Another stupid "lawfare" tactic by the well-funded far-left anti-constitutional, Marxist led Democratic Party,

Constitutionally invalid

Calling us a banana republic is a gross insult to Central America

I’m having liberals tell me that the charge is sufficient to keep him off the ballot. He doesn’t need to be found guilty.

These folks are obtuse and desperate they cannot see this will hurt the Democrats. Every time , they overreact and neglect looking at the big picture. Hubris makes them ignorant and blind.

If the SC rules that removing Trump from the ballot is unconstitutional, what would stop Colorado from doing it anyway?

The law means nothing to the lawless.

They care nothing for our Constitution, Nation or traditions, and just defaced the Lincoln Memorial. I’m beyond my breaking point. They are walking traitors and Insurectionists!

Supreme Court will fold on this if they review it. There’s already 4 votes to do it and Roberts will likely add the 5th vote.

The Colorado Supreme Court ridiculed itself. Their decision has ZERO chance to survive. It will be invalidataed by SCOTUS at the speed of light.

It’s indeed just a stunt.
They probably did this to make the SCOTUS look “pro-Trump”. Then they can shout : “You see, told you so! SCOTUS is pro-Trump, we must change the rules and makes SCOTUS democratic, lets ADD more justices!”. Etc.. etc.. the usual narrative in a pre-presidential campaign...

People need to read the opinion:

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/12/19/the-colorado-supreme-court-4-3-decision-is-pure-nonsense-and-can-be-laughed-at-they-even-admit-it-on-page-9/

From post (below actual verbiage from opinion):

“Wait, what?

Yes, that’s correct. As long as President Trump appeals the decision to the Supreme Court, the appeals court stays their own ruling – essentially indefinitely. The Colorado primary ballots printed, and the primary election will be over, before the Supreme Court puts this on their docket.

In addition to the virtual guarantee the high court will overrule this political nonsense, SCOTUS can make the entire issue moot before them by following their own normal schedule for submissions, arguments, deliberation and opinions delivered by the court.

The Colorado appellate court knows this, that’s why they put this self-stay into their 4-3 ruling. It’s a politically correct way of giving the optics of telling their tribe, ‘hey we’re with you,’ without the ramifications of the political backlash. In other words, psychological lawfare stuff – intended for media consumption.”

No politician could be on any ballot if it's based on an accusation. Obama was accused of not being born here.

The amendment doesn’t pertain to someone seeking the office of POTUS or VP. It’s clearly spelled out in the amendment. Why are you even discussing it with liberals? They clearly have no reading comprehension skills so it’s a lost cause.

The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling will (or at least should) be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court — and every reasonable Democrat knows that. But that does not matter to them. They will be happy that the Colorado ruling allowed them and their sycophantic pals in the mainstream media to publicly bash Trump for a few days, and they will be thrilled to have forced him to spend even more money on lawyers.

Looks to me like this is proof of lawfare being used by Democrats against Trump. It is not a large to leap to question the unprecedented lawsuits against Trump as being illegal use of the justice system.

“what would stop Colorado from doing it anyway?”

Nothing. But, what if we figure a way to reject Colorado’s electors? Based on bullshit?

Thanks for posting this.
They ruling pointless and makes a joke out of our legal system.

"any review by the U.S. Supreme Court, we stay our ruling until January 4, 2024 (the day before the Secretary’s deadline to certify the content of the presidential primary ballot). If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court"

The three judges Boatwright, demoralized and Birkencotter’s dissent should be the correct one.

“I’m having liberals tell me that the charge is sufficient to keep him off the ballot. He doesn’t need to be found guilty.”

Well... if liberals are telling you that... you can rest assured that the opposite is probably accurate. Leftists lie. And... they’re stupid. I find it reassuring.

If it ever gets to the point that they’re saying it’s already at, we ‘will’ have to fight that civil war to stay out of the gulags. But we’re not there yet.
