Incorrect! Whenever any entity, state or otherwise violates the Constitution, then we have let tyranny take over. Trump was NEVER convicted of insurrection- I challenge you to find it, Baghdad agip. Forget your feelings/hate for Trump and focus on the law. The law has been usurped by an entity that has no jurisdiction over Congress in this specific case.
So, in the absence of a conviction by Congress, the Colorado Supreme Court goes ahead and disqualifies Trump anyway. That's not the way the law works and more specifically this is a direct violation of the 14th Amendment.
Only Congress can disqualify someone from holding office under Section 3 of the 14A to begin with, not a court. This is underscored by Section 5 of 14A which explicitly states: "The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
SCOTUS will overturn and Trump will be back on the ballot. Take the "L" here.
if that's how this goes, then fine. Unlike 'conservatives,' I support law enforcement and the courts and will abide by their decisions.
You should ALWAYS abide by the highest law of the land, our Constitution. Your hate for Trump has clouded your judgment. We cannot allow any entity to violate the Constitution regardless of which party we support. I also expect SCOTUS to issue a stern rebuke to the Colorado Court for their absolutely abhorrent ruling.
funny how whenever right wingers are caught up in the law, suddenly they think the courts and law enforcement agencies are corrupt.
He hasn't been convicted of breaking any law and they are corrupt.
If any other country banned a politician from running for election without due process, we would label them an autocracy. Your pro-"democracy" talk has been exposed - couldn't even pass the simplest test.
I am surprised Biden has not pardoned Trump and told them don't go after him as it gives the perception that it is ALL Political, and going after political opponents iss not supposed to happen in the USA, that is what Corrupt 3rd World Countries do, Biden should say I beat him last time and I will beat him again, In this Country we are ABOVE going after Political Opponents, lets not give the impression we are stooping to that. This would Unify people and by doing that Biden will go down in History of doing the right thing, He said when he was running for President his main goal was to Unify the People and his approval rating would skyrocket.
Personally I don't know if Trump is Guilty or Not, but I know a lot of people think this is all to keep Trump from running and like him or not you almost certainly know many who think this is not on the up and up. Biden has a big opportunity if he pardons him, of how History views him

Whoah you are a never-GOPer now!
welcome aboard! I know you’d never ever ever vote for the party of the guy who violated his oath of office to defend the Constitution as president, and then loudly called for that very same Constitution to be terminated so he could stay in power. you just said as much! If you can change your mind then so can anyone.

Trump could turn this into one of his rallies catch phrases. “Biden could and should pardon me. If he has the courage”.

Biden isn’t pardoning Trump. He knows he loses a fair fight this round. He’s setting up for Maximus vs. Commodus, he just has to wound him to stand a chance.
As the world grapples with the existential crisis of climate change, environmental activists want President Joe Biden to phase out the oil industry, and Republicans argue he’s already doing that. Meanwhile, the surprising rea...
per capita real GDP. This is the economic output in inflation-controlled dollars and a rude measure of the economic prosperity of members of a nation.
Needless to say, like most econ numbers, this number is at an all-time high and far higher now than it was during the Trump administration. 6% higher now than at the highest point of the Trump administration and moving up sharply.
Bidenomics has brought spiking prosperity to this nation.
you righties are all 'states rights!' until you don't like what a state does.
laughable.

Whoa. Well, I'd bet you're not the only person who has trouble interpreting that. "Congress shall have..." does not automatically mean "ONLY Congress shall have..."
I agree that SCOTUS may well overturn the CO action, but it's not a done deal.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell invoked Tuesday his wife’s name in a rare pushback against former President Donald Trump's claim that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of Americans. McConnell, R-Ky., suggested Trump...
Aren't 4 of Trump's 5 children the sons and daughters of an immigrant. Poisoned Trump blood?
Honestly, I don't know how you sit at Trump's rallies and not be able to put it together that he is just lying and conning you constantly to get something. Your vote. Your money. Your applause.

Trump's mother and grandfather were also immigrants.
But there is a big difference between them and Elaine Chao.

States and cities have already banned politicians from running after insurrections. (in addition to the term limits). The face that you a.) are ignorant of history b.)don't understand the law and c.) are only mad when daddy Trump is affect shows your true motives.

The uncomfortable truth for Democrats is that Trump was able to win by swaying enough non-college educated white males that traditionally voted for Democrats because of their structurally racist pro-union policies with some of his spicy rhetoric. He has won their votes and given them nothing in return. The Democrats actually give them racist policies that benefit them. Unfortunately elections are popularity contests, not capability contests, so you have to sometimes sway idiots to act against their self interest when the other side is irresponsibly giving them free stuff that the country cannot afford to give.
Colorado's ruling to remove Trump from the state's primary election ballot will only 'rocket fuel' his chances of winning in a rematch against President Biden, pollsters and pundits predict.
