The due process argument is interesting, as is this. It's not just a matter of taking Trump off the ballot. Even if voters write his name in, those votes aren't counted. So it's also disenfranchisement for voters. I frequently hear the argument of term limits and age limits on representatives and senators as being unconstitutional because you can't limit who people can vote for. Well, here we are. You're trying to tell people they can't vote for Trump because *Colorado* says he engaged in insurrection, whatever that is. Finally, the precedent this sets is nasty. Do they seriously think that this won't be abused in the future to keep "their guy" off the ballot? These people are so shortsighted it makes my head hurt.
Of course it leads to an insurrection arms race. Ilhan Omar engaged in insurrection by joining Hamas supporters who were arrested at the Capitol! Of course it opens an endless partisan pissing match. Shortsighted, yes.
It’s almost as if the originators of this are hoping for violence. Either Trump supporters who feel disenfranchised if the Supreme court doesn’t over turn the decision or leftist who will claim the court is illegitimate if it does.
Feels like a lose lose if you really care about the country.
I fear you are correct, and the convenient timing of Hollywood blockbusters about "civil war" makes me even more concerned for what those originators may be hoping for. [Edit: typo]
Isn't this the most short-sighted way to go about this though? Federal judges overturning state judges is hard to work up into the radical crisis of democracy that their herstrionics call for
I disagree that it's shortsighted. If the Republicans ever tried to go tit for tat (they wouldn't) that gambit wouldn't last a week before getting shut down in court, after the courthouses and State houses were shut down by Marxist/Democrat protestors.
The heart of most problems in this country always leads back to the two-tiered justice system. Thanks to Obama & Holder.
Once democrats win 2024, how many more legitimate elections do people think we're going to have? If it isn't already obvious, they are telling us, by all this lawfare, exactly how much they trust the democratic process.
Right. Super worried about the 'legal precedence' aspect of this - absent concrete action by legislators (we're fucked) - this will essentially establish as normal the tossing of undesired candidates off ballots nationwide.
Oh Hey wait - that's been happening to non-duopoly candidates for decades. Carry on.
We often warn that Republicans could also employ this type of "lawfare" against Democrats once bad precedents like this have been set. That warning assumes a more or less equal split between Democrats and Republicans in the legal community. I doubt that's the case. Republicans would have a difficult time using this tactic and are less likely to try given their greater respect for constitutional constraints on government power.
It's not necessarily Ds vs Rs. It's the precedent given to the establishment. Now they can knock any populist candidate out of the running if they can find that they "insurrected" some how. Look for Ds to use it on populist candidates in their own party and Rs to use it on populists candidates among them And Rs do occasionally do the tit-for-tat. The Ds lowered the threshold for lower court judges and the Rs did the same for SCOTUS justices. I can also see Rs going after an Ilhan Omar or a Rashida Tailib, just to score points with their base.
Good point, particularly as it applies to the SCOTUS tit for tat. Republican politicians were able to accomplish that directly, however, without co-opting the legal community. They simply had to ignore the filibuster using the actions of Harry Reid as justification. You're also correct that it may be more accurately characterized as establishment (i.e., most of the legal community) vs. the populists.
They routinely don't think they'll ever be out of power again, and besides, I have yet to see an elected republican willing to beat a Democrat with their own stick. I've been waiting years to see such a republican, but I think I'll probably meet a yeti first.
This. I'm so tired of hearing all this "imagine if the roles were reversed" nonsense when experience has shown Republicans either can't or won't resort to the same tactics Democrats routinely use.
I was born and raised in west by-God Texas but I’ve been in Colorado for 23 years now, 22 of them in a very rural setting. Urban Colorado is not Colorado anymore, it’s contemporary California. Boulder-Denver is now a Mecca for the Fuchsia-shirted Elites.
Most of the intelligent people have moved into the countryside--or Wyoming--and only the Intellectuals are left, working studiously to outdo their neighbors’ Smart Homes and EV’s and trans-kids.
I wish they’d all just got to hell, already. They will eventually.
"I wish they’d all just got to hell, already. They will eventually."
Very true, but unfortunately they are taking the rest of us with them -- at least in the sense of turning this formerly First-World nation into a hopelessly dysfunctional and criminally corrupt Third-World hell on earth.
I saw a meme yesterday. Picture of a ship at sea. The caption read, “It’s not the water AROUND a ship that sinks it, it’s the water that gets IN to a ship, that sinks it.” Message being, we cannot let the Progressive intentional-insanity make us insane as well.
We can and will keep our heads, and protect our families, and maintain the Constitution in whatever means are necessary.
Liberals of all stripes and income levels, or lack thereof, create their own hells within their own heads, then smear it like feces all over the rest of us. They are miserable, so we must all be miserable too.
"... Section Three doesn’t spell out the procedures that must be followed to determine whether someone has engaged in insurrection after taking the prerequisite oath. ... it sheds no light on whether a jury must be empaneled or a bench trial will suffice, the proper burdens of proof and standards of review, the application of discovery and evidentiary rules, or even whether civil or criminal proceedings are contemplated."
There's the play - the rat fuckers are using the Kangaroos of Colorado to SET LEGAL PRECEDENCE, which if not slapped down by SCOTUS, will mean that "insurrection" will be whatever, whenever so deemed, by any prosecutor or judge; likely useable in any convenient jurisdiction in any 'battleground' state.
It’s much worse than that, my friend. “Insurrection” is at least a defined term with a corresponding criminal statute. “or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof,” the other clause in that sentence, could mean literally anything. Is Trump an enemy of the United States? Based on this ruling, they sure think so. Did you donate to Trump? Did you vote for Trump? Were you a congressman who supported him? Then you have given aid or comfort to enemies of the United States and are disqualified from holding office. No due process required.
If this decision stands, we are on the slipperiest of slopes to one party rule.
We're so far beyond too far, and have been so long now, that people elected a guy like Trump just to express their anger at how too far we've gone. That was seven years ago. Back then most people didn't even know there was a road this far out beyond too far to follow. But I can see it continues well beyond this point.
You are right. Seven years ago, for me, my Trump vote was more an anti-Hillary vote. Now, I would support Trump primarily because our government institutions and the media have devolved into third world political tools.
“We had the candidate who is leading in all of the polls, and who has previously served as President, thrown off of the ballot. This is a huge victory for Our Democracy.”
The “our” in “our Democracy” is quite a tell these days. Which Democracy is who’s again?
It’s about time that the people who say we need to do something, actually do it. What’s it going to take before enough is actually enough? We’re due for a showdown. That’s for sure. That’s for danged sure.
Yes... they ARE pushing us to civil war. But are they lacking self-awareness? Perhaps the indoctrinated bootlicks who follow their shadowy masters. But the coming clash is being engineered with the perfect, smug awareness of untouchable elites at a rigged poker game... with we the people the losers. Then the escalating shouts of "We must Save our Democracy!!" will justify the final shredding of our Constitution and the sacred rights that it protects.
So he's given no due process by this court based almost entirely on the 1/6 Committee report that was conducted without even a pretense of due process.
The 1/6 Report is its own thing, worth its own piece. The authors were not given access to any law enforcement files. Meaning, they were relying on open source information and volunteering witnesses (many thought that cooperating with the Committee would get them good will in the separate criminal proceeding). It is, the the account of the authors, a narrative and not an investigation.
> All you need do is move to a Red state; then your vote is safe, and as sane people move, electoral votes move with them.
1) They'll destroy the country long before that plan comes to pass.
2) There are Blue cities in Red states and a lot of fraud in those cities.
3) The Biden regime will dump a bunch of illegal aliens in your Red state, and the DOJ will make it impossible to enforce the rules against them voting.
I'd love to be wrong, but there's no peaceful way out of this.
Agreed on the grand design aspect. Yet this strikes me as the CO court going rogue and trying to score points with an original unapproved partisan attack.
Mostly because I think the DNC/Deep State *is* too smart to throw out something this egregiously stupid. They have The Best evil minds.
I do not see how this fits into a smart grand design.
It doesn't matter. I've been opposed to what's happening for decades, but there isn't a damned thing I can do about it. I've seen up close how inert the people are. They won't lift a finger to defend their rights.
The Colorado Supreme Court 4-3 Decision Is Pure Nonsense and Can Be Laughed At, They Even Admit It on Page 9...
[...Three main points before getting to the substance. [213 page opinion HERE]
#1) It was a 4-3 decision. Meaning it was the politics of the court, literally the political makeup and perspective therein, that determined the outcome of the decision. This is showcased in point #3, which is the funniest part.
#2) The entire framework of the case against Trump in the Colorado decision is predicated on this: “[the complainants] asserted that he was ineligible under Section Three because he engaged in insurrection on January 6, 2021, after swearing an oath as President to support the U.S. Constitution.” [pdf, page 6] REMINDER – President Donald Trump was not charged with “insurrection,” is not accused of “insurrection,” does not fit the complaint under the definitions of “insurrection,” and has never been found guilty of insurrection. The complaint is moot before the court. But hey, it’s Lawfare… and we all know Lawfare is created for public media consumption, so that takes us directly to the biggest point.
#3) Instead of me writing it, let me screengrab it so we can all laugh together [pdf page 9]. ...
This makes it all the more screamingly foolish - essentially risking major unrest on a "we don't really mean it"? How criminally stupid and degenerate are these people??
Another way to read this is "we'll let Trump have the chance to win the election, and pull the rug out from under him at the last minute if we can get away with it, thereby allowing the presidency to default to our preferred candidate." I'm not saying they're that clever. But it could play out this way later.
Bahahaha! Regardless of the eventual outcome (I feel sure Trump will appeal to the SC,) this proves again that Dems are mostly made of virtue signaling nonsense - not so much a political party as a marketing scheme. And as long as average Dems continue having their feewings hurt by the Orange One, idiots like these in CO will continue running their infomercials to keep them in line with the new dictatorship...cuz Democracy, of course.
The TDS just runs so deep. It really is a cult, they sit in their towers scribbling away looking for the magic formula that will defeat the demonic intruder. Hardcore true believers who devote their existence to harpooning their great orange whale. From hell’s heart, they stab at him.
He piled upon the whale's orange hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it.
All of this is a symptom of what has happened to our nation.
As the US moves away from Christianity, there is no moral foundation and certainly no moral absolutes.
Everyone is doing what is right in his own heart and the majority of the Colorado Supreme Court have decided it's right to remove Trump from the ballot regardless of the fact that he's been convicted of noirhing.
This will get thrown out by SCOTUS in about 5 minutes. Sick of these Commie activist judges.
Commies don’t care about the law. They use it as a cudgel. Starting with the DOJ and the vegetable in the Oval Office. Sad times for the Republicans. Just say no to Commies and RINOs. Your testosterone will go back up.
I pray that all of the proponents of convicting Trump on bogus charges shall experience the same thing. For months and months. And they need to feel the consequences. Monetarily, reputationally, etc. Then let’s revisit the topic.
Yeah that word 'shall', as in "...shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year...” is kinda sticky, even for people weaselly in their legalese
If this is a state’s rights issue then Republican controlled states need to do the same. Ban every Democrat within the state from running for reelection. Then don’t allow the Democrat presidential candidate to appear on the ballot.
The due process argument is interesting, as is this. It's not just a matter of taking Trump off the ballot. Even if voters write his name in, those votes aren't counted. So it's also disenfranchisement for voters. I frequently hear the argument of term limits and age limits on representatives and senators as being unconstitutional because you can't limit who people can vote for. Well, here we are.

Of course it leads to an insurrection arms race. Ilhan Omar engaged in insurrection by joining Hamas supporters who were arrested at the Capitol! Of course it opens an endless partisan pissing match. Shortsighted, yes.
Too bad this accusation comes from a certified insurrectioner and can't be trusted!
**literally shaking**
How does one go about becoming an "insurrectioner" certification administrator? Sounds like a cake job
It’s almost as if the originators of this are hoping for violence. Either Trump supporters who feel disenfranchised if the Supreme court doesn’t over turn the decision or leftist who will claim the court is illegitimate if it does.
Feels like a lose lose if you really care about the country.
Democracy dies by State-assisted suicide in Colorado, apparently....
I fear you are correct, and the convenient timing of Hollywood blockbusters about "civil war" makes me even more concerned for what those originators may be hoping for. [Edit: typo]
This point exactly! I was literally talking about this today with a colleague after we heard the news report....all the way in Aus too!!
It’s felt like that for awhile, for anyone who doesn’t use the GLOSSARY definition of “democracy”.
To the "democracy" means technocratic oligarchy.
"democracy" is whatever the left needs it to be. They are not stuck on literal.
They're not even stuck on pretending to be a little consistent.
Isn't this the most short-sighted way to go about this though? Federal judges overturning state judges is hard to work up into the radical crisis of democracy that their herstrionics call for
Remember to them Trump is hitler therefore anything he does is racist.
Plus they need race, only an excuse to “save democracy” from the orange man
> It’s almost as if the originators of this are hoping for violence.
No, they're hoping we'll just take this one on the chin like we did nearly all their other abuses of power.
Bingo, Jeff!
I disagree that it's shortsighted. If the Republicans ever tried to go tit for tat (they wouldn't) that gambit wouldn't last a week before getting shut down in court, after the courthouses and State houses were shut down by Marxist/Democrat protestors.

The last legitimate election was in 2016.
But we shouldn't fight back because "that's what they want".
Right. Super worried about the 'legal precedence' aspect of this - absent concrete action by legislators (we're fucked) - this will essentially establish as normal the tossing of undesired candidates off ballots nationwide.
Oh Hey wait - that's been happening to non-duopoly candidates for decades. Carry on.

I'm thinking about the DNC rigging the debates between Bernie Sanders and the Pantsuited One, and reading in that context. Yes, not just D vs. R.
Good point, particularly as it applies to the SCOTUS tit for tat. Republican politicians were able to accomplish that directly, however, without co-opting the legal community. They simply had to ignore the filibuster using the actions of Harry Reid as justification.

"Do they seriously think that this won't be abused in the future to keep "their guy" off the ballot?"
They don't intend to ever lose power so why would they care?
Absolutely brilliant point. Especially your last sentence.
I can write in "Donald Duck" and my ballot would have to be counted. This decision is blatantly unconstitutional.
I was born and raised in west by-God Texas but I’ve been in Colorado for 23 years now, 22 of them in a very rural setting. Urban Colorado is not Colorado anymore, it’s contemporary California. Boulder-Denver is now a Mecca for the Fuchsia-shirted Elites.

Happening everywhere. We're becoming two different countries based on where people live: City/suburbs or rural.
HOT SHIT. From 3rd paragraph of shared dissent:
"... Section Three doesn’t spell out the procedures that must be followed to determine whether someone has engaged in insurrection after taking the prerequisite oath. ... it sheds no light on whether a jury must be empaneled or a bench trial will suffice, the proper burdens of proof and standards of review, the application of discovery and evidentiary rules, or even whether civil or criminal proceedings are contemplated."

did you post flaming memes about how our country is doomed? filthy insurrectionist
Exactly!
Without sounding too naive, I can’t believe this is happening in America and people are okay with it.
There are a boatload of created communists in this country.
Reading it now. Not impressed so far. This is another version of "The CDC says you're an anti-vaxxer so we're pulling your medical license".
I kept thinking, “Enough is enough. They’ve gone too far.”
I was wrong. NOW they’ve gone too far.
“In order to save the village, we had to destroy it.”
“The beatings will continue until morale improves.”
We're so far beyond too far, and have been so long now, that people elected a guy like Trump just to express their anger at how too far we've gone. That was seven years ago. Back then most people didn't even know there was a road this far out beyond too far to follow. But I can see it continues well beyond this point.

“But you do not need an advanced degree in hermeneutics to understand that what they mean by 'our democracy' is their oligarchy.” — Roger Kimball
It’s about time that the people who say we need to do something, actually do it. What’s it going to take before enough is actually enough? We’re due for a showdown. That’s for sure. That’s for danged sure.
"...A huge moment for our democracy..."
It's shocking how shamelessly the leftists use "our democracy" literally to mean "our increasingly despotic anti-democratic regime".
Their lack of self-awareness may be leading them to a confrontation that they really do not want. They are forcing us to make a choice.
Remember to the left "democracy" means technocratic oligarchy.
TRANSHUMANIST technocratic oligarchy....
In fact I'd say most of the oligarchs are absolutely terrified of transhumanism because they fear they won't be able to control it.
Not particularly transhumanist at this point.
But not for lack of trying on the part of "WPATH", & ilk....
Yes... they ARE pushing us to civil war. But are they lacking self-awareness? Perhaps the indoctrinated bootlicks who follow their shadowy masters. But the coming clash is being engineered with the perfect, smug awareness of untouchable elites at a rigged poker game... with we the people the losers. Then the escalating shouts of "We must Save our Democracy!!" will justify the final shredding of our Constitution and the sacred rights that it protects.
Unless there are the numbers we think there are. If my guess is correct, they won’t be safe, anywhere.
So he's given no due process by this court based almost entirely on the 1/6 Committee report that was conducted without even a pretense of due process.
Yeah we're ready for a showdown.

they are hoping that you will revolt, so that they can use that as proof.
You don't need to.
All you need do is move to a Red state; then your vote is safe, and as sane people move, electoral votes move with them.

Yep.I don’t see it. If this be the war I die in, I’ve lived a very good life.
Some are hoping for a RECTUM EXPLOSION.
I expect a lot of folks will notice just how flagrantly the shark has been jumped.
Of course, I suppose the next question is what are they willing to try next?
The Democrats rarely do something without a plan.
There's a reason they've decided to go with Biden again.
So you're right. What do they plan next?
It would be silly to think they don't have a plan imo.
Agreed on the grand design aspect. Yet this strikes me as the CO court going rogue and trying to score points with an original unapproved partisan attack.
Mostly because I think the DNC/Deep State *is* too smart to throw out something this egregiously stupid. They have The Best evil minds.
I do not see how this fits into a smart grand design.
Of course, my Momma dropped me a lot. :)
Whoops I somehow deleted my comment
It does sometimes feel as though a game of one-upsmanship is being played; "pff, we got away with THAT? ooh ooh I got one!..."
Its a real game. It IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.... no "as though" about it!
So, what are they going to do about it?
It doesn't matter. I've been opposed to what's happening for decades, but there isn't a damned thing I can do about it. I've seen up close how inert the people are. They won't lift a finger to defend their rights.

Look for more rogue decisions. They're coming.
I keep coming back to what folk like Charles Jaco, Chris Hedges and Michael Yon ( all guys that spent time in war zones ) have said…
The spark for violence is always there…it’s the conditions that matter.
They setting up another BAD condition
This will get thrown out by SCOTUS in about 5 minutes. Sick of these Commie activist judges.

Exactly
Anyone seen this? Democrats in D-controlled Oregon are banning Republicans from running for reelection:
https://www.frontpagemag.com/oregon-dems-ban-republicans-from-running-for-office/
If this is a state’s rights issue then Republican controlled states need to do the same. Ban every Democrat within the state from running for reelection. Then don’t allow the Democrat presidential candidate to appear on the ballot.
