The unelected justices of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the people of Colorado cannot vote for former President Donald Trump on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election.
According to CBS News, "Lawsuits challenging Trump's candidacy have been filed in more than 25 states ahead of the 2024 election." The case in Colorado, instigated by a far-left organization, argued that Mr. Trump should be barred from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment over allegations of insurrection.
Despite a lower court's ruling that noted while Trump engaged in alleged "Insurrection" by inciting the Capitol event, the Amendment does not apply to presidential candidates specifically; the Supreme Court's majority saw things differently.
Democrat judge Sarah Wallace, who oversaw the lawsuit to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election ballot, rejected the challenge last month.
Earlier this month, the legal challenge to block Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot in Colorado, citing the 14th Amendment, headed to the state's supreme court.
It should be noted that Trump has not been charged with engaging in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.
Trump told his supporters to be PEACEFUL! On Tuesday, four justices of the Colorado Supreme Court cast their votes in favor of excluding former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 presidential ballot.
Justice Monica M. Márquez Justice Melissa Hart Justice William W. Hood, III Justice Richard L. Gabriel The three justices of the Colorado Supreme Court who opposed the majority decision to exclude Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot presented a range of reasons for their dissent.
Chief Justice Brian Boatright wrote in his dissent that he believes Colorado election law "Was not enacted to decide whether a candidate engaged in insurrection," and said he would have dismissed the challenge to Trump's eligibility.
Justice Maria E. Berkenkotter wrote in her dissent that she didn't think Colorado state courts had the authority to decide whether a presidential candidate can be disqualified under the "Insurrectionist ban." She said the majority "Construes the court's authority too broadly," and that the lower court erred when it decided not to grant Trump's request to toss the case out.
"Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat-appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group's scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump's name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice. We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits."
