Trump Officially An Insurrectionist

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


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:

Yep, Trump is officially an insurrectionist. Sane people already knew that. What do you think?
When it goes to the Appeals court, even the FBI said it wasnt an insurrection. Maybe it is time that some of these judges be barred from law.

That's why she didn't rule it as an insurrection she did it for political points.

YAWN.

Her factual decision is baseless. And her words don’t matter, anyway.

A remarkably vapid OP from Chief Shitting Bull. Not a surprise.
 
"Participated in insurrection" = insurrectionist, I say.

I agree, but we are talking about the ruling.

There was a two tier question before the court, both had to be true for the Judge to rule.
  1. Trump was an active part of the insurrection, AND
  2. Trump could be removed under A14S3.
She found that he was an insurrectionist as part of the fact finding that needed to happen to get to the second question. She punted on the second question because who can honestly say that the Office of the President ISN'T and Officer of the United States. That doesn't make sense.

** IF ** she had found that FPOTUS#45 had not participated in the insurrection, that was it. That ended the ease. She would have never had to get to the second question. By finding that he participated in the insurrection, then that opens the door to examine the second question.

(And yes I disagree with her premise as it related to the 2nd question, the President is in fact an Officer of the United States.)

Are you calling the FBI, "Liars"?

Exclusive: FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated - sources
Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.
