A state court deciding based on its own opinion that a candidate for president will not be on the ballot is not going to hold up...a state SC cannot remove a choice from the voters on a candidate that was never convicted of the crime the state SC claims he is guilty of... Come on people....we do not want courts stepping over the bounds like we have seen lately. There is nothing to stop the Texas SC from making a similar ruling on Biden based on his son's ties to corruption and China and Ukraine if they wanted to...
What is absolutely wild about this opinion from the Colorado Supreme Court is that it contains no limiting principle. Republicans should immediately file suit in Colorado to remove Biden from the ballot, citing his failure to secure the border and allowing an invasion falls within the Court’s broad definition of “engaging in insurrection.” Challenge this nonsense.
We’ll see. There are two questions here 1. Whether a state finding of insurrection is valid to the 14th amendment and 2. Whether or not federal office prohibition under the 14th amendment is the sole responsibility of the federal Congress.
They should immediately, appeal it to the US Supreme Court. The ultra liberal left up to their dirty tricks, relying on an US courts packed with the most extreme liberal judges with agendas instead, of just interpreting the laws which is their job. If this is allowed to stand, the US as a country is finished. There are no 2nd or 3rd chances if this is allowed to stand. The fascism that GWB likes to talk about, this is it unless, the US Supreme Court does its job and slaps this down on appeal.
Actually if you go read the opinion of the Colorado Supreme Court your assertions above about limiting principle are not correct.
