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

[postman]

That’s pretty wild. Did it apply to everybody in southern states? For how long were they disqualified?

It's a constitutional disqualification. So it lasts for either the persons lifetime, or until the constitution is changed.

 

[Lisa558]

That's factually incorrect. The court did indeed hear testimony about what he had done.

When did Biden engage in insurrection?

What court ruled him guilty of it? Mostly they refused to hear it.

Biden took bribes from foreign adversaries. That’s treason.

 

[Slade3200]

No need. People disagreeing is no reason. Just because stupid people choose not to accept rulings.

The ruling made a legal argument and sets a precedent. SCOTUS can over rule it and define a new precedent or congress can legislate to clarify the constitutional intent

So nobody from confederate states were allowed to run for president for their entire lifetimes following the civil war?

True. As it should be.

Wow - This thread is absolute proof that MAGAs are absolutely DELUSIONAL!!!

Reality - Trump incited an insurrection

Reality - Trump will not be allowed on any election ballots.

Reality - Trump will NEVER hold Federal Office again.

Reality - Trump will go to prison.

States run the process. They don't decide who gets on presidential ballots. The parties decide who the nominees are.

Wrong Again:

How are my electors chosen? What are their qualifications? How do they decide who to vote for?​

Each candidate running for President in your State has their own group of electors (known as a slate). The slates are generally chosen by the candidate’s political party in your State, but State laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. Read more about the qualifications of the electors and restrictions on who the electors may vote for.

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...

There is no way to fix his kind of stupid.

IN ACTUALITY, Meister DID NOT. HE DID NOT REFUTE ANYTHING WITH OR WITHOUT FACTS.

It goes without saying. Nobody is guilty of anything until a conviction.

Nobody in the Confederacy was convicted or even charged with of participating in a rebellion. They were barred from holding office.

The reality is that Trump will be the Republican nominee, and likely the winner of the 2024 election - especially if the demented puppet runs opposite him.

"January 6th was a disgrace.

American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like.

Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president.
They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth – because he was angry he'd lost an election.

Former President Trump's actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty.

The House accused the former president of, quote, "incitement." That is a specific term from the criminal law.
Let me put that to the side for one moment and reiterate something I said weeks ago: There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.

The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.
And their having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth."

At last the dissent
The trial was unfair. Trump was denied due process.

Read the Colorado Supreme Court's opinions in the Trump disqualification case

The decision by the Colorado Supreme Court's 4-3 majority tees up a high-stakes showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court over the constitutional provision at the center of the case.

Setting the stage for the USSC to agree with the dissent. Denial of due process is kind of a biggie.

 

[Lisa558]

Nobody in the Confederacy was convicted or even charged with of participating in a rebellion. They were barred from holding office.

And it was obvious they were part of it. You think Lee or Stonewall would argue otherwise?

Trump committed no insurrection, nor did he incite one. This move by CO reeks of desperation and will go nowhere - other than to show their citizens how eager they are to disenfranchise Rrpublican voters.

There was no insurrection.

There was a FAILED insurrection....led and run by FAILURES.

Only those who had in the past swore an oath to the Constitution.

Nope. There was no attempt at insurrection, commie.
FACT!

Wait...maybe that wasn't an insurrection either.

Their ruling will go down like Kamala Harris on a position of power.
