Trump Officially An Insurrectionist

[Lakhota]

Donald Trump’s name will be on the ballot in Colorado in 2024, at least according to the latest ruling handed down by a Colorado court on Friday.

However, Judge Sarah B. Wallace also ruled that there is sufficient evidence the then-president “incited an insurrection,” and that he therefore “participated in an insurrection.”

Nonetheless, the judge determined that the language of the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause did not clearly apply to the office of president, and she was unwilling to rule that he is ineligible to be a candidate for that office.

The order wasn’t exactly what either side wanted, and an appeal is expected from the plaintiffs, a group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

It’s possible that the state Supreme Court, and in turn, the U.S. Supreme Court, could see it the same way. Both may hear the case since an appeal from either Trump or the plaintiffs (depending on the outcome) is a likely prospect.

Ultimately, SCOTUS is likely to have the last word, and their position could set a rule that will apply in every state, as well as a precedent for elected officials going forward. The Washington Post reports:

“Even as she ruled in Trump’s favor, Wallace was unsparing in her description of his behavior before, during and after the attack on the Capitol. She found Trump has a ‘history of courting extremists and endorsing political violence’ and knew his supporters were willing to engage in violence.”

CERTIFIED: Why Trump's "victory" in Colorado may not be what he thinks

Yep, Trump is officially an insurrectionist. Sane people already knew that. What do you think?

Trump is forever officially branded as a rapist and insurrectionist.

Except that it's a legal opinion and worth considerably more than that.

The judge's opinion is worthless?

But your low IQ cult opinion is not?

Welcome to Trumplandia.

Colorado Judge Finds Trump Engaged In Insurrection, But Rejects Constitutional Ballot Challenge​

Horse shit she's violating her oath if she believes he's an insurrectionist and allows him on the ballot. Numbnuts she's knows he's not that's why she can't stop it.

Actually the judge should be disbarred if she allows Trump on the ballot if he is an insurrectionist but she can't make that rule because he's not regardless how much she wanted to do it.

Nope you're blocking the way simp

I wouldn't call it that, even though it's interesting to us political pundits. (Of course I'm talking about the insurrectionist label.)

It was less a ruling by the court in terms of the merits of the case and more along the lines of dicta (a comment, suggestion, or observation) that is not legally binding, but whose logic is explained for other courts to consider.

I think she squarely included the observation with the specific intent that it be part of the court record based on the facts and testimony presented so that IF the main ruling (i.e. the President is not an Officer of the United States) is appealed, and IF the appellate court reverses her primary decision and remands it back to her with direction ("Yes Judge Wallace, the President is an Officer of the United States) she would be able to make an immediate ruling.

Based on:

• Her initial observation that FPOTUS#45 engaged in insurrection,
• Appellate direction that the Office of the President is an Officer of the United States.

She could revise the ruling in support of the 14th Amendment, Section 3 claim that FPOTUS#45 can be kept off the Colorado ballot.
