Legal Opinion not Political Argument: Read the Colorado Supreme Court’s Decision Disqualifying Trump From the Ballot

[MaryL]

The Colorado supreme court overstepped for obvious political reasons. This is grounds for dismissal...that is if our politically/judicial system is still fair and unbiased. That seems dicey about now,

 

[MaryL]

Hey, mary quite contrary ... the FBI does not interpret law.

They do investigate it. And guess what? Democrats CAN dictate facts an legal opinions for some undefinable reason?

 

[excalibur]

The state court has addressed that argument.

Section 3 does not apply to Trump.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector
of President and Vice President.

(Doesn't mention President).

or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States ...​

(Trump never took an oath as an officer or as a member of Congress - as SCOTUS said, the President is not an officer).

 

[MarathonMike]

The US Justice System is polluted with partisan Democrat Judges at all levels including the four hacks who twisted their favorite 14th amendment into a pretzel to justify another absurd decision. It will certainly be reversed, but of course the court cases will just keep on coming one after the other. This is what the Marxocrats have turned our election process into, NONSTOP LAW-FARE.

 

[theHawk]

read the whole ruling. your bs is addressed

You can’t refute the point brought up by excalibur, you’re a dumb hack who hates the republic.


Only communists would defend this ruling.

Read the Colorado Supreme Court’s Decision Disqualifying Trump From the Ballot

Colorado’s top court ruled on Tuesday that former President Donald J. Trump is disqualified from holding office again because he engaged in insurrection leading up to the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol. Here is the full ruling.

www.nytimes.com

https://www.courts.state.co.us/userfiles/file/Court_Probation/Supreme_Court/Opinions/2023/23SA300.pdf

"The decision is certain to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it will be up to the justices to decide whether to take the case. Scholars have said only the nation’s high court can settle for all states whether the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol constituted an insurrection and whether Trump is banned from running."

Order Affirmed in Part and Reversed in Part
en banc
December 19, 2023

PER CURIAM.1
¶1 More than three months ago, a group of Colorado electors eligible to vote in
the Republican presidential primary—both registered Republican and unaffiliated
voters (“the Electors”)—filed a lengthy petition in the District Court for the City
and County of Denver (“Denver District Court” or “the district court”), asking the
court to rule that former President Donald J. Trump (“President Trump”) may not
appear on the Colorado Republican presidential primary ballot.

¶2 Invoking provisions of Colorado’s Uniform Election Code of 1992,
§§ 1-1-101 to 1-13-804, C.R.S. (2023) (the “Election Code”), the Electors requested
that the district court prohibit Jena Griswold, in her official capacity as Colorado’s
Secretary of State (“the Secretary”), from placing President Trump’s name on the
presidential primary ballot. They claimed that Section Three of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (“Section Three”) disqualified President
Trump from seeking the presidency. More specifically, they asserted that he was
ineligible under Section Three because he engaged in insurrection on January 6,
2021, after swearing an oath as President to support the U.S. Constitution.

No need to call in any calligraphers to read the writing on the wall.

So Trump claims.

read the decision, stop regurgitating political arguments..

The decision is bullshit. Their legal "arguments" are farcical.

Just from your snippet. There never was a legal finding that Trump engaged in insurrection. He never too the precise oath to support the constitution.

This was a close decision released per curiam. No judge was willing to be named as an author.

[EvilCat Breath]

While I cannot find the written dissent, the opinion of the dissenting justices was that Trump never had a fair trial to begin with. Additionally, Colorado is the only state with this provision which would result in election chaos.

Trump hasnt been charged with insurrection much less found guilty of it ... the vile, dishonest , baby killing, marxist , homosexual, perverts on the left are engaged in election interference again !

 

[wamose]

The FBI concluded there was no insurrection. I think the Colorado supreme court is aware of that. Secondly, states cannot remove a presidential candidate, I am sure the Colorado supreme court is aware of that also. But I am blown away at the level of incongruency of this situation, But here we are. Democrats do this and get away with it.

Democrats were destined to make this stand in one of their states that are known for being radically brain dead. Colorado, NM and Minnesota were all prime candidates. Colorado won and our country lost. We need to get back to representative government and away from the progressive manipulation and fraud that allowed Marxism to thrive in these states. MAGA

The dissenting judges opined that the entire trial was unfair. Remarks that will fall heavily under Supreme Court consideration.

Colorado cannot keep Trump from running for president or being elected president.
