Trump LOSES Colorado case and is barred from the primary ballot there!

[thewayne]

A political watch group, C.R.E.W., sued in Colorado to bar Trump from the ballot under Article 14, Section 3 of the Constitution which bars people from holding elected office if they gave aid or succor to seditionists after swearing an oath to uphold the Constitution. Which Trump did. He swore the oath of office when he became President, and the aid and succor is pretty self-evident.

And the Colorado State Supreme Court ruled in favor of CREW, 4-3. The ruling is temporarily stayed until it can be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which Trump's posse immediately pledged to do.

And if the Supreme Court upholds the Colorado ruling, it's game over. He'll still face the 4+ law suits, but that's the end of his political career.

Fingers crossed!

Wouldn't it be a wild world if our judges actually believed in and used the Constitution? :o

The problem was with judges that do this Strict Constructionalism interpretation of the Constitution and see it as an unbending instrument that can only be interpreted in an 18th century definition which is such a crock that it's not worth bothering with.  In the 18th century we didn't have magazine-fed firearms, much less rapid-fire weapons, we didn't have television, safe abortificants, automobiles, antibiotics, rockets, etc.  They would pick and choose later rulings to suit their needs.  The interpretation has to be more flexible and grow as the country and technology grows.  And keep the effing religious bigots out of it!  Not that religion has anything to do with this particular case.

They have definitely been flexible with interpreting No. 2.
