Now, some Democrats close to the president fear that knocking Trump from the ballot will flip that script — or at least blunt Biden’s message.
… The decision makes it look "like Colorado is attempting election interference
To who?! Idiots? That’s quite a take.
A guy I know said, “they are the ones destroying democracy–he hasn’t been convicted!” Ok. IANAL. However… Deciding on barring Trump does not require a separate court case. Weighing evidence to determine if he participated in insurrection is part and parcel of the court case he just went through. They determined he did. Otherwise they would’ve cited the need for a conviction. But they didn’t. Now it is up to SCOTUS.
This is our legal system operating the way it is supposed to. Trump got his due process with respect to this issue and the legal arguments seemed to me (IANAL) to be carefully considered in the initial ruling (I skimmed it) along with reasoning out a sane definition for insurrection based on a number of factors. Show me how the findings are bullshit. You can’t because they aren’t.(note) I haven’t read the CO Supreme Court ruling, though.
The system is working as intended. It followed the 14th Amendment and other laws. I fail to see a problem.
Let’s say FL does the same thing but for Biden, claiming that some act of his was insurrection. Ok, cool. As long as the judges follow good legal reasoning and weigh the arguments, then the system works whatever the decision. Since Biden hasn’t done insurrection, he will be eligible.
If your guy says shit to a mob like Trump did to get them to storm the fucking capitol, your guy shouldn’t be holding office, ffs. Sorry not sorry.
