Welcome to the total state, where you vote for all the pre-approved candidates, comrades!
In this appeal from a district court proceeding under the Colorado Election Code, the supreme court considers whether former President Donald J. Trump may appear on the Colorado Republican presidential primary ballot in 2024. A majority of the court holds that President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot. The court stays its ruling until January 4, 2024, subject to any further appellate proceedings.
Remember, in order to "fortify" democracy, the courts need to get rid of the opposition leader. This will right the wrongs of the past and set the country on course for a harmonious future!
I'll get to why invoking the 14th Amendment is unconstitutional, but first, Trump's response.
The Trump campaign immediately said they would be challenging the ruling before the Supreme Court.
The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed decision tonight and we will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision. We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these unAmerican lawsuits.
Vivek Ramaswamy pledged to remove his own name from the Colorado ballot soon after the news broke on Tuesday night.
Vivek also laid out some context for the judges who have bought into the BlueAnon conspiracy that Trump is Orange Hitler.
The 14th Amendment was part of the "Reconstruction Amendments" that were ratified following the Civil War. It was passed to prohibit former Confederate military and political leaders from holding high federal or state office. These men had clearly taken part in a rebellion against the United States: the Civil War. That makes it all the more absurd that a left-wing group in Colorado is asking a federal court to disqualify the 45th President on the same grounds, equating his speech to rebellion against the United States.
And there's another legal problem: Trump is not a former "officer of the United States," as that term is used in the Constitution, meaning Section 3 does not apply. As the Supreme Court explained in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010), an "officer of the United States" is someone appointed by the President to aid him in his duties under Article II, Section 2. The term does not apply to elected officials, and certainly not to the President himself.
The Framers of the 14th Amendment would be appalled to see this narrow provision — intended to bar former U.S. officials who switched to the Confederacy from seeking public office — being weaponized by a sitting President and his political allies to prevent a former President from seeking reelection. Our country is becoming unrecognizable to our Founding Fathers.
Judges like this are going to destroy America in their brainwashed attempts to save her.
And the brainwashing is real, my friends.
