In a stunning and unprecedented decision, the Colorado Supreme Court removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot, ruling that he isn’t an eligible presidential candidate because of the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban.”
The ruling was 4-3.
The ruling will be placed on hold pending appeal until January 4, pending a certain appeal to the US Supreme Court, which could settle the matter for the nation

I wish that the Supreme Court had the power to remove idiot soon to be overturned judges from the bench. THis would solve the issues of politically motivated rulings very quickly. Bye bye 4 judges in Colorado, bye to idiot NYC judge Engoron in New York City, good bye to Judge Chutkin in Atlanta. I would also love to see them smack down the Judge Beryl Howell in Washington DC.

I’d bet that the US Supreme Court rules that this is a state’s right case and refuses to intervene for a primary.

So on a whim, you can call anyone an insurrectionist, and remove that person from the ballot?

What ever happened to due process, being considered innocent until proven guilty? I guess in the Socialist Republic of Colorado the laws of the United States don't apply. This is what happens when you let too many Californians in to infect your state.

Four unelected Democrat judges said that the people of Colorado are prohibited from voting for Donald Trump in the General Election if Trump wins the Republican Primary. Is that a Democratic ruling, or a partisan Democrat Party ruling?

#6, if the U.S. Supreme Court were to issue such a ruling there would be nothing to keep the Republican states from keeping Democrat Presidential Candidates off their ballots.

FTA - "All seven justices on the Colorado Supreme Court were appointed by Democratic governors. Six of the seven subsequently won statewide retention elections to stay on the bench. The seventh was only appointed in 2021 and hasn’t yet faced voters."
Any questions?

They failed to do it legislatively, so a few Black Robed Judiciarchs do it by decree, like the tyrants that they wish they were.
A pox on them all.

I guess the leftist SC/ of CO doesn't care that he was never accused nor convicted of said crime. Of course they don't.

The story is a total lie, like all CN. 'news'.
The court stayed it's own ruling.
