I see lots of vapid claims and no arguments.Former Rep. Justin Amash (L-MI), who was not a supporter of Trump when he was in office, said that “opinion of the Colorado Supreme Court is shameful and runs completely counter to our constitutional system.”
“Donald Trump was not removed from office by Congress for engaging in insurrection. Donald Trump has not been criminally convicted in a court of law of engaging in insurrection,” he said. “Whatever you believe about whether Donald Trump engaged in insurrection has no bearing on whether he’s eligible to run for president. No legislative, executive, or judicial body of a state should engage in extraconstitutional decision-making to disqualify a federal candidate from the ballot.”
“This isn’t accountability; it’s an assault on due process of law,” he concluded. “It undermines our electoral system and threatens every federal candidate for office.”
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded: “Every American should be troubled by the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove President Trump from the ballot.”
“This ruling is garbage,” said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). “This WILL be appealed to the Supreme Court & the Supreme Court WILL reverse it.”
Cruz added, “To every Dem & media outlet saying ‘save Democracy,’ this is a test: Will you denounce these partisan judges trying to PREVENT THE VOTERS from choosing the next President?”
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) responded: “One thing is clear: this will help Donald Trump. Do these Colorado clowns in black robes not realize that?”
“The Colorado Resistance judges want to Save Democracy by blocking an election,” said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). “These disgraceful hacks should be condemned by every American—Republican and Democrat. The Supreme Court should immediately strike down this unAmerican stunt.”
