As a Colorado citizen, I am of the opinion that the 4 justices that ruled to remove Trump from the ballot should face some kind of consequences for their actions. Their abandoning the legal principle of “innocent until proven guilty” in favor of political expediency shows that they are unfit for office.

However, I am not aware of any legal means to remove them from office. Article 13 of the state constitution structures the impeachment process nearly identical to the national process. Indictment by the House (Democrat control) and conviction by the Senate (Democrat control).

I am of the opinion that the “best” the GOP can do now is political theater by filing a motion of impeachment in the House.

And the DemoMarxists and RINOs like Lez Cheney continue to say Trump will bring tyranny to the USA. Do these idiots ever look at the big picturem what’s going around them, or can they only see through the eye of a needle and continue to make fools of themselves??

Oh I know. To me, RINOs are worse than Dems.

That’s why I didn’t say “Re[publicans”.

Silly, silly, silly.

This move is to assure the Right NEVER REGAINS POWER!

When did “The Right” ever have power?

I think Colorado rejects write-in candidates that it deems unqualified for office:

So this court ruling disenfranchises roughly half the population of Colorado, for democracy’s sake.

I agree. The creep will be to COMMUNISM which is the end product of Socialism.

In any case, it does create a precedent, which can be used by whoever is in power.

Yep.

But even some demoncrats are appalled by this. This might be a wedge.

“I don’t think the right regains power. I am not sure there has been a “right” for quite a while.”

I disagree. There indeed is a ‘right side’ in America still. It’s just that most of the reps we’ve elected are no longer representing us. They have caved to threats, bribes and corruption.

But make no mistake... there is a force or number of patriots behind the scenes that opposes the Marxist takeover. And many more would join that force if they ever managed to extract their heads from their blissfully ignorant rear ends .... probably only after the battle finally goes ‘hot’.

As for the sheep that go along with everything the Marxists are doing just to get along... they will, per usual, sit back leisurely while ‘others’ fight for their freedom.

Regardless of what happens with trump and the colorado supreme court, this entire situation shows how far the democrats will go to get what they want. They will destroy this country to maintain power.
So when the republicans inevitably say “well we can’t do that, because it will tear the country apart”, SCREW THAT. We have one side who is completely willing to tear this country apart for whatever they want. There is no not doing something “for the good of the country anymore”. THE GLOVES HAVE TO COME OFF!!! The left needs to be defeated.

Thank you for 1st hand CO information about getting rid of these partisan judges.

So, you don’t vote to retain your SC Justices in a General Election?

Anyone want to bet they didn’t think it would get a majority?

Harris Faulkner just had Leo Terrell on, and he nailed the problem the Colorado SC has with their ruling: a person can NOT legally be punished for a crime for which they have not been convicted!

You’re making assumptions that we will regain power. Even if we do the feckless rhinos will cower at the thought. “we’re better than this” and all the other typical BS they sling when they can’t just openly admit they have no balls to fight.
