Hillary won the Colorado vote, but they don’t want to vote for her to keep Trump out of the White House. That’s what you get when you legalize pot.

Well junior constitutional expert, are you aware that impeachment only removes one from office?

Impeachment is the formal bringing of charges, much like an indictment. The impeached is only removed from office after trial and conviction.

I’ve asked how Democrat electors in my state not voting for Hillary defeats Trump.

He really messed up people’s minds.

“A federal judge in Colorado on Monday denied a motion filed by two electors who want to avoid voting for the presidential candidate who won the state’s popular vote in an effort to keep Donald Trump out of the White House. “

Another way of looking at it, since Colorado was called for Hillary, this is a tacit admission that she did not honestly win anything....

Oh we get it, we totally get their weird logic.

I’m going to tell the referee to take points away from my team because then my opponent will do the same and I’ll win!
These are some heavy users we are talking about.

They want to establish precedent of not following the electoral will of the state legislature. That way, all electors will be subject to bribery and blackmail.

Can they impose prison sentences on the impeached individual or does that have to have another trial?

Few judges have taken her side in this mess.

I think even liberal judges understand this is an absurdity and you don’t mess with the presidential transition.

They also think by not voting they will stop the process from moving forward and therefore preventing Trump from taking office. Not just delusions but delusions of grandeur

Translation of judges order.

Are you crazy. You do realize you will undermine the federal government and its institutions. Do you not understand this could affect me, and I have a good thing going.

Now go mess up some state laws somewhere and leave my world alone.

I’m sure these electors took on the legal expenses themselves
