It’s the first court to find that the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment applies to Mr. Trump, in addition to affirming that he engaged in insurrection.

    “Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice,” a campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, said.

    I just lost several IQ points through reading this statement.

    It’s a gift article, so everyone should be able to read it.

    The case is pending appeal, and Trump will be able to appeal to the US Supreme Court.

    The Colorado Supreme Court cited January 6th and the 14th Amendment to justify Trump’s removal from the ballot.

    Let’s hope this ruling holds, and that Colorado is only the first of many states.

      At least something finally happened. Even if the SCOTUS strikes it down, at least an attempt was made somewhere to finally punish him for Jan. 6th. It feels like we’re just sleepwalking into letting him get away with it with no consequences and letting him try it again in 2024.

        Completely agree.

        I would be shocked if the Supreme Court upheld this, but now they’re going to be forced to deliver an opinion on it.

        But at least we now have at least one state Supreme Court calling January 6th what it is: an insurrection.

          Gee, I wonder if insurrection-supporting Ginni Thomas’ corrupt husband will recuse himself … /s

            Surely you jest, after almost 234 years the Supreme Court has ethics guidelines now, they have the highest standards now… or at least as high as they can limbo dance under.

        Don’t cry happiness too soon, it’s just Colorado, an already Blue State. This being before the conservatives in the Big Supreme Court decides to squash this.
