Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) said Saturday on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” that she agreed with the Colorado Supreme Court decision to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot.
Dingell said, “We’re in such a time of stress test of our Constitution. This ruling is a part of that. That stress test to our democracy.”
She continued, “I have not gone through the entire opinion. I will say, I believe the Colorado opinion is right. It holds two things. It affirms with the lower court said, which is that Donald Trump acted in an insurrection. He participated, he supported in an insurrection. That is now true in both courts in Colorado and certainly we showed that case when we prosecuted in the second impeachment of Donald Trump. Following January 6th. He participated in an insurrection.”

Keep repeating the lie…,
“a stress test to our democracy.”
Nothing says “democracy” like keeping your opponent off the ballot.
DingBat Dingel needs to read Article 5 of the 14th Amendment.
Debbie turned into a flakey, mascaraed guest on Fox, so now shes going over to flakey MSNBC.
I’m not an attorney, so may not understand certain things.
But it occurs to me, that they are disqualifying Trump for an alleged criminal offense for which he has not been charged, or ever convicted, in any legal proceeding.
I’ve heard some commentators say they expect the US Supreme Court to overrule the Colorado Supreme Court, on that very basis.
And since John Roberts like to rule on strict narrow legal issues, the Court would likely overrule the Colorado Supreme Court, put Trump back on the ballot, but not rule on the issue of whether he was involved in an insurrection.
Dingel-ling.
Citizens of CO should be terrified that their justice system is filled with communist political operatives. They can expected to be persecuted for their political beliefs. Justice is dead.

WHAT “insurrection”? Far as may be determined, the US government was NEVER threatened, and the persons who entered the Capitol building were NOT armed. Some mischief happened, but all in all, the crowd was well contained, and even shown around by the Capitol police escorts.
Donald J. Trump has never been charged, tried, found guilty or sentenced in any way, shape, form, or manner, with insurrection. No matter WHAT the fake “January 6th” rump committee may claim.
Debbie Dingell is Dingy. The Dingell dynasty on that seat needs to come to an end.
In 18 U.S. Code Chapter 102 - RIOTS, specifically 18 U.S. Code § 2102 - Definitions, is this:
(b) As used in this chapter, the term “to incite a riot”, or “to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot”, includes, but is not limited to, urging or instigating other persons to riot, but shall not be deemed to mean the mere oral or written (1) advocacy of ideas or (2) expression of belief, not involving advocacy of any act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.President Trump spoke of his belief that he won the election, and then asked the attendees to peacefully walk to the Capitol to show the lawmakers their support for President Trump. That meets the exception to the "to incite a riot" definition.
The actual rioters who broke in the Capitol must defend their own actions, but US Code says that President Trump's actions did not incite these people to act.

The Dingell berry is wrong, as usual...
Oh boy the Twits are out in force today , the democrats think if they tell a lie enough times people will believe it
Breitbart continues to be the second-hand reporters on a cable network nobody watches.
Create the “crime” with agents provocateurs.
Punish your enemies for the “crime”.
This scam was old even during the days of the Roman Empire.
This guy and his buddies have been acting in intersection and Treason against the united states for years. And they have almost succeeded in destroying it.
His definition of Democracy sounds exactly like a dictatorship.
Dingell is just another hack, she got in when her husband who was a rat rep since the civil war got too old. Many of the clueless idiots in her district didn’t even know they were voting for a different Dingell.
