The Colorado secretary of state will include former President Donald Trump on the 2024 Colorado primary ballot after Republicans filed an appeal to the Supreme Court.

On Wednesday, the Colorado GOP filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court after the state Supreme Court's decision to remove Trump from the primary ballot.

Following the appeal, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that she will include Trump on the primary ballot on the Jan. 5 certification deadline, unless the U.S. Supreme Court affirms the lower court's ruling or declines to take up the case.

I can't quite decide what Colorado's trying to encourage the Supreme Court to do.

Colorado Secretary Of State urges SCOTUS to ‘quickly’ rule against Trump
by Katelynn Richardson
Daily Caller News Foundation

Democratic Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold urged the Supreme Court Thursday to “quickly” uphold a decision baring former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot.

The Colorado Supreme Court found Trump ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot Dec. 19 under a section of the 14th Amendment that bars individuals who took an oath to the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” from holding office. The Colorado Republican Party appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

“Donald Trump engaged in insurrection and was disqualified under the Constitution from the Colorado Ballot,” Griswold posted. “The Colorado Supreme Court got it right. This decision is now being appealed. I urge the U.S. Supreme Court to act quickly given the upcoming presidential primary election.”

With the court’s decision now appealed, Griswold is required to include Trump’s name on the ballot unless the Supreme Court says otherwise before the Jan. 5 certification deadline, according to the ruling.

Griswold also shared Thursday an editorial by The Denver Post arguing that “Trump’s actions have disqualified him from holding the office of president.” ... More

Colorado Secretary Of State urges SCOTUS to ‘quickly’ rule against Trump

 

Man will I laugh if and when SCOTUS slaps her back down with a 9-0 ass kicking.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Has the Colorado SOS just issed a stay on a Colorado SC decision?   If so, can she?

[Hoodat]

So the Colorado Secretary of State has unilaterally decided to violate a State Supreme Court order.  And no one questions it.

"Loonie Leftie, Jena Griswold, has caved. The Secretary of State has just declared that President Trump’s name will stay on  Colorado ballots."

At least some Colorado demsheviks realize that they're going to lose this when the issue reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, and are covering their rear ends.

Catfish adds:
"Man will I laugh if and when SCOTUS slaps her back down with a 9-0 ass kicking"

Think again, man.
Fishrrman totally-off-the-wall™ prediction:
The Supreme Court WILL overturn the Colorado decision.
But... it will be either by a 6-3 vote, or maybe even a 5-4 vote.

[Hoodat]

I predict 7-2.  Kagan sides with the majority.

[LMAO]

I predict 6-3 in favor of Trump

Kagan,”the wise Latina,” and the justice who couldn’t define what a woman is will rule against

If so, that means some members the highest level of our courts is saying even without a convicition, or even a charge, a candidate can be precluded from running due to ideolgical differences. 

I think at worst Brown (who can't even ID what a woman is) might be the only dissenting vote.  I don't think SCOTUS is this big into this level of precedence, given its absurdity.

Kagan could be a maybe when it comes to siding with Trump on this

Sotomayor and Brown…not a chance

Tweeter by the name of Usually Right says: Colorado Supreme Court, knowing that SCOTUS would reverse them, built in an automatic stay into their ruling "if" Trump or the Colorado Republican Party appealed to SCOTUS.  That happened yesterday with the CO GOP appealing, so Trump stays on the primary ballot.  It's all theatre

100% true (except the "all-theater" part), and someone that anyone who read the actual decision before commenting on it would have known.  Automatic stays during appeals are quite common in court decisions, and this particular stay provision was mentioned in a lot of the articles reporting on it, and on here as well.

Anyway, this is one reason I've concluded we are more than likely screwed long term.  Far too many people on both sides, even very intelligent people like Gorka, reach conclusions about issues without even bothering to first become informed.   

Outrage and ignorance are never a pretty combination.

@LMAO

Your input is needed:  Office Pool- How does SCOTUS rule on the Trump state ballot debacle

[Maj. Bill Martin]

I predict 7-2.  Kagan sides with the majority.

That would be my guess too.  Kagan is brighter than the other two.

Thanks for the info.

According to Colorado law, the decision for who qualifies to be on a primary ballot is left up to each Party.  Not that the Colorado Supreme Court has any interest on what the law says.

C.R.S. Title 1, Art. 4
