It’s fantastic news! Finally, some supreme court justices rightfully “interpreted” our U.S. Constitution and it didn’t require an Originalist’s point-of-view or their narrow, wealth-driven bias. It seems some of our state justices have higher qualified deciphering skills and more qualified to understand the historical context of our six 18th-century Core Founding Fathers than several of our federal supreme court justices do today.
Outstanding Colorado SC Justices!
Because it’s all over national news you probably know what the great news is about. Yes, the Colorado Supreme Court voted 4 — 3 to bar Donald Trump from Colorado’s Election Ballot in 2024! 🥳👏
“In a stunning and unprecedented decision, the Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot, ruling that he isn’t an eligible presidential candidate because of the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban.””

In her usual upfront truthful reporting, Heather Cox Richardson, a renown history professor at Boston College and an independent author/educator, writes on this historic event:
“This evening, by a vote of 4–3, the Colorado Supreme Court decided that former president Donald Trump is disqualified from holding office and should be removed from the 2024 ballot in the state, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. […]
Today the Colorado Supreme Court agreed that the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, constituted an “insurrection” and that Trump “engaged in” that insurrection through his personal actions, including his incitement of the crowd that breached the Capitol. But it disagreed that the 14th Amendment did not apply to the president.
“The sum of these parts is this,” the court wrote. “Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three; because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Secretary to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.””

You can read Richardson’s entire letter here. It’s well worth it.
Unsurprisingly, Trump and his crackpot team of attorneys are appealing this ruling and will likely ask SCOTUS to intervene. They are using the defense of presidential immunity which also comes as no surprise. And Trump has also gone on the offensive in all his usual ways to pick public fights with anyone who does not endorse him unconditionally.
I don’t know about you, but I really hope this is the start of a domino-effect on the state-level by state supreme courts and Secretary of States following suit with Colorado. If the former insurrectionist tRump isn’t in prison or not yet sentenced by the Spring 2024, then hopefully enough swing states and Blue states will come to the same ruling for the same reasons as Colorado and make it near impossible for the Orange Orangutan to be re-elected into the White House.
Fingers crossed people! 🤞
Update 12-23-2023 — Listen to conservative attorney and CNN Legal Consultant George Conway’s interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper discuss the recent SCOTUS decision and rejection to hear Trump’s immunity plea. It is not bad news for us true American patriots and attorney Conway sees it as not good for Trump’s future. Here’s the link:
