Every time Donald Trump has been indicted, gagged or ruled against by Dem prosecutors, judges his poll numbers go up fueled by the anger of the American people for such obvious political persecution and injustice, so Dems, don't stop shooting yourselves in the foot, please keep it going. PG 4 CGR
Breitbart, Dec 19, 2023. The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a 4-3 opinion that the Constitution’s “Insurrection Clause” prohibits former President Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot for the presidency in 2024.
“The court found by clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms are used in Section Three” of the Fourteenth Amendment, the ruling reads.
The provocative ruling partially reverses a prior ruling from Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace, who ruled in November that Trump is not an officer of the United States as defined by the Fourteenth Amendment and that the Amendment therefore cannot be used to disqualify him from appearing on the Colorado primary ballot.
In his dissent, Chief Justice Boatright wrote, “Dismissal is particularly appropriate here because the Electors brought their challenge without a determination from a proceeding (e.g., a prosecution for an insurrection-related offense) with more rigorous procedures to ensure adequate due process.”
In partially reversing Wallace, the Court all but dared the U.S. Supreme Court to step in by January 4, 2024.
“If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court,” the ruling says.
The Court disagreed with Trump’s claims that his actions were protected free speech.
“We consider and reject President Trump’s argument that his speech on January 6 was protected by the First Amendment,” the ruling ignoring Trump’s calls that day for protesters to conduct themselves “peacefully and patriotically.”
Daily Mail, Dec 20, 2023. High-profile pollster and political consultant Frank Luntz said in an interview Tuesday on CNN that the Colorado ruling will have 'the same impact as his other 91 indictments,' which saw Trump's poll numbers jump. 'Trump is now even more likely to beat Biden,' he predicted in the interview. Trump is facing felony charges in New York, Washington, D.C., Florida and Georgia related to election interference, mishandling of classified documents and hush money payments that have all boosted his popularity and poll numbers.
