Politico reported:
The Colorado Republican Party asked the Supreme Court to reinstate Donald Trump on the primary ballot — officially dragging the nation’s top court into the fight over whether the former president can be legally barred from office.
The state Republican committee asked the court late Wednesday to overturn the ruling issued by the Colorado Supreme Court earlier this month, when it struck Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot. The court ruled that Trump engaged in an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, disqualifying him from the presidency under an interpretation of the 14th Amendment — but paused its ruling until the Supreme Court could weigh in.
The state GOP’s petition argues three points: The office of the presidency is not covered by the 14th Amendment, the insurrection clause is not “self-executing” — meaning Congress alone must enforce it, and states cannot make that determination on their own — and that by kicking Trump off the primary ballot, the state Republican Party’s First Amendment rights of association have been violated.

to be fair, 4 Republicans and 2 Independents filed the suit to get Trump tossed.
Doing this to Trump is the Template for choosing to start a Civil War.
They will all do this and any other escalated legal maneuver that they can think of in order to disallow Trump from the ballot box.
Just as their Forefathers did to Lincoln and then started the Civil War when Lincoln eventually won the election.
This is what you do when you have nothing left to respect as a Government.
When Trump wins, and like Lincoln he will, they will move from resistance into Armed Revolution and renew their burning and killing of America.
This is exactly where they are taking us.
Oh- yes, understand now. But—As in, retry the case from scratch at SCOTUS? Who would be plaintiff, who defendant? Setting aside the existing procedural history? Interesting.
Nope. A Petition for Writ of Certiorari may be sought in SCOTUS from the decision of the highest court of a state on a constitutional issue. This is a state court action. The federal Circuit Court of Appeal never has, and never will, have jurisdiction over this case. SCOTUS will strike this down and I’d bet $100 that Roberts will round up 9 votes for a relatively narrow decision. It’s to important; chaos will reign in elections if the SCOC decision stands
Thank you, Political Junkie Too.
Whichever way SCOTUS rules, this weakens them.
YES. BLM and ANTIFA went unpunished. The SAME TRAITORS then, in the FBI and DOJ, are still there, and if anything, are EMBOLDENED!
President Trump will have to ACTIVATE multiple levers of government upon his election, to quell rioting and unrest, and he will damn well have to use them to keep order.
The left hasn’t an iota of correct understanding of what is boiling over out in the ‘countryside’. Payback is a b!tch!
This is ALL on the nonqualified NBC >>> OBAMA!
It’s always been Obama.
He wants to be the American Lenin.
