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

[DeluxAuto]

You called it!

It's not hard to pick their game apart. They're a desperate group reduced to desperate acts to defend the undefendable.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

Who would have guessed that vetteguide would be so wrong about something and make a thread about it to further prove what a mentally handicapped old man he is?

I'm pretty shocked.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

Yes. It’s ironic that many of the same people who are warning that Trump is a threat to democracy are trying to block a democratic election by keeping him off the ballot.

Image being like you and thinking trump should be held above the law. lol

Poor trumptards.

That’s silly. Choosing one candidate over another doesn’t mean the voters who chose the winning candidate didn’t want a choice. Current data indicates that most voters prefer Trump over Biden. Sorry amigo.

No, it shows a slight Trump lead at worst and a slight Biden lead at best. Polling in the low-mid 40s does not indicate "most" voters prefer anything.

You're basically the Democratic version of Senator McCarthy

Ah - you're an idiot, then. Got it.

From The 14th Amendment:

“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President… 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…”.

The left likes to make up its own law but in the case of denying Trump on their presidential ballot on the basis of the 14th Amendment restrictions regarding "officers" engaged in insurrection fails on the words of John Roberts in the case mentioned below:
w:

In the decision of Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010), Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion:

“The people do not vote for the ‘Officers of the United States.’ Art. II, §2, cl. 2. They instead look to the President to guide the ‘assistants or deputies … subject to his superintendence.'” – Chief Justice John Roberts, 2010.

If I had read it I am sure I would agree with that statement. But I value my time far too much for that.

 

[Raazor]

So, an actual court ruled that Trump incited an insurrection to overturn an election he lost at the ballot box and therefore cannot run for election in Colorado again?

Well, aside from this ruling being a statement of the bleeding obvious, I suspect Clarence will be in line for a bumper payday in the near future.

I think you short yourself on this prediction. He also sees the added benefit of getting laid.

Trump’s actions were the cause of his disbarment. You commit a crime, you do the time.

After all, Republicans spent 8 years trying to remove/disbar Obama from office over his birthplace, so I think invoking the constitution over inciting an insurrection and trying to overturn an election is something Republicans/Conservatives should be applauding.

And it’s sad that certain elements only believe in constitutionality when it suits and not across the board.

Well, it WAS "republicans" that challenged Drumpfs eligibility in Colorado, so…



Of course, NOW it’s being spun by the usual suspect gaslighters as an attack from the "Liberal run Deep State".



I’m of the mind that, yeah, a corrupt orange traitor that CLEARLY fomented and participated in an insurrection against the United States WHILE PRESIDENT should definitely be barred from ever holding ANY office again.

I’m also of the mind that the point should be moot, because a corrupt orange traitor that CLEARLY fomented and participated in an insurrection against the United States WHILE PRESIDENT should have been tried and executed by now.

*nods*

lol. Trump has not been disbarred. He’s not an attorney.

Actually, I do trust voters to make the call, just like they did resoundingly in 2020.

I agree with this. Despite all the polls--where those being polled seem willfully ignorant of what is actually happening in the economy and politically in the nation--screaming Trump is on top, I just don't see the national electorate voting him into office. It would have to be another manipulation of the electoral college. By rights--on the abortion issue alone--the Democrats should take both houses in the next election.

What's good enough for Cheeto is corruption when used against Cheeto.

Be careful what you wish for!

Unfortunately, there IS that damned electoral college...

You're the turd in this punchbowl, SmokingFloater.

 

[TastySuckToy]

I strongly suspect this is just a test case for removing Trump off ballots. Once they go through the first test run of this, they'll have a much better picture how to do it later on.

The goal is to get Trump off the ballots just before the election, and afterwards regardless whether it was legal or considered election interference, the election will be over.

 

[KeithD]

If Trump gets nailed for election interference in the D.C. or Georgia cases before the national elections, you can be damn sure that his name on ballots will be legitimacy challenged using the 14th Amendment, which fits the situation like a glove.

You're the turd in this punchbowl, SmokingFloater.

and you're a prominent proponent of the poop posse, pussy.

correct!

can the maga maggots write him in and will it count?

Trump isn't a lawyer or a member of the bar. He hasn't been convicted of committing any crime relevant to the 14th Amendment Section 3. In fact the 14th Amendment Section 3 does not apply to the President in the first place. Only stupid left-wingers think so. The SCOTUS has ruled on the Section 3 language three times. The latest in 2010 by the Chief Justice himself:

"What is necessary to constitute a person an officer of the United States in any of the various branches of its service has been very fully considered by this Court in United States v. Germaine, 99 U. S. 508. In that case, it was distinctly pointed out that under the Constitution of the United States, all its officers were appointed by the President, by and with the consent of the Senate, or by a court of law or the head of a department, and the heads of the departments were defined in that opinion to be what are now called the members of the cabinet. Unless a person in the service of the government, therefore, holds his place by virtue of an appointment by the President or of one of the courts of justice or heads of departments authorized by law to make such an appointment, he is not, strictly speaking, an officer of the United States."

United States v. Mouat, 124 U.S. 303 (1888)


In the decision of Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010), Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his majority opinion:

“The people do not vote for the ‘Officers of the United States.’ Art. II, §2, cl. 2. They instead look to the President to guide the ‘assistants or deputies … subject to his superintendence.'” – Chief Justice John Roberts, 2010.
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/561/477/

This is why when the Trump appeal of the Colorado decision gets to the SCOTUS the findings of the Colorado Supreme Court will be reversed. The Section 3 language of the 14th Amendment does not apply to the President.

Only a leftwing under-educated idiot would try and maintain that the President was somehow involved in an insurrection against himself.

Colorado voters who want Trump to be the GOP presidential nominee will not need to write him in. Trump‘s name will be on the March 5th primary ballot and their votes will count.
