Lawsuit to block Trump from Colorado 2024 ballot survives more legal challenges

It's going to be real hard to win 270 electoral votes when you can't even compete in certain states. Not that he would win 270 in the first place. MAGA is done.

Lawsuit to block Trump from Colorado 2024 ballot survives more legal challenges​

A judge has rejected three more attempts by former President Donald Trump and the Colorado GOP to shut down a lawsuit seeking to block him from the 2024 presidential ballot in the state based on the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban.”

The flurry of rulings late Friday from Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace are a blow to Trump, who faces candidacy challenges in multiple states stemming from his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection. He still has a pending motion to throw out the Colorado lawsuit, but the case now appears on track for an unprecedented trail this month.

A post-Civil War provision of the 14th Amendment says US officials who take an oath to uphold the Constitution are disqualified from future office if they “engaged in insurrection” or have “given aid or comfort” to insurrectionists. But the Constitution does not spell out how to enforce the ban, and it has been applied only twice since the 1800s.


A liberal watchdog group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed the Colorado case on behalf of six Republican and unaffiliated voters. The judge is scheduled to preside over a trial beginning October 30 to decide a series of novel legal questions about how the 14th Amendment could apply to Trump.

In a 24-page ruling, Wallace rejected many of Trump’s arguments that the case was procedurally flawed and should be shut down. She said the key question of whether Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has the power to block Trump from the ballot based on the 14th Amendment “is a pivotal issue and one best reserved for trial.”

Wallace also swatted away arguments from the Colorado GOP that state law gives the party, not election officials, ultimate say on which candidates appear on the ballot.

The MAGA “age” is not over.

Half the country voted to put a lawless
degenerate former president back in the White House because his attribute to MAGA is being an obnoxious ignorant lying asshole

The upcoming MAGA second term will not age well. We will know how bad half way through. Your gloat won’t age well for sure.

Does this mean that the courts of law will be choosing the POTUS rather than the voting people who are citizens? Pass the vomit bag, plz. Thx.

/—-/ Blue states tried kicking Trump off their ballots. The courts stepped in to reverse a pure political hack job.
But, you already knew that.

Actually, I haven't read a paper, watched the news nor listened to radio news since my neighbor fell ill a few weeks ago. Sorry if I'm a few steps away from current goings on for being a hospital visitor for my elderly neighbor whose family forgot about all the good things he's done for them through the years. He got out of the hospital yesterday, so I hope his cold weather pneumonia is no more a threat.

This is the first reading of current events I've done in a long time. I did a lot of praying for our country in my evening vespers. I've forgotten how I was supposed to love our enemies, but I'm trying to both be caring for our nation's well-being and setting aside the frustrations that would tear our nation apart if we aren't more tolerant of each other.

I remember the days when my parents gave congratulations to their friends in the opposition party. I miss that and pray that I can escape all that is just petty stuff and try to respect those whose opinions differ from mine.
