Colorado hands Trump a political gift by barring him from the ballot
NBC News ^ | December 20, 2023 | Jonathan Allen, Katherine Doyle and Dasha Burns

The Colorado Supreme Court's decision to bar Donald Trump from the state's ballot will help the former president in his quest to win next year's Republican nomination, political insiders in both parties say.

Some Democrats fear it could boost him next November, too.

Republican elected officials raced to rally around Trump in the hours after the ruling was released Tuesday — even those not backing him for president in 2024. Sen Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who has not endorsed Trump, wrote a bill aimed at preventing states from blocking presidential candidates from their ballots.

Yes, it is simply more evidence of insane, woke, leftist apparatchiks having an anti-Trump tantrum - and using government/institutional power to act out.

Leftists who support it are already motivated, so there is no gain there

Meanwhile, many Americans in the middle simply see banana republic politics.

Those Colorado judges need to have a microscope on them. Think James O’Keefe would be interested?

This court decision may end up becoming another Exploding Cigar moment for Dem activist judges,

Move to take Biden off the ballot in All States. Due to him be merely ACCUSED of taking bribes...

A person doesn’t need to actually go to court or be convicted.. there mere Accusation is now sufficient..

Those are the new rules, right?

Great post.

The more they go after Trump the more they expose themselves as the deranged and dangerous radicals they are.

Would not be surprised if they are on the Soros payroll. Soros and the Left have spent huge sums to conrtol state attorney general and prosecutors office. They no doubt want to control the judiciary by any means necessary. They need to control the criminal justice system to achieve their goal of destroying the american nation. O’Keeke or some patriotic Americans of means would do the nation a great sevice if there was a comprehensive forensic investigation of these judges.

Proof a lawyer can know nothing about the law. These judges cited things not in evidence, laws that do not exist, and concluded things not even their peers would support.

These “judges” acted as political activists and not judges.

Colorado has gone communist. I feel sorry for all the good people in that state who want nothing to do with sueing bakers and picking who you can and can’t vote for.
