Trump’s legal woes have been mounting up all year. But now they’ve finally proven to be too much.
And the Supreme Court hands Donald Trump a disastrous court loss that could be the end of his campaign.
Former President Donald Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president in 2024.
Many polls suggest that he would beat President Joe Biden in a rematch of the 2020 election.
That has Democrats scared to death that Trump could very well have another four years in office.
It’s why they are doing everything in their power to try and shut down his campaign before voters even have a chance to pull the lever for him next November.
And it looks like the Left is getting their wish, as the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the U.S. Constitution’s “Insurrection Clause” disqualifies Trump from having his name on the ballot in 2024.
In a 4-3 decision, “The court found by clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms are used in Section Three,” of the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment, according to the ruling.
This ruling reverses a former one that Colorado District Court Judge Sara Wallace made in November.
Wallace suggested that Trump is not a United States officer and therefore cannot be removed from the ballot based off the requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Chief Justice Boatright dissented from Wallace’s ruling, writing, “Dismissal is particularly appropriate here because the Electors brought their challenge without a determination from a proceeding (e.g., a prosecution for an insurrection-related offense) with more rigorous procedures to ensure adequate due process.”
The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling also details the involvement of the U.S. Supreme Court, saying, “If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court.”
Colorado’s Supreme Court justices did not believe that Trump’s actions on January 6 were protected by the First Amendment.
“We consider and reject President Trump’s argument that his speech on January 6 was protected by the First Amendment,” the ruling states.
It looks like the justices forgot to consider the fact that Trump told the protestors that day to act “peacefully and patriotically.”
Even though Donald Trump is being punished by the state of Colorado for allegedly being involved in an insurrection, he has never actually been convicted of that crime.
In fact, the U.S. Senate acquitted him of any charges of insurrection on January 6.
But that obviously didn’t stop the Court, who’s justices are all appointed by Democrats.
The Left goes on and on about how Trump and the GOP are actively trying to destroy democracy. Well it looks like that’s what they’re actually doing by prohibiting American citizens from voting for presidential candidate Donald Trump.
