It’s funny that the Democrats think that this is the best way to defeat Trump. All it does is make him more popular. On Twitter, the Left is cheering, as though this wasn’t an assault on our Democracy. Oh, history will not be kind.

From the Daily Caller:

Former President Donald Trump has been disqualified from the Colorado ballot for the 2024 election over the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist” ban.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision Trump violated the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban” and is ineligible to be on the ballot in the state. The ruling is on hold pending an appeal to the Supreme Court until Jan. 4, CNN reported. The issue must be settled by Jan. 5, which is when the statutory deadline is to set the list of candidates for the Republican primary, according to CNN.

The state’s supreme court ruling found Colorado courts do not need an act of Congress to remove Trump from the ballot and the Jan. 6 riot amounted to an insurrection that Trump allegedly “engaged” in.

Chief Justice Brian Boatright, who dissented, argued Colorado’s election law “was not enacted to decide whether a candidate engaged in insurrection,” according to CNN.

“In the absence of an insurrection-related conviction, I would hold that a request to disqualify a candidate under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment is not a proper cause of action under Colorado’s election code.”

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung slammed the ruling as “un-American.”


It is not only un-American, it is literally the elimination of democracy for the benefit of the CIA, NSA, and the corporations which run them and benefit from their treason and subversion.

I hope to be in the front row with a big bag of popcorn when the deep state criminals are hanged for their crimes.

Right. But I don't see how is it beneficial for them. It's actually the opposite: gives no real electoral advantage to donkeys while giving the GOP something to rally around.

8d chess? Maybe, but these schemes rarely work out as planned.

He didn't need CO anyway. Still could get it as a write in, long shot though.


It amazes me how fucking stupid people can be.

This isn't about whether he needed Colorado or not.

This is about whether someone's rights can be taken away w/o due process.

Unbelievable

Nope. You don't understand this. That's okay. Not everyone will. You'll learn. I ain't teaching anyone tonight.

I proposed direct democracy to my girlfriend once, and she was horrified at the idea of letting the hoi polloi directly vote on laws that she would be subject to.

Well, that is why the Founding Fathers set up a Republic and not a democracy.


Maybe? Why maybe?


Where do you see the word "maybe?"


That must have been a glitch in the site. I don't remember asking that. I bet it was me trying to comment on Patrick's comment at 51.

Doubtful that GOP will go into the breach like the DEMs. They don't really have a lock at the state level like DEMs do - where in many states DEMs are super majority AND control the state supreme court. Sure -GOP control more state legislatures, but are weak in the courts.

And just like that — snap ! — the news about the Colorado Supreme Court’s droll action against candidate DJ Trump vanished from the front page (or top screens) of The New York Times. Do you know why? I’ll tell you: Because the political Left has finally managed to embarrass itself with a “lawfare” gambit so nakedly fatuous that it exposes the faction’s drive to destroy the election process, and with it our country.

This is what you get from a regime that faked its way to power and now must strain to cover up its long train of crimes, abuses, and effronteries to common sense, while running out of tricks to keep fooling even its own deranged followers. Somehow, the act of kicking a leading candidate off the ballot has finally registered as inconsistent with “defending our democracy.”

Of course, the reckless abuse of law — “lawfare” — proceeds from the Left’s disrespect for boundaries and limits, which is exactly what law in principle concerns itself with. And from there it’s a quick leap into totalizing bad faith, the operating system for government under an imposter president, “Joe Biden.” ...

In a sane world, the US Supreme Court would not just summarily strike down the Colorado ruling, but would issue a career-ending rebuke to the brain-damaged state justices who managed to not learn a basic principle of due process: innocent until proven guilty — that to brand someone a criminal, there must be a record of indictment and conviction for a particular crime, and that, in the case of Mr. Trump, a politically-motived fairy tale about an “insurrection” doesn’t cut it.

Surprise, Surprise: Soros Bucks Are Behind Colorado Ruling to Remove Trump from the Ballot...

“You know that weird, weird feeling when election day finally arrives, you go to your local polling place, only to find that the guy you wanted to vote for has been entirely removed from the ballot?

“And he was removed from that ballot by four local judges from the opposition political party.

“And so, you say, okay, well, that’s weird. Let me just write his name in. However, those same judges, they instructed the local election officials [not to] count any write-in votes for that particular candidate.

“Now, if all this sounds to you like an election somewhere in Russia, in Brazil, or maybe Venezuela, well, you [would] be wrong. This is an election taking place over in Colorado.”

Well the Supremes have already spoken and they said send it back to appeals. So now appeals are fast tracking it so expect it to be back with the Supremes by the end of the 1st month next year.

Edit: wait no, I think that's Jack(ass) Smith's case not Colorado.

There is talk in TX about taking Bidet off the ballot for fucking up border situation.

Had our Christmas beers with neighbor Mexican family. Their kids (a lot of them stereotypically ) came for a visit from Dallas. They did not vote before but now they will be voting Trump…because of border chaos. Good luck Ds with importing more Hispanics. At least in TX they vote sensibly but that may be different in other states

There is 0 chance this will stand after review by the SCOTUS. All the Colorado supremes did was embarass themselves. Perhaps this can now start an impeachment process on them.
