Election Interference: Here are the Four Colorado Justices Who Voted to Exclude Donald Trump from the 2024 Ballot

Does not apply to the office of President, as that office is clearly not included. And that's just one reason why it doesn't apply.

Who says?

 

[Synthaholic]

Doesn't apply to the office of President, as that isn't included in Section 3. Just one of several reasons it doesn't apply to Trump.

It doesn't mention the offices of governor or senator, either. You have no argument.

 

[Synthaholic]

I'm sure that's being worked on.

Why? To what end?

Key takeaways from Colorado's historic ruling against Trump​

 

[westwall]

Why do you think it will go down?

Because it is clearly unconstitutional.

Duh....

Trump is a traitor to this country, he is getting off cheap

As he should. Having White privilege is an awesome gift from God. I absolutely love my White privilege just as Trump does. The benefits are wonderful.

 

[Synthaholic]

Great precedent. Convicted without any trial.

These judges should all be impeached.

What a drama queen.

Denying him ballot access is not "convicted". Trump is not owed anything, and him running is totally voluntary and something he wants, not something he must do.

 

[Synthaholic]

Because it is clearly unconstitutional.

Duh....

 

[Lakhota]

No they didn't.

"The 14th Amendment was part of the “Reconstruction Amendments” that were ratified following the Civil War. It was passed to prohibit former Confederate military and political leaders from holding high federal or state office. These men had clearly taken part in a rebellion against the United States: the Civil War. That makes it all the more absurd that a left-wing group in Colorado is asking a federal court to disqualify the 45th President on the same grounds, equating his speech to rebellion against the United States.

And there’s another legal problem: Trump is not a former “officer of the United States,” as that term is used in the Constitution, meaning Section 3 does not apply. As the Supreme Court explained in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010), an “officer of the United States” is someone appointed by the President to aid him in his duties under Article II, Section 2. The term does not apply to elected officials, and certainly not to the President himself. “

According To retired Judge Michael Luttig you are full of shit. He was just on MSNBC with Stephanie Ruhle. He totally agrees with the Colorado judges and also says SCOTUS should rule the same.

Anyone who goes on MSNBC is a failure. Luttig has no idea what he's talking about.

The last time Democrats did this was when the Democrat Southern states removed Lincoln from the state ballots in the 1860 election. The Civil War started the next year.

Some really good information...

Takeaways from Colorado’s historic ruling that Trump is ineligible for office based on 14th Amendment’s ‘insurrectionist ban’​

 

[Hutch Starskey]

200 pages can't paper over the fact that he hasn't even been charged with insurrection, let alone convicted.

Punish first, then let the law shake it all out, right uncle Josef?

He’s been adjudicated as having engaged in insurrection.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Doesn't apply to the office of President, as that isn't included in Section 3. Just one of several reasons it doesn't apply to Trump.

Why would it apply to every officer who has sworn an oath except the Office of the President?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

He [Trump] is not an officer.

There is a recent Supreme Court opinion discussing the scope of the Constitution's "Officers of the United States"-language. In Free Enter. Fund v. Pub. Co. Accounting Oversight Bd. (2010), Chief Justice Roberts observed that "[t]he people do not vote for the 'Officers of the United States.'"​

​

Rather, "officers of the United States" are appointed exclusively pursuant to Article II, Section 2 procedures. It follows that the President, who is an elected official, is not an "officer of the United States."​

“Officer” simply means one holding an elected office.

Once again the leftards side with the Neo-Cons

fucking hilarious

 

[westwall]

How about he would have to be convicted of insurrection, not just accused.

You know, there's this thing called the law, and due process.

Something you clods love to ignore.

Because you ARE fascists.

Once again the Dem Nazi's have shown their true colors. They FEAR allowing the American people to chose their president and are running amok trying to RIG it.

Call me when Dems give two shits about the Constitution and the law. They are fine with vigilante justice in their news media court.

This isn't vigilantism, it is outright election interference.
