The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to ban former President Trump from the state’s primary ballot undermines a “bedrock principle” of American democracy, one of the court’s Democrat-appointed justices wrote in a fiery dissent.
Justices Carlos Samour, Maria Berkenkotter and Chief Justice Brian D. Boatright all dissented, but Samour was particularly critical of the 4-3 ruling. Samour and Boatright were each appointed by Democratic former Gov. John Hickenlooper, while Berkenkotter was appointed by current Gov. Jared Polis, also a Democrat.
“The decision to bar former President Donald J. Trump — by all accounts the current leading Republican presidential candidate (and reportedly the current leading overall presidential candidate) — from Colorado’s presidential primary ballot flies in the face of the due process doctrine,” Samour wrote.

Amnesty Act of 1872 undid the “insurrection” clause of Amendment 14.
Pinging a few FRiends!
Even if they succeed in banning Trump from the 2024 general election, that doesn’t mean that Biden and the Rats will win CO. RFK, Jr. could then win CO in the general election. Once RFK, Jr. shows he can win a state, he will take more votes from Biden and the Rats in other states.
“Due process doctrine”
Well that’s kind of old fashioned; Cheeto Hitler must be stopped /sarc
What the radical left seems to forget is that, if this thing stands, it creates a precident. Then, when the Right regains power, they are totally exposed to the same treatment.
If they can do it to us, we can do it to YOU.
“when the Right regains power...”
You mean IF......the lefts ultimate goal is to never, and I mean NEVER allow that to ever happen again
I really think they’ve gone over the line this time.
Basically, the Colorado SC just gave the US SC the justification to remove Biden from every state ballot for committing the CRIME of aiding and abetting our nation’s greatest enemies—aka—TREASON!
Thx for posting and for the ping! 🎄

I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley do the same immediately - or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country.

You won’t have to because we will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand.

>> Then, when the Right regains power
Which includes the cowardly RINO faction unwilling to do anything that offends the Rats.
The people should file a voter suppression suit against the state. After all they are being told who they can vote for, just like the Ayatollah’s in Iran
Yes, ByeDone doesn’t even need to be charged and convicted.
The Court of Public Opinion has found him guilty so remove him from the ballot.
Makes just as much sense as what these 4 demonrat judges have done.
What a mockery of our judicial system!
One thing for sure: Nikki Haley’s supposed “rise in the polls” is now relegated to backpage news. Trump will dominate the news cycle til after Christmas on this issue alone and then it will be “Nikki who?”
I don’t think the right regains power. I am not sure there has been a “right” for quite a while.
What is does is create precedent for the hard left to use against the left. Then the harder left to use against the hard left. We are on a path that only goes left. Those that are on the left or harder left are going to discover that the “wins” they are celebrating now will be used against them to go further left than they want.
It’s more like Stalinists vs Trotskyites.

The below list is the good little commie stooges that need to be removed by voting against their retention.
Justice Richard L. Gabriel

Justice Monica M. Márquez
Of Course.
But I have a few shreds of optimism left.
