Former Rep. Justin Amash (L-MI), who was not a supporter of Trump when he was in office, said that āopinion of the Colorado Supreme Court is shameful and runs completely counter to our constitutional system.ā
āDonald 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,ā he said. āWhatever you believe about whether Donald Trump engaged in insurrection has no bearing on whether heās 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.ā
āThis isnāt accountability; itās an assault on due process of law,ā he concluded. āIt undermines our electoral system and threatens every federal candidate for office.ā
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded: āEvery American should be troubled by the Colorado Supreme Courtās decision to remove President Trump from the ballot.ā
āThis ruling is garbage,ā said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). āThis WILL be appealed to the Supreme Court & the Supreme Court WILL reverse it.ā
Cruz added, āTo every Dem & media outlet saying āsave Democracy,ā this is a test: Will you denounce these partisan judges trying to PREVENT THE VOTERS from choosing the next President?ā
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) responded: āOne thing is clear: this will help Donald Trump. Do these Colorado clowns in black robes not realize that?ā
āThe Colorado Resistance judges want to Save Democracy by blocking an election,ā said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). āThese disgraceful hacks should be condemned by every AmericanāRepublican and Democrat. The Supreme Court should immediately strike down this unAmerican stunt.ā
