    Hey, it just hit me.... this is another case that Thomas should recuse himself from, but won't...

    I'm sure Ginni is already working her conservative charms on poor Clarence...

    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.

    The decision from a court whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors marks the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.

    Colorado's highest court overturned a ruling from a district court judge who found that Trump incited an insurrection for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but said he could not be barred from the ballot because it was unclear that the provision was intended to cover the presidency.

    The court stayed its decision until Jan. 4, or until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the case.

    ________________________________________________

    There you go.

    Other states will follow Colorado's example.

    That's my prediction.

    Imagine if Trump is disqualified in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania.....

    We don't want an insurectionist like POTUS.

    I'm not sure.

    The Constitution clearly states that you can't hold a government position if you've given comfort to insurectionists.

    Will SCOTUS conclude that being President is not a government position?

    Nothing is less certain.

    Sounds like you have a problem with the constitutional eligibility requirements for presidential candidates.

    I am sure basic goodness will win out,
    Even if it requires the massacre of MAGA.

    Very expected. The left have embraced fascism.

    Don't like someone? Ban them and jail them.

    Welcome to the democrat created world of violence that is inevitable from such levels of fascism.

    The sudden interest in the constitution is refreshing. I am just remembering all the talk about election interference and voter suppression.

    Does the constitution protect election interference and voter suppression?

    Basking in the glory of fascism. Shocking but not really dems would do that.

    This will win the Democrat fascist part the election which is why they are excited about it. This will create a lot of confusion in the republican party on who to or can be voted for in each state.

    This is what an actual attack on democracy looks like.

    A candidate does not need to win every State, and never does. In 2016 Trump lost 15 States, including Colorado and Texas and still won the nomination.

    I am uneasy about this, simply because Republicans might try to do the same thing to Biden, simply out of spite.

    It protects whatever you agree with and gets translated when you disagree.

    President Biden hasn't; "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

    the democrats keep poking at the USSC. they should leave well enough alone-the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs was the biggest gift a court has given a political party since the USSC prevented Gore from stealing Florida.

    Biden has certainly given our enemies aid and comfort with his inept "leadership" and general incompetence

    It's not fascism, but it's probably not up to the Supreme Court of Colorado to decide whether there was an insurrection or not.
