Where are all the progressive trolls cheering authoritarianism? Stretching the law to achieve your political goals is something usually reserved for third world banana republics. Going to get interesting when these tactics are turned around onto the establishment. This has zero chance of surviving on appeal. Partisan identity politics will destroy this country.
Read the constitution. Section 3 of the Civil War-era 14th Amendment says: “No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States … who, having previously taken an oath … as an officer of the United States … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion… The tRump instigated an insurrection. A number of the foot soldiers of tRumps coup have been convicted of and are serving hard time for sedition. He is not eligible for office. THREE levels of the Colorado court system have declared him to be an insurrectionist. The states govern the election process within their borders. He lost in Colorado and if SCOTUS takes the case we will see if they keep to states rights or negate the constitution for the sake of orange jesus.
One tiny, little problem with this. Trump was neither charged nor convicted of Insurrection, so expect the Supreme Court to quickly knock this down. BTW – way to incite people to come to Trumps side dumbocrats. The more he is persecuted the more support he gets. You’re actually helping him, and he is already winning in the polls, especially in the 7 swing states, so thank you.
The original lawsuit to dump Trump from the Colorado primary ballot was a group of 4 Republicans and 2 non affiliates. Donald Sherman, Executive Vice Preside And Chief Counsel Of Citizens For Responsibility And Ethics In Washington then filed the lawsuit in Colorado on behalf of the plaintiffs. youtube com /watch?v=yLSIChBaUx4

Spot on, Mr. Payne! Bravo!
Leftists alway, ALWAYS, accuse others of what they are doing, that’s why they claim conservatives want to destroy democracy.

Republicans sure do weep and wail whenever one of their own is taken to task for committing crimes.
Guess the LAWNORDER party is all about yelling at those kids to stay off the grass.

Then describe to me the purpose of the 14th amendment other than remove people from running who might have won?
