Colorado Will Not Be Allowed To Deny Trump Access To Their Presidential Ballot

[BabyBoomer50s]

Sure likes 2 a lot, but 14c.. not so much.

“There is no state statute that prohibits a major political party from placing on the presidential nomination primary ballot, or sending delegates to the national convention supporting, a candidate who is ineligible to hold office,” Chief Justice Natalie Hudson ruled.

Hmmm but doesn’t say anything about the general election. Which is why she held open that for another filing.

Can’t stop what the party does with primary, but then who is on the ballot in November.

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.

If they don't pass it will just be them admitting the Constitution means nothing.

I don't think its going to pass but the 14th amendment is quite clear that there is no legal difference between natural born and naturalized. Don't get me wrong, if I had my way we'd scrap the Constitution and start over. I think so much of it in one way or another was forged either by slavery, fear of the old World and other things that don't make sense in the modern world. Hell if we followed the Constitution California and New York would probably by themselves pick the president and the House almost all by ourselves.

Good luck with that.

But if folks want to throw their vote for away on a convicted fool… just makes it easier for Ol’ Joe to win again.

I seem to recall people saying similar about Roe vs Wade (both sides). Anyone who has noticed, is aware a ruling is only valid as long as it is valid. It can be repealed and replaced it seems. nothing seems settled in law south of the border.

But if Trump is on the ballot, he’ll never be president.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

If he is on the ballot voters will decide.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

If he is on the ballot voters will decide.

No, if he’s in the ballot Biden and Harris will decide.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

No, if he’s in the ballot Biden and Harris will decide.

Each them will have a vote as will you and I.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Each them will have a vote as will you and I.

Harris has the vote that counts.

 

[DeluxAuto]

Harris has the vote that counts.

He has no idea why you're saying this.

 

[phrodeau]

Trump’s lawyer is claiming that the 14th Amendment is election interference.

So, someone has now said he did engage in the insurrection. Now just need clarification on “officer of the United States.”

The term officer means a president, vice president, secretary, treasury or principal financial officer, comptroller or principal accounting officer, and any …

Seems like pretty easy appeal.

Not looking too good for Trump.

The judge ruled that Trump committed insurrection. Let's hope that's the end of the drivel from fake internet lawyers denying that fact (!).

On the other hand, the judge ruled that it wasn't the job of the court to uphold the constitution.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: – “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

(Source, 20th Amendment US Constitution).

It takes some mental gymnastics to decide that a person who holds an office is not an officer.

Derp will do that gymnastics.

But..?? the 14th has a list the leaves out the President ???
SO.. .the geniuses of the 1800's left us with the "right" for a President to have an insurrection and be reelected or just stay in power!

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector (???) of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Oh... the list does include President. Having taken a fucking OATH???? We all heard him do that in front of the most MASSIVE audience in HISTORY................. oh.. wait... he told us not to believe what we see or hear...

And that EMOLUMENTS garbage??? Come on! Who could possibly understand that ancient jargon!
Fucking Judges!!! Replace them all with AI. Lawyers too!!

emoluments

1. a salary, fee, or profit from employment or office.
   
   
   
   

 

[Rightguide]

The judge wrongly concluded Trump was guilty of insurrection but stated he could not be removed from the ballot in Colorado. This is why unstudied left-wingers should never be allowed to sit on the bench. She's absolutely stupid and ideologically bent.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

It was not a criminal case. Trump was not charged with any crimes, there was no trial, no plea bargain, no conviction, no acquittal. It was a civil case to determine if Trump is eligible to be on the ballot. As Michigan, Minnesota, and now Colorado courts have established, the answer is yes, he is indeed eligible and will appear on the ballots in those states. The groups pursuing this cause are 0-3.

So far no one has convicted him there fore the law does not have any standing. YOU NEED A CONVICTION. Turn in that sears law degree other wise screwballs like you woiuld contest every election. The amendment was intended to prevent only the confederates from holding office, not Republican.
