A Colorado judge has rejected an attempt to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot based on the claim that he is constitutionally barred from office because of the January 6 insurrection.
The provision explicitly bans insurrectionists from serving as US senators, representatives, and even presidential electors – but it does not say presidents. It says it covers “any office, civil or military, under the United States,” and Wallace ruled that this does not include the office of the presidency.
None of that means we shouldn’t talk about the ruling
If he wins, there’s going to be insane backlash, if he loses (while on ballots), there’s going to be insane backlash. After Jan 6, who knows what else they’ll try?
There is a lot of stupid in this thread, including yours. Trump is the greatest domestic threat to the United States. Attempting to overthrow a fair election and pushing FUD to undermine trust in the system are seriously destructive. Best case scenario is we’re fixing this shit for decades.
Trump didn’t succeed. But he’s opened the gates for others to try. Caesar wasn’t the first to march on Rome.
He referred to his opponents as vermin, and his campaign manager doubled down. So yes, there’s some fear. The man mimics Hitler’s phrasing and attempted a coup.
Your last statement is an ad hominem fallacy, not great for actual debates. Are you suggesting that it’s cowardice to remove him from ballots? What’s the brave tactic in this situation? Let the man attempt another coup using his bigoted dog whistles?
REally?
Judge Wallace you are a complete fucking buffoon.
Either he did or did not engage in the insurrection. If he did he’s off the ballot. If he did not, then he’s off the hook.
This coward judge has doomed us all.
Trump lost Colorado… This is a state judge, and quite frankly the fear and cowardice some of you people are showing for Trump 2024 is hilarious.
And liberals wonder why everyone else calls them spineless.
None of that means we shouldn’t talk about the ruling
Its an incoherent ruling.
Sure, it’s obviously partisan hackery, but “Doomed us all” is just outright hysterical.
No u
