2635.702:
(a) Inducement or coercion of benefits. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity.
They have allegedly broken the law. Here is a good site to get the understanding of the violation:

The Beltway is insisting on Haley as the Uniparty candidate for 2024. The propaganda outlets have already been given orders to promote her 24/7.
It definitely has a whiff of 2008 and 2012.
Is there a Colorado GOP representative with the intestinal fortitude to open impeachment proceedings? No, it wont go anywhere and is only political theater ... but anything would be an improvement over the current state of ... nothing.
“Allegations” have no weight in US jurisprudence. Their weasel word is also their legal undoing.
Kari Lake (cured prog) nails it.
.
“”Lake added, “The radical left think they can dictate the rights & freedoms that we are allowed to have. They don’t think we should be allowed to pick our leaders. That’s why you’re seeing this legal tyranny. They want to rule over hardworking, patriotic Americans like the tinpot dictators they are.””
.
I can completely support that.
Don’t omit the Secretary of State.
To my mind, disqualifying Trump because of being ‘charged’ should be the equivalent of disqualifying Biden because the House has opened up a formal impeachment inquiry. They have no other option than to disqualify Biden, then.
Silly rabbit.
Please excuse the levity but we are so far down the rabbit hole we will never see daylight again.
The game has changed. There were once rules of acceptable behavior and the pubbies played by the marquis of queensbury rules and still do. The deamncraps have left that and all other rules far behind. They have been playing without any rule but to win since dumbo said that within two weeks of his first election when he was asked about process and legal procedure. He said, “WE WON, you lost.” That said it all if you didn’t get the message. The victors write the history and the vanquished are well, crushed.
Go smoke another one. The deep states stooge is Desantis. The guy showed us why we shouldn’t vote for him already. You’ve failed to see that. Not too far from a dem I guess. You’re here so maybe there’s hope.
I won’t waste my day doing the research for you but I suggest you do it. It’ll show why he’s polling at 2%
So you’re saying there is hope for America? Now where’s my bore cleaner.
bttt
I have been holding my nose to vote for the last 50 years and just look at our nation, these people are the same damn evil Dem or Republican this nation did NOT get this way without the help of the republicans!! These stinking republicans did EVERYTHING to obstruct Trumps agenda when we had all 3 branches of government!! They fought him EVERY DAMN step of the way over the border wall, stabbed him in the back and upheld Obamacare knowing he promised to get rid of it, stabbed him in the back at EVERY turn!! NOPE I am DONE voting for these asshats!! DeSantis is OWNED by these establishment donors DeSantis will be another Bush, a puppet of the donor class! NO THANKS not a dimes worth of difference between them and a Dem!! I am DONE being a battered wife with these SCUM!!
More importantly than their names we need to know their height, weight, and neck circumference.
The Dems are going to start Civil War II! I think it is time that we should fight, since they are fighting...
write in candidate.
THAT will force a hand count.
It would only take a few to get their attention. People are tired of this.
President of United States of America can’t have a frivolous name Nikki. The owner of a local brothel though…
