The Supreme Court is set to issue a ruling on Trump’s ballot eligibility after he challenged a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to bar him from the 2024 primary ballot. In December the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Trump from the 2024 ballot. All 7 Colorado Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democrats – 3 of the justices dissented to the ruling. The legal theories are based on Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office. Trump has not been...

The Supreme Court will decide whether former President Donald Trump can be kept off state presidential ballots after the Colorado Supreme Court found he had violated the Constitution’s so-called “Insurrection Clause.” In a brief order Friday evening, the high court announced it will hear arguments Feb. 8 in the 77-year-old’s challenge to the Centennial State ruling, which temporarily removed from the state’s March 5 Republican primary ballot. With voters already casting ballots in primaries and caucuses across the country by the time the case is heard, a decision is likely to follow quickly. The Colorado decision, handed down Dec. 19,...

The Supreme Court will likely face difficult legal maneuvering if its justices wish to return Donald Trump to the ballot in Colorado, a legal analyst argued, given the "ironclad" originalist argument at the heart of the ruling. Trump, the former president who is currently the leading candidate for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, was ruled ineligible to appear on ballots in Colorado last week following a ruling from the state's Supreme Court. The justices ruled in favor of petitioners who argued that Trump's actions around the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol disqualified him from holding elected office,...

Who got to Joe Scarborough?/The question arises in light of Scarborough's stunning flip-flop over the Colorado Supreme Court decision kicking Donald Trump off the ballot. Yesterday, we caught Scarborough expressing surprising skepticism over the court's ruling. Scarborough dubiously asked whether the decision should be made by "people on cable news," or by state judges "randomly" deciding. Scarborough suggested that a prerequisite to barring Trump should be a conviction for insurrection in a D.C. court. What a difference a day makes! Twenty-four hours later, there was Scarborough this morning, praising the Colorado decision to the heavens as "the most pro-democratic thing...

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. pic.twitter.com/qbpNf9L3ln— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) December 20, 2023

Following news that the trial to remove Donald Trump from the ballot in Colorado before the 2024 presidential election has begun Monday, Jack Posobiec called out Trump’s fellow Republican primary candidates for their silence over the issue on Human Events Daily. “It's begun,” he stated. “They are attempting … to strip President Trump from his right to run for president. “And I have a question,” he continued. “Why hasn’t Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley or any of these people spoken out against the effort to take Donald Trump off the ballot? Do they actually stand up for their beliefs? Do...
