DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday declared former President Donald Trump ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause and removed him from the state’s presidential primary ballot, setting up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to decide whether the front-runner for the GOP nomination can remain in the race.

Colorado is a threat to our nation

They said the same thing about south Carolina 160 years ago.

so when will biden send in the federal troops to kill every Colorado kook? burn Denver to the groundand blow up all the bridges and railroads?

[cowboyusa]

Arrest the colorodo SC insurectionists!

[SaveFerris]

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

[desertsolitaire]

And yet I keep thinking of how and why the USSC stepped in to the Florida recount debacle in 2000.

[MrRelevant]

Yes but you cant make shit up because you dont like him. He needs to be convicted of the crime , if thats your rational for banning him lol

[Scarlett156]

That totally figures. This place sucks. I mean, the mountains, trees, streams, wildlife, etc, are great. But I will gladly give them up for FREEDOM.

[DownInFlames]

What trial? Trumps civil rights have been violated with no due process.

[Vermont Lt]

I am not arguing that. The original comment I was responding to wrote as if there were a national election. A lot of people think that.

[cowboyusa]

Conservatives should leave the State, and turn ME, VT and NH red again.

[God luvs America]

This is the worst take on it- it doesn’t matter so let them get away with it....Texas must start proceedings to ban Biden/Harris from state ballot for their malfeasance on the border.

[wny]

I must have missed the conviction….

[MinorityRepublican]

He’s never been charged with insurrection.

I'll understand if he was convicted. But so far, he's innocent. So the SCOTUS will have to get involved.

[NorthMountain]

Of all the screaming insanities I have seen over the past handful of years, this is the crowning madness.

Except that it probably isn’t; it will get even worse.

[Recovering_Democrat]

It’ll be overturned by SCOTUS.

[Mouton]

14th amendment issue gets it there.

[kiryandil]

Oh, look - wild74, the NeverTrump chump-idiot, is calling other freepers “idiot”...

[cowboyusa]

I have been saying that we are in civil war. Now i5 just went lukewarm.

[cowboyusa]

Yes CO is acting like SC did.

[NorthMountain]

plenty of retards right here on FR will agree with them

Name one.

Not "plenty". One.

One will do.
