Since the Colorado Court decision there’ve been some interesting comments and analysis from people much smarter than me.
Most of these folks, Democrat and Republican are speaking out against the Colorado decision because on it’s face it violates due process (Trump hasn’t been charged with insurrection in any court, so how can the Colorado supreme court essentially say he’s guilty of something for which he’s not been charged or tried?)
I’m pleased to see many of our politicians, from both sides of the aisle and presidential candidates taking issue with the Colorado decision. These people at least have the sense to understand how dangerous to our Republic this decision is, if allowed to stand.
Thus far no-one appears to be calling for the Colorado Supreme Court to resign and be replaced with justices who at least follow the law. I don’t know what’s involved in replacing a state Supreme Court, but that process should be initiated immediately. I know at this point I wouldn’t want to get a parking ticket in Colorado because I very much question if the law is obeyed in the state. Would I be sentenced to death when I signed the ticket?
Our current President demonstrated the level of his incompetence by saying publicly yesterday that Trump was guilty of insurrection when he said;
“It’s self-evident. You saw it all. Now whether the 14th Amendment applies, I’ll let the court make that decision,” the president said during a trip to Wisconsin. “But he (Trump) certainly supported an insurrection. No question about it. None. Zero.”
In my mind this underscores that Biden is unfit for the Presidency and always has been. He may well have been unfit for the whole time he was in congress if this statement is indicative of his legal scholarship. There’s also a certain level of irony in his statement because currently, He and his son are enjoying the protections of due process.
I rather suspect that if it were put to a vote today. The American people would vote that He, Hunter, and to some extent the rest of his family are guilty of graft and corruption. Were it not for the protections of due process, he and his family might all be in prison already.
The Colorado decision does provide one ray of light in an otherwise dark situation.
It allows the American people to see exactly which members of The House and Senate need to be kicked to the curb.
Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) could be forgiven for defending the Colorado ruling since he’s Biden’s Campaign Co-Chair.
Since he’s also a sitting US Senator. I think he needs to be replaced in the Senate. Perhaps he’d be better just running campaigns.
He’s not the only Congressperson who has failed to see the problem. The usual list of authoritarians, gleeful at Trump being “Silenced” in Colorado completely fail to see that their names can as easily be removed from ballots using the same amendment and subsection, without due process.
One could argue that AOC provided aid and comfort to BLM during the summer of “Love”. Was BLM engaged in an insurrection against the legitimate government(s) of various states? Does AOC bailing people out of jail meet the test of aid and comfort?
Ilhan Omar has been accused of 2 counts? Of immigration fraud? She also has been accused of financial abuses and at the same time provided financial support to CAIR who has been connected to terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East. She’s done all this during the 20 years we spent in Afghanistan fighting terrorist organizations. Does this meet the standard for aid and comfort, or acting against the interests of the United States?
Rashida Tlaib vociferously supports Hamas. A U.S. designated terrorist group currently in conflict with one of our closest allies, does this meet the standard? She has supported this terrorist organization for years and most recently used her position in congress to endorse Pro-Palestinian, Pro-Hamas protests ultimately leading to the occupation of the U.S. Capital and interference in congressional business.
The Colorado ruling with its leap to essentially a guilty verdict for Donald Trump on charges of insurrection which have never been filed in any jurisdiction in the country, would seem to allow similar presumptions of guilt and demands for removal from office of members of “The Squad” for their seditious activities.
I submit that any House Representative, or Senate Member that applauds and approves of the Colorado ruling is not fit for office and should be voted out by their constituents.
Or… We can simply presume they’re guilty of something and remove them from the ballots of their states and perhaps even their congressional posts. We could imprison them all right next to the Jan 6th insurrectionists still awaiting trial after almost 3 years.
Now there’s a happy thought!
