“ First time since 1860 that Democrats tried to keep the leading Republican candidate of the ballot.”
I think it highly likely that history could again “rhyme.”
If Trump is elected again next year, I believe - pretty strongly - that the Left (with the support of much of the federal bureaucracy and numerous states) will revolt violently. (For when it comes to actual violence, the Left has the patriot side beat hands-down). That is when a hot civil conflict will begin, that will be their casus belli. The outcome will probably depend on where the loyalty of the military and law enforcement resides (no certain thing). But in the end I think it will signal a breakup of states and regions, leading to a Balkanization of the continent with China taking full advantage.
Sorry, got you mixed up with that writer. My apologies.
Almost 153 years to the day!
Because nothing screams Democracy like keeping your number one opponent off the ballot. /sarc off
Don't forget nazipelouzy, upchuckyschlepter and a host of others in the district of corruption concocted the whole scheme.
I can hardly wait until we get to see those TREASONOUS a$$}{at$ swinging on the end of a rope.
How could a state supreme court possibly make that factual decision? Did I miss the trial and evidence?
This is a straight up insurrection.
I think Colorado is trying its darnedest to “out California” California. What a liberal hellhole that state has become.
I wonder how many on this site will read this BS headline and believe it down to their toes.
The word "historic" usually has a positive connotation, but Pearl Harbor was "a day that will live in infamy." I doubt this kangaroo court decision will really make history unless other courts follow this idiotic opinion.
States may control the manner of electing Electors, but they don't have 14th amendment authority to decide insurrectionist bans.

The Black Gowns BECLOWNED themselves!! What a bunch of MORONS!! DEMONIS MORONS!
I can’t even pick out the three who dissented. They all look like dweebs to me.
And d- mm them, they are making it inevetable.
Perhape those NEW citizens coming in will have someone THEY would want to run for PRESIDENTA... (spit)
Even if Trump 100% did insurrection...he has yet to be convicted of it. Therefore, this is 100% illegal maneuver.
On the primary ballot (in WV, at least), the voter is asked to select any of several delegates to the convention. The delegates are identified by whom they support.
On the general election ballot (in WV, at least), the voter is asked to select a slate of electors. The electors are identified by whom they are pledged to support.
In WV, at least, we don't "vote for President". We vote for delegates or electors.
Your State may vary.
We’re losing it all, and most even on our own side seem content to just watch it all burn down, apparently under the foolish assumption that actually fighting back might cause them to lose their comfortable existence. Well we’re losing that anyway! We’re no longer worthy of the sacrifices that were made, many paid in blood, to provide us with the freedom and prosperity that we have, until recent years at least, enjoyed. What is happening right in front of our faces right this moment is FAR worse than the events that precipitated the Revolutionary War. If we were worthy of our great inheritance, there would be millions of us in every despotic state capital and in D.C, forcing these tyrants to relinquish power or face the consequences. Unfortunately, even the self-proclaimed “patriots” have become corrupted and timid, made so by their attachment to material comforts. I’m sorry to say that we are just not even close to the same caliber of people who fought the most powerful empire on Earth, and then endured endless hardships to settle a continent.
We deserve what we get.
These people really are insane. They have zero perspective or self awareness.
They actuallly found that Trump intended for his speech to lead to violence.
A political speech in which he told people to protest “peacefully”.
Good thing there are no “Democrat judges” /s
Write him in!"
The problem with that, in this situation, is that they would simply toss that ballot as void. If they can do this, they could do that as well. Good way to get a super-majority (D) throughout the entire state of CO.
Now, if we have even a semblance of law and order in this country, the Supreme Court will toss this illegal attempt to keep a sitting president's leading political rival off the ballot and they'll do so in a way so as to prevent any other such attempts.
“...Colorado court rules in hysterical decision”
Fixed.
