Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold on Tuesday became the latest party in a landmark case seeking to block former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot to formally request a prompt review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that blocks former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential ballot.
Several attendees said their objection to the ruling isn’t a partisan issue specific to Trump, rather it’s about maintaining free and fair elections open to all.
Evan Barrett writes, "In a new Trump world, the powers of the federal government will be used to either punish you or reward you depending on whether you’re on the “naughty" or "nice” list."
Polls put former President Donald Trump as a front-runner in the 2024 GOP primary, but a group of party members question whether he will be eligible for office after facing criminal charges in several courts.
Sneed Collard writes, "Trump is not Father Christmas delivering gifts. He is Scrooge, eager to stuff our freedoms into his sack and carry them off for good."
Jim Nelson writes, "Semi-loyalists, by tolerating the conduct and statements of extremists, actually strengthen the behavior of these authoritarian elements and legitimize their conduct and ideas—perhaps creating the tipping-point that results in a solid democracy collapsing upon itself."
Colorado’s highest court on Wednesday heard oral arguments in a landmark case seeking to bar former President Donald Trump from Colorado’s 2024 ballot under a Civil War-era insurrection clause.
