#1 In other news, Colorado is credited for kicking off the 2024 Civil War.

#2 Never gonna stick. Even the lower judge said the congress or an officer of the government (see speaker of the house and such) must declare the person in a state of insurrection. Suddenly the rubber stamp "Supreme" court of CO says, yeah insurrection. Trial balloon and posturing. Little more.

On the other side I would be happy to kick off the Civil war here.

#3 Legal scholar Jonathan Turley rips Colorado decision to disqualify Trump from presidential ballot: 'This country is a powder keg, and this court is just throwing matches at it'

#4 Show of (ideological piety) trumps consequences.

#5 If it's not thrown out quickly, California, Oregon, and Washington may follow.

#7 This is how stuff gets broken in an unfixable way. Then the people who did the breaking start moaning...

#8 What happens if Trump wins the primary as a write-in candidate?

#9 And all the red states will remove Biden and the demonrats for treason and collusion with China and deliberately aiding and abetting an invasion of the US. And at that point the killing is pretty much going to start.

#10 Even if SCOTUS overturns this decision, it is at the very least harassment. It is costly and distracting for any candidate to appeal this nonsense and it's happening all the time wherever we have liberal justices who believe their ideology is more important than the Constitution. How do you prosecute a judge for insurrection?

#12 How do you prosecute a judge for insurrection? OK. How do you prosecute the judge for harassing candidates for election? Interfering with elections? There must be some way to make these people accountable.

#13 None of this has anything to do with the sovereign State of Colorado.

Say what you will about qualifications for general election, the sovereign State of Colorado has no say about a political party's organizational methods.

#15 From a great summation in CTH today:"...As long as President Trump appeals the decision to the Supreme Court, the appeals court stays their own ruling – essentially indefinitely. The Colorado primary ballots printed, and the primary election will be over, before the Supreme Court puts this on their docket.

In addition to the virtual guarantee the high court will overrule this political nonsense, SCOTUS can make the entire issue moot before them by following their own normal schedule for submissions, arguments, deliberation and opinions delivered by the court.

The Colorado appellate court knows this, that’s why they put this self-stay into their 4-3 ruling. It’s a politically correct way of giving the optics of telling their tribe, ‘hey we’re with you,’ without the ramifications of the political backlash. In other words, psychological lawfare stuff – intended for media consumption."

You mean they have no standing? I would love to hear that about judges. But I'd love it even more if they went to jail.

Yes, but not just that. It is harassment and interference with an election because it distracts the candidate and costs money to appeal. Maybe Trump should counter sue for those damages.

#18 Colorado GOP to have caucus instead of primary if Trump ballot decision stands

#19 If this is not overturned and Republicans do some kind of a boycott, the process will be ripe for down ballot or issue shenanigans unless everyone still votes and just undervotes the presidential race.
