This is what citizens get for making weed legal. Insanity even at the state supreme court level.

I hope they learn how stupid they look some day.

Especially because the FBI caused J6, not Trump.

One of the judges:

Justice Márquez serves as a liaison justice to the Office of Attorney Regulation and its related committees, and as chair of the Water Court Rules Committee. She is a member of the Bench Dream Team, a group of judges dedicated to diversity and inclusion in Colorado’s judicial system. She also serves as chair of the Colorado Supreme Court’s Standing Committee on Judicial Well-Being and is leading the Colorado Judicial Department’s Workplace Culture Initiative. Justice Márquez and several law clerks helped coach La Academia’s mock trial team from 2014 until 2018, when the alternative high school closed its doors. She regularly mentors students and aspiring young lawyers, including a first-generation Latina student at DU with Law School Yes We Can.

For her career of service, Justice Márquez has been recognized with the Colorado GLBT Bar Association’s 2009 Outstanding GLBT Attorney Award, Davis Graham & Stubbs, LLP’s 2009 Richard Marden Davis Award, the Yale Latino Law Student Association’s 2011 Public Service Award, the Latinas First Foundation’s 2014 Trailblazer Award, the Hispanic National Bar Foundation’s 2017 Judicial Leadership Award, the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Colorado’s 2019 Minoru Yasui Community Service Award, the Center for Legal Inclusiveness’s 2023 Wiley Y. Daniel Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Colorado Women’s Bar Association Foundation’s 2023 Raising the Bar Award.

When not working or volunteering, Justice Márquez enjoys hiking with her spouse and partner of 25 years, Sheila Barthel, and playing endless games of fetch with their boisterous yellow lab, Tegan.

Trump did not commit insurrection!

Mr. Trump has not been charged or convicted of insurrection. What is the Colorado Supreme Court’s justification for excluding an eligible candidate? At the moment I don’t think I have the stomach to read through the opinion.

Then Colorado has no say in the 2024 Presidential election.

If Colorado can keep Trump off the ballot then their electoral votes will NOT COUNT which is a good thing since they would have probably go for Sleepy Joe or whoever they replace him with.

Let’s assume Trump wins the nomination. The Republicans will also nominate and candidate to VP. The VP candidate has done nothing to be disqualified. Will the VP candidate appear on the Colo ballot, or is he/she also banned?

“Virtue signaling by the Colorado Supreme Court justices.”

I get that but in actuality its something far worse. This is purely political warfare.

I support DeSantis. But that is not relevant in this thread. The move by Colorado is simply wrong!

Natural born citizen. Trump qualifies.

A resident in the US for 14 years. Trump qualifies.

35 years of age or older. Trump qualifies.

And the 14th amendment disqualifies anyone "engaged in insurrection or rebellion". Trump did not engage in insurrection or rebellion, nor did he give aid or comfort to the enemies of the US.

Democrats will rue the day the pursued this course of action and cheer it.

Nonsense. Their electoral votes will absolutely be counted. You may not like it. I certainly don't. But that doesn't matter in the slightest.

“Was he convicted of said insurrection?”

*************

No, just presumed to be guilty. Due legal process doesn’t matter to the Left.
