In spite of President Trump never being found guilty in any trial even remotely close to insurrection and/or treason, the Colorado State Supreme Court decided that President Trump violated the US Constitution three years ago.
As reported by Joe Mueller of the Washington Examiner via MSN.com;
The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled former President Donald Trump should not appear on the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.
In a 4-3 decision, the state’s highest court ruled Trump is “disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” In a 213-page document, the justices, all appointed by Democrat governors, overruled a Colorado District Court decision by Judge Sarah Wallace stating Trump’s speech on Jan. 6 “incited imminent lawless violence” but didn’t meet the definition of “engagement” found in the 14th Amendment.
It doesn’t end there.
The ruling stated the court’s admission of 31 findings from the “Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol” was appropriate.
You mean the same Select Committe that was hand-picked by Nancy Pelosi? That one…?
“Under the deferential standard of review that governs, we perceive no error by the district court in admitting portions of the report into evidence at trial,” the justices wrote.
Of course, they didn’t. Everyone knows that Stalin-esque show trials are a prerequisite for keeping your main competition from replacing you.
The justices also wrote the definitions of “engaged in” and “insurrection” aren’t defined in the U.S. Constitution.
Hmmm… so STATE Supreme Courts decide how the US Constitution should be interpreted?
How interesting.
