This news puts a smile on my face. But it doesn't change anything. This was always going to SCOTUS, no matter how the Colorado State Supreme Court ruled.

This is going to the supreme court and will be a precedent in America's history, regardless of what the idiots woke will say, we do have a supreme court that is the highest in the land.

Nothing the woke idiots can do about it.

Whatever they will decide it will be precedent.

The Colorado Secretary of State will have to follow guidance/rules issued by the Supreme Court of the United States...

The Colorado Republican Party on Wednesday appealed that state's Supreme Court decision that found former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the presidency, the potential first step to a showdown at the nation's highest court over the meaning of a 155-year-old constitutional provision that bans from office those who "engaged in insurrection."

" Trump Ballot Ban Appealed to US Supreme Court by Colorado Republican Party "


DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Republican Party on Wednesday appealed that state’s supreme court decision that found former President Donald Trump is ineligible for the presidency, the potential first step to a showdown at the nation’s highest court over the meaning of a 155-year-old constitutional provision that bans from office those who “engaged in insurrection.”

" They added: “Unless the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision is overturned, any voter will have the power to sue to disqualify any political candidate, in Colorado or in any other jurisdiction that follows its lead. This will not only distort the 2024 presidential election but will also mire courts henceforth in political controversies over nebulous accusations of insurrection.”

Trump is back on the Colorado primary ballot:

The Colorado secretary of state will include former President Donald Trump on the 2024 Colorado primary ballot after Republicans filed an appeal to the Supreme Court.

On Wednesday, the Colorado GOP filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court after the state Supreme Court's decision to remove Trump from the primary ballot.

Following the appeal, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that she will include Trump on the primary ballot on the Jan. 5 certification deadline, unless the U.S. Supreme Court affirms the lower court's ruling or declines to take up the case.

The Colorado case was NOT a criminal case. It was a civil suit. The CO. court's decision is still a result of "due process".

Remember that time when OJ Simpson lost his civil case, even though he was found Not Guilty in criminal court? I don't remember his lawyers whining about due process.

The Colorado court asserted that Trump had violated a federal law.
They did so without Trump ever even being charged with the crime they cited, much less having gone through any due process.

Liberal Media thought a Trump supporter tried to kill Colorado Supreme Court Judges last night.

As usual, their (evil) hopes were soon dashed.

To be fair, Donald Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives for Incitement of Insurrection.

The House of Representatives of the 117th U.S. Congress adopted one article of impeachment against Trump of "incitement of insurrection", stating that he had incited the January 6 attack of the U.S. Capitol.

Oh boy, you really showed them with this! No way Trump can win now!

ROFL, militant stupidity. It's a new fad we are seeing on the left stream media. :Yawn:

. . . . and found not guilty by The U.S. Senate. To be fair. 😀

a reply to: Sookiechacha

From your source:

At the trial, 57 senators voted "guilty", which was less than the two-thirds majority needed (67) to convict Trump, and 43 senators voted "not guilty", resulting in Trump being acquitted of the charges on February 13, 2021

Trump was not convicted, but he is forever impeached. Nothing can take that away, even if the House of Representative votes to expunge both of Trump's impeachments. It's history.

The Maine Secretary of State stated that she based her decision that Trump DID engage in insurrection on the Jan 6th Committee's findings, which did result in Trump's 2nd impeachment.

So, there's that too.

How many other state officials, judges and politicians will come to the same conclusion?

Lawsuits seeking to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot are currently pending in 14 states, according to data compiled by Lawfare: Arizona, Alaska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Yes, tally up with the ever growing number of other allegations that produced absolutely nothing of substance. That's what an impeachment is...an allegation.

The Maine Secretary of State stated that she based her decision that Trump DID engage in insurrection on the Jan 6th Committee's findings, which did result in Trump's 2nd impeachment.

...of which he was acquitted. You're making the double jeopardy argument for Trump here as is the unelected bureaucrat from Maine.

Careful what you wish for......

I'm not making anything, except a point to refute the idea that this "insurrection" charge is something leftists just recently pulled out of the nether regions. Trump was first accused of "inciting an insurrection by Congress" before he even left the Oval Office. Which is the point that the Maine Secretary of State made in her, what?, 137 page opinion.

It quite literally is. I mean unless you can show an insurrection conviction.....

Still all hearsay and no due process. You are binging again to support lies. 😁

No, LOL, it isn't.

What is the lie, exactly, you are insinuating that I'm repeating, or being led around by?

a reply to: Sookiechacha

That there was an insurrection let alone the removal of an American citizens civil liberties over one.


What you are being lead around your nose by is the same tripe it always has.


The "get Trump" de jour.

So, if someone decided to put you on the sexual predators list because at one time someone said you did something you would be ok with that?

a reply to: WingDingLuey

Still all hearsay and no due process.

So, Trump NOT being convicted by the Senate was NOT due process?

You should remember, Trump's defense in the Senate was that he wasn't president anymore, so he couldn't be impeached.

Claim: A Senate trial is unconstitutional
The Senate has voted on this issue and decided that the trial of a former president is constitutional - but Mr Trump's lawyers argue that because he is no longer the president, a trial in Senate isn't permitted.

You are binging again to support lies.

I don't do AI, but I do Google.

What lies? Are you saying Trump wasn't impeached by The House? The Maine SOS didn't cite the Jan 6th Committee's evidence? What lies?

a reply to: Sookiechacha

I don't do AI, but I do Google.

This is a distinction without a difference.


Just a note.
