Correct judgement.

She polls far better for the general election against Democrats anyhow.

I’d imagine SCOTUS is likely to reverse this ?

It will be a very difficult quandary for them.

Appellate courts very rarely question the factual findings of trial courts.

Very unlikely they will overturn the factual finding that Trump engaged in insurrection or gave aid and comfort thereto.

With that factual finding in place, they would have to produce one hell of a word salad to twist the plain meaning of 14.3 to a point that would allow Trump to escape disqualification.

Going to be quite interesting to see how they approach this.

Well done.

and when Trump wins what will Colorado get?

I must say, I’m surprised somebody went ahead and did this

So we now have out of control authoritarians removing people from ballots based on at best unproven accusations…

That’s today’ Democrat party and liberalism for you…

The people who whine about “they are destroying the norms of the democracy…” going full speed ahead destroying the norms of the democracy.

You are incorrect. It has now been proven by clear and convincing evidence that Trump engaged in insurrection.

I don’t support insurrectionists of any party or type.

Simple as that.

All Trump had to do was abide by the expressed will of the voters. He chose not to do that and tried to overthrow the election by force.

That is the bottom line.

I will support a Republican candidate who will abide, win or lose, by the expressed will of the people at the ballot box.

This from the party that pretends to be defending democracy. The Supreme Court will overturn the ruling, but the taint on the Democratic Party will remain.
