Election Interference: Here are the Four Colorado Justices Who Voted to Exclude Donald Trump from the 2024 Ballot

[Procrustes Stretched]

Actually no. If removed from the Colorado primary ballot Trump could still be elected. If Trump wins the primary election on the basis of the other 49 states, he would still be on the general election ballot, even in Colorado.

Vivek and DeSantis have condemned the unconstitutional move by the rogue state.

Not Trump.....it just was a gut feeling, I guess.

Yup, which clears the way for red states (and blue states with conservative courts) to have "gut feelings" about Joe Biden.

I would say asking illegal immigrants to "surge to the border" certainly constitutes an insurrection, and I'm sure a lot of state supreme court justices would agree.

This ruling has no effect whatsoever on the general election. No ifs, ands or buts.

None of which is affected by this ruling. This ruling only concerns the primary ballot in Colorado. It has no effect at all on federal elections.

It will if it's upheld by the SC. But the Co. SC and SoS have already deferred to their decision.

What is the Electoral College?

The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The Founding Fathers established it in the Constitution, in part, as a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. What is the process? The Electoral...

You do realize this is for a primary election. It will have no effect on the general election.

The ruling states that Trump is disqualified to hold office - that's for all elections held in Colorado. It immediately orders the Colorado Sec. of State to remove him from the primary ballot and to not count write in votes for him., but it is not limited to the primary ballot only.

Article 1, Sec. 4 of the Constitution says that States run the federal elections., so Trump will not be allowed on the Presidential election ballot in Colorado unless SCOTUS overrules.

It will if it's upheld by the SC. But the Co. SC and SoS have already deferred to their decision.

No not even if it is upheld by the Supreme Court. This is for a primary state election. If there is no primary, there is no state ballot.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

The constitution was created to protect the people from their government.

Not exactly.

 

[BlindBoo]

No not even if it is upheld by the Supreme Court. This is for a primary state election. If there is no primary, there is no state ballot.

It would have a YUGE effect on the General Election

 

[Richard-H]

SCOTUS could just refuse to hear the appeal based on Article 1 Sec. 4 of the Constitution.

In that case they'll be 49 more decisions by 49 State Supreme courts - it would be bizarre. Trump would be on the Presidential ballot in some states and not in others - I doubt that SCOTUS would want that.

Of course, Kamala Harris could reject any electors for Trump at the electoral college based on the 14th Amendment Sec. 3.

What do you think? Should they be tormented outside their homes?

Of course.

The election that Colorado wants to control is not a federal election. No electors are consulted. It is a state primary election. It is a primary election because the national Republican Committee said so. They can unsay so too.

 

[BS Filter]

Does somebody need to be convicted of insurrection for the amendment to apply to them? I don’t think that how the amendment is written. Where would they need to be charged and convicted?

Trump led a protest. He never said a word about overturning the election.

Not true. This decision has no effect on who appears on the ballot for the presidential election.

Dante........it, and the Amendments weren't created to protect the government from it's people.

If he is off the primary ballot in CO, he will definitely get left off the general

No. Trump will still be on the ballot in the general election, even in Colorado.

 

[bodecea]

Why did you call him an insurrectionist then?

Kinda like calling someone a murderer, just because, right?

Well, if he shoots someone on 5th Ave. in broad daylight, right?

 

[Richard-H]

Not true. This decision has no effect on who appears on the ballot for the presidential election.

The decision says that the 14th amendment disqualifies Trump from holding office. ANY OFFICE.
