Since when have liberals worried about permits?
At the capitol on 1/6? Since Trump.... and his blessed by him, thuggery.
Courts don’t have the authority to make state election laws. Only a legislature can do that.
It is State Law in Colorado, that a disqualified candidate can Not be put on the ballot.
This is one of the reasons people felt this Colorado case had a better chance of sticking.
Because of this law, Six Coloradans, 4 Republicans and 2 independents had "cause and merit" in their suit against the State, to have Trump taken off the ballot because of the 1/6 insurrection and his aid to the enemy, abetting and inciting the insurrection at the capitol attack, to stop the constitutional certification of the newly elected President, in a joint session of Congress on 1/6 dictated by the constitution.
This was a Civil law suit brought in a Civil court.
A non profit legal eagle law team represented the 6 in court, and Donald Trump's law team represented Trump...
Both legal teams made their arguments, Trump's civil due process in court. His law team argued everything under the sun, except the innocence of insurrection for some strange reason? Like he was immune, or he was doing his presidential duty and crud like that.... The civil court ruled that he was responsible for the 1/6 insurrection through incitement, it was appealed to a higher court...twice I believe... before the final appeal to the Colorado Supreme court to review the lower than their, court decisions.
The Colorado supreme court, did the review, heard from both law teams... Trump's and the 6, and ruled he was a participant in the 1/6 insurrection to illegally stop the certification of our newly elected president, an attempted self-coup, to illegally keep himself in power.
In civil court, a person is not found guilty, like in a criminal court...they are found responsible.
A civil court only needs a preponderance of EVIDENCE to find a person responsible.
Only in a criminal court, where their ass can end up behind bars, the level to convict has to meet a much higher level.... Beyond a reasonable doubt.
As mentioned by others, O.J. was found Not Guilty in his Criminal Trial.
BUT in the civil suit in the Civil Court, O.J. was held Responsible for the Ron Goldman and his wife's death, and owed a court determined amount of money to their families.
