Six voters sued. This was not something done by the majority of GOP voters or the GOP party in CO.
One was once a GOP congressman in a district in RI, a GOP member who voted for Obama twice and voted for HIllary. And voted for Biden in 2020, So not a lifelong citizen of CO. Not even a lifelong GOP member.
One was once a GOP member. Then was not. Now says she is.
One says she is a GOP member.
The rest are unaffiliated.
So, this was not a case brought by CO Republicans. It was bought by maybe three who call themselves GOP members and three who say they belong to no party.
The law firm was CREW. Which stand for citizens for responsibility in ethics in Washington. Which is a group with connections to David Brock. Who is a progressive democrat political consultant. CREW was founded by the left as a watchdog group.
So don’t try to sell this a something the Colorado republican party did. This was done by the left who got 3 sometimes GOP voters to go along.
This is some rationalizations. It’s not a bad thing to have disunity within the party when it comes primaries. So your need to make this the left is weird. And none of it actually matters because he decision is bad.
Due prosses based on no due process is a Miscarriage of Justice. The Colorado “Trial” presumed guilt not proven in Court. In fact if anything, the Senate’s failure to convict on the second Impeachment of Trump in fact declared him not guilty of engaging in insurrection.
Republicans, the usual suspects,…are the ones that continue to push the idea the borders are open.
The human traffickers then spread that idea, and convince people to try to sneak across the border/.
Those that cannot afford that, just show up at the border.
Engaging in an insurrection is a criminal act. Unless an individual is duly convicted of such, they are innocent. It’s in the Constitution. In order to invoke section 3 of the 14A, the individual must be convicted of the crime.
To date, the only legal proceedings to consider 1) that an insurrection occurred, and 2) that Trump engaged in it, has been the second Impeachment. That process concluded with a not guilty verdict.
Trump was not the defendant in the Colorado trial. The Court declared him ineligible as an insurrectionist … without Trump being afforded due process on that charge.
What the Court did was akin to upholding a school district’s determination of intelligibility of a teacher applicant for being a suspected child molester without that person ever being charged (let alone convicted) with that crime.
Yes, it’s the same in that you must be able to prove you are over 35 (not 25) and that you are a natural born citizen and there must also be proof that you engaged in insurrection. The proof for the latter comes via Due Process in Court or Congress. Trump had his day in the court of Cngress and was found not guilty.
this is a bunch of garbage. Trump held a rally, as he can. Trump told the people at the rally to “peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard”. Within minutes of learning about the mostly peaceful protest at the congress he tweeted to his followers to go home and support the police.
