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.”

The destruction of the election system is complete.
Americans have become lazy. We ALL need to stop and take time to check out all those who are running for local offices in our own communities.. I'm guilty of abstaining on probably half of the choices at the ballet box simply because a don't know who or WHAT those people may be. So, that means I'm giving my vote to someone else.!
Not knowing who those people are running for the school board, County Commissioner, Auditor, local Judges and all such is a big mistake. We all need to be far more vigilant in our own hometown....
People of Colorado need to initiate impeachment of those judges immediately.
” As usual the DS/dems are accusing trump of exactly what they are guilty of: insurrection, seditious conspiracy & treason, imo. “

Nothing wrong with your opinion, imo. I would even call it War. Democrats have effectively proven to be more successful than a foreign invader. Worse tha foreign enemy. Our i Domestic Enemy is invading our country with foreign enemies.
At this crater-point for a hollowed out America, we’ve seen the last of our country as we knew her.
It looked like it was an easy victory, too, one met with no resistance— even forfeited. Caring was nice, but hardly enough and too few. No idea what Trump has left to work with as a president.

Trump referred to it early on as “the invisible enemy”
Good call.
Trump hasn’t been “charged” with insurrection, so this is all baseless.
Not to even mention the overwhelming political stink of it.
Correct!
So it seems they want a civil war. That would be chaos and more difficult for them to control ?
Surprised you could decipher my unedited reply, bumping along on a road trip. 🙂
Meanwhile, I just viewed a curiouly sourced documentary on Soraya, the second of three brides to the Shaw of Iran, deposed, (circa Jimmy Carter presidency).
The story remembers the fall of IRAN from it’s high performing education, freedom of women, great production and associations with nations, all lost to extreme tyranny. It was meant with sadness in the West.
Now it seems not unreasonable to imagine at all that the West, and beyond, are now falling in like manner, but without a live shot being fired.
Very sad, the exchange made, by a largely hidden ideological leadership presiding in the USA over the decades, ruling the world unfairly, leading up to forfeiting our own peace and freedom. The enemies we’ve made in the world at the hands of the US war industry, the color revolutions, strong-arming governments, riots and coups, may take a generation to hope for repair. Kennedy suffered under that Deep State machine.
I owe Biden for an education.
He has exposed the justifiable loathing of America that I never understood, whenever it rose up, here and there. I mostly never knew the US role in shaping others to our advantage always necessarily at the expense of lesser countries, and it is not a pretty history. We are in danger as now we have finally actually impoverished our every Western ally trying to topple Putin.
WTH were Americans taught that we would never pay a price for such belligerence?
Unless there is proof differently, the Minsk Agreements were a tragic betrayal, as Merkel openly admitted once she was out of power. Putin is now executing those Agreements to the letter and is rather convincing in his justifications.
Of course it’s out of the question that Americans ever hear the pont of view of any targeted nation that is not scrubbed by the war complex. 🤨
Yes, I know.
