This IS CERTAINLY going to the Supreme’s…..
But a affirmation of this state court’s decision will effectively bar ex-President Donald J. Trump from the American Presidency again….
This is a breaking story with MORE to come….
Trump Is Disqualified from Colorado Ballot
“In a bombshell decision, Colorado’s Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that former President Donald Trump’s candidacy in the state is prohibited on constitutional grounds,” NBC News reports.
“The first-of-its kind ruling stems from a lawsuit that focused a little-known provision in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Similar challenges in other states have proven unsuccessful.”
Washington Post: “The ruling marked the first time a court kept a presidential candidate off the ballot under an 1868 provision of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office. The ruling comes as courts consider similar cases in other states.”
Politico: “The ruling will almost certainly speed efforts to force the issue up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the court contemplated that outcome by staying its decision until Jan. 4, 2024, to give the justices time to consider the matter.”
Note…..
This decision by a state court applies to Trump being on the state president Primary Ballot vote….
There are two chances that the six Republicans on the Supreme Court are going to uphold this,slim and none.
Slim has left town.
I think he loses the immunity argument
The Colorado case should not even be before the court
The Supreme’s will probably cop to a technical thumbs down on Colorado and NOT address the issue….
This whole thing does nothing but help Trump.
I disagree……
It does NOT…,,
It DOES help the media
Jack?
The shit just KEEP’s piling up……
Someone reading ALL this could rightly believe that A LOT. Of people are trying HARD to make sure Donald Trump DONT get his old job back for a Second Time…..
They’d be Right
Second thought?
WTF have an election next year?
Damn!
Let’s tell them courts we talking about Donald ‘the second coming’ Trump‼️
He the KING
Tell them judges to bow down!
Tell them Democrats STFU!
If them ‘Foreigner’s want something?
Tell’m send the check to White House addressed to him certified…
And Biden , Hillary and Obama along with Jack Smith and them people in NY?
They can All get good jail cells….
I mean seriously?
Some people just have given the fuck up…
But I’m still thinking the Big Guy gonna lose round TWO…..
The Referees in the courts , except for the one in Florida?
Ain’t buying his garbage….
Amen….
Why is this inane indecipherable rant directed at me?
Huh?
I think Trump had driven you over the edge.
You are increasingly irrational on the subject and appear on the way to some type of breakdown.
In the past you have urged people here to “ take a break.”
Maybe you should take your own advice.
The 200 or so “ people”( bots) who visit here daily can probably muddle along without your “ explanations “ as to the events of the world.
What’s the matter?
U don’t like my satire?
King Trump?
Come ON!
U all Toooooooooo Serious
For some?
Trump IS the second coming…..
I seriously doubt he can make it thru for a second term with ALL the stuff being thrown at him….
Not all the GOP’s in those polls actually voted for him in 2020….
And they won’t again
Didn’t Trump tell them their votes in a ‘rigged’ system would not count?
An addtion to my 12/20/2023 4:10PM satire on Trump the KING…..
The Best Way to Beat Trump
Andrew Sullivan: “There has been no comeback like this since Nixon. Trump now leads Biden in the swing states, and in the country at large. His issues — inflation, immigration, crime — are ascendant again. The multiple lawsuits against him have backfired, shoring up his Republican support, and lending credence to his largely spurious, but rhetorically effective, claim that he is the target of a witch hunt. (The new court ruling in Colorado is likely to have the same effect.) He has played this jujitsu masterfully, keeping the focus on himself, bobbing and weaving in a stream of countless lies and threats, taking his authoritarian pitch to new heights.”
“‘Dictator on Day One’ sounds like a branding the Democrats might have deployed to destroy him. In fact, it’s helping him win the GOP nomination in a landslide. On the GOP’s most vulnerable issues — abortion and entitlements — he has inoculated himself. It’s his election to lose. The Resistance turned out to be one of his greatest assets.”
“It may be that his unique noxiousness could derail his momentum, as the prospect of four more years of chaos looms. The New Hampshire primary may change the atmosphere, as it has in the past, and a Haley candidacy would be lethal against Biden. But it’s beyond clear now that the way to beat Trump is to compete on policy grounds — controlling mass migration, intensifying law enforcement, touting legislative wins like the CHIPS Act — rather than to disqualify him on grounds that the American public has largely rejected.”
They are talking write in maybe DSD….
My meaning should be clear, but my writing was sloppy (sleepy), so let me edit that and try again:
I don’t know what the primary election filing date is in Colorado, but the customary practice in these situations (term limits, disqualifications, etc,) is to run your spouse as a stand-in (for example Lurleen Wallace when Alabama Gov. George Wallace hit a term limit).
However, Melania Trump is constitutionally disqualified for a far less culpable reason: she was born in Slovenia, not the U.S. But I would hardly be surprised if some other surrogate runs (if necessary as a write-in), only to have his convention delegates vote for DJT himself.
