Some lib organizations will see that this Colorado nonsense ultimately helps Trump and start arguing against it.
What are we to do if the USSC rules that the selection of electors is a States’ Rights issue and punts on making a decision?
(I don’t believe that the present Court will do it, but there is that sometimes pesky Amendment #10 in the Bill of Rights.)
How about we toss Kolorado?
That is really the concern from the board. But I don't doubt the board would have a problem if it could only work one way.
California is mulling the idea. What we see is Leftism is trying to essentially cancel the elections by having only one party one candidate. This is the end of Democracy in the US. And just a note. not a Trump fan. But in using the 14th amendment Joe and the Democrats are now actively involved in a coup or an insurrection.
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.
Nope,
We need more of these decisions from the ‘honorable’ democrats running our corrupt & expensive law system.(sarcasm)
Don’t worry, House, Senate, and State Republicans are all over these liberal bogus lawsuits like white on rice.(sarcasm)
Ditching these “do nothing” Republican bums after November 5, 2024 will give me great pleasure.
What little credibility courts had is gone.
Woke ruined the judiciary just like it did Bud Light.
Everyone knows this Lawfare including the CO nonsense is simply Marxist political theater.
This Constitutional Republic is fraying fast and about to snap.
WaPo is mostly worried that repubicans could pull this exact same stunt against democrats ...
Too late, WaPo. SCOTUS will overturn the ruling but the whole world sees what you DemonRats are doing.
Or judges in a state deem that Biden is guilty of "bribery, treason, and high crimes and misdemeanors" and therefore Biden is "disqualified to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States", and therefore unable to be on the ballot?
Yeah, imagine that can of worms certain parties don't want opened....
This is another myth by the left that has taken hold.
SCOTUS ruled 7-2 to stop the partial Florida recounts of Dade, Broward, and West Palm Beach counties on 14th amendment equal protection grounds.
It was only the 5-4 ruling that Florida did not have sufficient time to recount the entire state before the certification deadline passed that was along party lines.
It was the 7-2 ruling that stopped the steal in Florida, and that was not a " splintered, party-line" decision.

I never thought I’d be agreeing with the WaPo on anything, but here we are.
What exactly was the “armed mob” armed with pray tell??? Flags???
Should the SC not find 9-0 against colorado sc, I pity the fool(s)
It wasn’t an insurrection, it was a riot.
Did anyone at the time declare an insurrection ??? The DC mayor ?? The Maryland Governor ???? The President ????
You can’t just say something was an insurrection without meeting certain criteria, especially since we have examples of actual insurrections to compare too. All of them involved organized conspirators working in unison for a specific common cause, all of them lasted more than a few hours (more often years), all of them involved planned violence, all of them involved prolonged resistance to Federal authority and in all cases the conspirators refused to stop their actions even after notice was given to cease or they refused to negotiate a cessation of hostilities until forced to by military action.
I’m agreeing with the Washington Compost? Did Hell freeze over?
Someone please enlighten me... how does a state court have standing in a matter of federal law at all?
They most certainly should not throw out that case, what they should do is throw out the jurists
