Quote:Colorado's Supreme Court on Tuesday put out a ruling declaring that former President Donald Trump will not be permitted to appear on the state's ballots in the 2024 election.

An advance sheet headnote on the matter states that "President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution," and that since "he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot."

It goes on to note that the court will stay its ruling until Jan. 4, 2024, "subject to any further appellate proceedings."

This marks the the first time a state court has determined that Donald Trump, the leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination, ought to be excluded from state ballots. The basis for this decision is a U.S. constitutional provision preventing individuals who have participated in "insurrection" from holding federal office.

In both Minnesota and Michigan, courts have dismissed comparable lawsuits contesting Trump's inclusion on the presidential ballot. Nevertheless, the matter is still undergoing legal proceedings in several other states.

The Trump team is expected to file an appeal with the Supreme Court.

That's some BS there.

To anyone who thinks this stops with Trump moving forward, you’re wrong. It will be used again if this is allowed to stand. Yet another slippery slope ruling that will destroy the system.

Makes sense.

If their Electoral Votes are removed, then the Elected Officials who represent those votes should not be allowed to serve in the legislative branch.

They want War.

Now THIS is what a "Threat to Democracy" looks like.

Would love to see SCOTUS issue a stay and say Trump is on the ballot for 2024 and the matter will only be settled for later elections. That'd be a hoot.

Easy fix.

1. Don’t tell people to go to the Capitol and fight the counting of the electoral votes —- expect problems when they breach the voting floor and stop it.

2. Don’t tell your VP to use your votes instead of those certified by the state.

3. Don’t tell your VP when he won’t substitute the uncertified votes in place of those certified by the state to simply throw out the certified votes.

Yeah those were all incredibly stupid things to do and I agree wholeheartedly.

The result of that was the certification of the electoral college and Trump still lost.

The Founders put these checks and balances in for a reason. There was zero chance at overturning the election. It’s all made up.

That's fine but he hasn't been convicted of this yet. That's what bothers me

Wasn’t he president at the time? How can one insurrect against himself as head of the government? Biden was neither president nor certified at that moment but presumptive based on projected voting numbers

If Democrats believe he's violated the law, that's all that matters.

Those are all very good and sound reasons for an American citizen to decide for himself or herself not to vote for Donald Trump in 2024.

Those are not good reasons for a state, by judicial fiat, to exclude an non-convict from appearing on the ballot.

If you had an ounce of intellectual integrity, tanq., you’d acknowledge that. Sadly, you do not.

Exactly. All of this is subjective, interpretational and political matters not legal or case study matters. Nor is it hurt feelings matters

This is exactly correct…

It’s very undemocratic to unilaterally disenfranchise millions of people in your state, with the purpose of doing it across the US.
