BREAKING: Colorado Supreme Court BARS Trump from ballot? Don’t fall for the Psy-Op.
And another thing, send about 100,000 illegals there in ten days as that will get their attention too.
Republicans are cowards, they’ll never do that.
Let’s see if all the candidates who swear that they are going to defend the country will try and use this foe their campaigns or they defend the country. I knoe of only 1 may 2 people who will try and defend the Republic herem
There is no right to vote for President, since there are no Presidential elections in the Constitution.
Trump needs to 2win and take billions of dollars away from Colorado. Colorado takes in 1/3 of its revenue from defense and federal spending. It should lose all of it.
And her beliefs are relevant HOW?
We’ll have a gay, old time.
The 14th amendment forbids certain stipulated persons from HOLDING office. It does NOT describe prohibiting anyone from RUNNING for office.
So many leftist lawyers and law professors are incapable of reading simple English words.
DJT has about ten good arguments to overturn this, first and foremost that he has not “engaged in insurrection or rebellion”, he has not even been credibly accused of “insurrection or rebellion”. Four nitwit Democrats are acting as judge, jury and (ballot) executioner here, that’s not how it works in America.
If you want to find a major candidate who ACTUALLY engaged in insurrection and rebellion then look no further than Hanoi John Botox Kerry.
“We are also cognizant that we travel in uncharted territory, and that this case presents several issues of first impression. But for our resolution of the Electors’ challenge under the Election Code, the Secretary would be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot.
Therefore, to maintain the status quo pending 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.”
Why run for an office you would be unable to hold?
This “ruling” is ELECTION THEFT.
Really?
Article II
Section 1. The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows:
Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.
The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. And they shall make a list of all the persons voted for, and of the number of votes for each; which list they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by ballot one of them for President; and if no person have a majority, then from the five highest on the list the said House shall in like manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each state having one vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. In every case, after the choice of the President, the person having the greatest number of votes of the electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal votes, the Senate shall choose from them by ballot the Vice President.
The Congress may determine the time of choosing the electors, and the day on which they shall give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States.
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.
The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them.
Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Why is a “reason” for seeking office a prerequisite for doing so?
What is the other three? You list six.
Um,what?
“Colorado Supreme Court kicks Trump off the state’s 2024 ballot for violating the U.S. Constitution”
—————-
Trump has NEVER been convicted of ANYTHING, let alone engaging in an insurrection that MIGHT have a 14th Amendment implication.
These bozos are WAY off base on a number of grounds, and will be overturned very quickly.
Democrats hate democracy.
