Colorado Supreme Court tears up Constitution, bans Trump from Ballot

Good day all. This is a breaking story. Late yesterday the Colorado State Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, announced that President Trump was guilty of Insurrection and has ordered him removed from the ballot.

I woke up to this news and have been steaming about it for several hours. Now that I have cooled down a bit, I think I can make a few comments that won’t get me arrested. The Democrats hate President Donald Trump. We all know this. They will do pretty much anything to prevent President Trump from returning to the Oval Office. (We won’t go into the Tainted Election of 2020. That’s another story)

We have been seeing how the Democrat party has been weaponizing the legal system, not only against President Trump, but also against anyone who supports him. You also have state courts being used by Soros District Attorneys to go after President Trump, apparently with the aid of the Garland DoJ.

There have been multiple attempts by leftist Soros backed groups to try and use the 14th Amendment to block President Trump from running for reelection. All of them have been basically laughed out of court. The basic reasoning is that this is a federal matter and not a state one. This hasn’t stopped the left from trying to find some pet courts that would back them.

The original case in Colorado was rejected for the same reasons. The Leftists appealed to the state supreme court, and four of the judges decided to assume power they don’t have and ruled that President Trump can’t be on the ballot. There were three judges, also Democrats, who have functioning brains. They ruled in favor of President Trump and did so very loudly. Here are some of those details from Fox News:

The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to ban former President Trump from the state’s primary ballot undermines a “bedrock principle” of American democracy, one of the court’s Democrat-appointed justices wrote in a fiery dissent.

Justices Carlos Samour, Maria Berkenkotter and Chief Justice Brian D. Boatright all dissented, but Samour was particularly critical of the 4-3 ruling. Samour and Boatright were each appointed by Democratic former Gov. John Hickenlooper, while Berkenkotter was appointed by current Gov. Jared Polis, also a Democrat. 

“The decision to bar former President Donald J. Trump — by all accounts the current leading Republican presidential candidate (and reportedly the current leading overall presidential candidate) — from Colorado’s presidential primary ballot flies in the face of the due process doctrine,” Samour wrote.

“Even if we are convinced that a candidate committed horrible acts in the past — dare I say, engaged in insurrection — there must be procedural due process before we can declare that individual disqualified from holding public office,” he wrote.

The problem here, which even these three judges are having trouble admitting, is that there was no insurrection on January 6th, 2021. There was a protest and a few people went a bit over the top. What President Trump said, which is always ignored by the Left, was to go to peacefully and patriotically march to the Capitol and make their voices heard. This is straight out of the 1st Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

President Trump and the protesters were trying to petition for a redress of grievances, specifically the fairly good probability that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen by the Democrats. All attempts to bring these issues before a judge, or judges was rebuked, not because there was no evidence, but due to Judges pulling every technicality they had out of their bag of judicial tricks to keep from actually hearing the cases.

Samour went on to argue that allowing states to decide individually whether to allow Trump’s candidacy “risked chaos in the country.” The justice conjured visions of state governments divided on the legitimacy of a victorious presidential candidate.

“This can’t possibly be the outcome the framers intended,” Samour argued.

It isn’t. The only qualifications to run and be president of the United States are:

  1. Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
  2. Be at least 35 years old.
  3. Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.

That’s it. That is what is required to run and hold the office of President of the United States of America. What the Democrats have been trying to do is use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. This deals with insurrection and was passed to deal with members of the Confederate States who were going to run for office in the United States after the Civil War.

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

One of the little details the Progressive Liberal Democrats don’t mention is that there has to be a declaration of an insurrection in order for Section 3 to apply. The states can’t do this, only the Congress. They haven’t done so and for good reason. (Several good reasons actually) There was no insurrection. This is the little detail that the four corrupt Colorado Supreme Court judges have ignored. They have taken it on themselves to declare an insurrection, and they flat out do not have the authority to do so.

Now, I’m going to name these four seditious, tyrannical scum. They are:

Richard L. Gabriel

According to his biography, Gabriel was appointed to the court in 2015. His legal experience consisted of career in commercial and intellectual property law.

Melissa Hart

Hart was appointed in 2017, and her legal experience is nonexistent. All she has done is teach law. I don’t see any indications of actually practicing law or litigating a case in court. Looking at her picture, she appears fairly young and probably voted for Felonia von Pantsuit. She probably sees this as her way of fixing a bad decision by the voters.

Monica Márquez

Marquez has been on the court since 2010. Prior to that she actually had court experience serving Deputy Attorney General and apparently was a litigator for a law firm. They also mentioned her sexual orientation and the fact that she is of Latin descent. She was also a community organizer. Well, there’s the probable reason for her ruling.

William W. Hood III

Hood is another one who actually has courtroom experience. As to why he made this decision, I don’t see anything obvious, other then he is a communist Democrat who doesn’t believe in the Constitution and hates Donald Trump.

I am going to call on people to let these idiot know that they have crossed a line that should never have been crossed. I will NOT tolerate unlawful actions towards them. You make a threat and I hear about it, I will contact proper legal authorities. What you should do is contact the state representatives on Colorado, especially those who live in Colorado and demand that action be taken against them. (Removing from office) I would also contact the state Bar Association and file complaints against these four judges. I’ll let those who are versed in the laws of Colorado figure out the details.

As I write this post, I am listening to Andrew Esquire of The Legal Mindset discussing this decision. He is an actual lawyer and he isn’t happy with this. (I can’t say he is a Trump supporter, but he’s not a Liberal) I would suggest giving him a listen for his initial legal impressions. The short version is he thinks it’s garbage.

The order has been stayed until January 4th, and this is being appealed to the United States Supreme Court. This is something that the court really needs to deal with, no matter what that useless coward John Roberts wants. If this is allowed to stand, it will lead to chaos. He’s not wrong.

During the 2020 BLM riots, we had any number of Democrats backing the burning of cities and riots. Many were calling for direct action, (Another term for violence). You could see these people removed from ballots and prevented from running for any office in states that are generally controlled by Republicans.

This decision is typical of the Progressive Liberal Democrat mindset. They have been pulling these things for years and not considering that they would be used against them. Former Senate Majority Leader, Dingy Harry Reid pulled stunts like this to pack the 4th circuit court. He never thought that the Republicans would ever gain control of the Senate or the House. Of course, the GOP did and promptly used the very same tools that Reid created against the Democrats.

This is, of course, a breaking story. It’s also the Holiday season, (Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years), so I don’t expect any action by the Supreme Court until the first week of January. The Colorado GOP is already looking to get around this stupidity from the State Supreme Court, and GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has already said that if President Trump is not on the ballot, he will withdraw from the Colorado Primary and is calling on the other GOP candidates to do the same.

Whether any of the others will do this is questionable. (Actually. Haley is not a question. That scumbitch won’t withdraw) In any case, this is a shot across the bows with regards to the Constitution, the Rule of Law and the continued existence of the Republic. Stay tuned and have a merry Christmas!

  1. Jefferson Selvy says:

    If this is upheld by SCOTUS, does that not mean that an insurrection is under way? This will free Biden to rig the election like Lincoln did (2nd term). Are we not then obligated to set new guards over our liberties (to paraphrase Jefferson)? Shall we not see it through? This ruling puts the Republic on life support, and SCOTUS may just pull the plug.

    • If Roberts and crew allow this to stand, it will be the end of the Republic. For starters, look for pretty much any Democrat in a Red state that backed Antifa or the BLM to be declared insurrectionists and booted from the ballot.

      If you have time, you might want to follow the link to the Legal Mindset and see what he has to say. The guy is an actual lawyer. (He’s usually ripping Disney apart for their alleged criminal conduct since he knows the Florida District system first hand)

    • I don’t know if that’s allowed in Colorado. I’ve read that the State GOP is ready to pull out of the Primary and do a party caucus.

    • imnohbody says:

      My understanding, from an admittedly cursory skim of discussions, is that the ruling would also result in any write-in votes being discarded.
      Whether all votes on that particular ballot or just the POTUS option I have no idea. I am most certainly not a lawyer, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

      • So, we have for state judges who are attempting to interfere with the 2024 election to aid their preferred candidate, Joe Biden. Sounds like grounds to have them arrested.

        From what I’ve been reading, these morons know it will be overturned and expect it to be.They’re virtue signaling.
