Wednesday Morning Rant
In the gallons of ink already spilled on this topic, it is clear that the left fairly generally is in full approval of this preemptive subversion of the will of the electorate. The cognitive dissonance on full display on the Left is, as always, remarkable. From DU:
The decision is a mixture of federal constitutional and state law. The Colorado Supreme Court should have the last word on state law. SCOTUS should be hard pressed to separate the federal constitutional issues from the state statutory issues. We know what a SCOTUS majority will want to do but it will be a trick to write a decision that is not blatantly outcome determinative.So the SCOTUS ruling would be "blatantly outcome determinative" but the state's Supreme Court ruling that removes a candidate from the ballot is, for some reason, not "blatantly outcome determinative." So the big brains have their rationalization, but what about the chattering classes at DU? It's about what you'd expect. The ones not snarking about ketchup (Trump puts ketchup on steak, dontchyaknow) are just reveling. Very few of the big brains at DU have even the slightest pause, and their opinions are dismissed:
My problem with this is thatC'mon, bro. Don't be so old-fashioned. But that's DU. It's a dumpster fire anyway, right?The higher-brow (seriously, at least for this one) Daily Kos is more caught up in legal minutiae in the decision and the motivations of the justices. Full approval, of course. They're thrilled that "democracy" will be denied to Colorado's voters. It doesn't matter that Trump (or any Republican) doesn't have a hope in hell of winning in that state's general - the choice must be precluded. But those are just chatterers. They don't get bylines. What of those who do? Well, Amanda Marcotte of Salon fully supports the most sweeping reinterpretation of the Constitution by a court in quite some time because, of course, it's obvious:
He hasn't been convicted of anything yet. I think he's a horrible person who should never have been elected, and yet was, and the thought of him ever being in office terrifies me almost beyond belief, but he hasn't been convicted yet. I anticipate he will be, but this seems like something the Senate should have done after his second impeachment...and yet didn't.
A shameless insurrectionist is running for president while under 91 felony indictments. To add to this historic situation, the Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday banned Trump from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot. The 4-3 decision follows the clear language of the Constitution's 14th Amendment barring those who "have engaged in insurrection" from running for office. Yet anyone who thinks they know how this will play out over the next 11 months is kidding themselves. The one thing that is dead certain, however, is that the Supreme Court justices would be fools not to uphold this decision.Fools indeed. They might suffer the wrath of activists with extralegal protections. But Salon are hacks, too, right? Those straight-shooters at Politico are surely more even-handed, right? Well:
... said Ian Bassin, executive director of the nonpartisan but highly Trump-critical group Protect Democracy. "So if the Court is just applying the law, then a straight read of the law requires them to uphold the Colorado decision. ... But of course the Court does not exist in a vacuum. It is responsive to politics, and the political reality is that Donald Trump has built a large political following."Ah, so the issues of legality, constitutionality or appropriateness are beyond question. It's obvious that the Colorado ruling is correct and proper, it's just that a political court beholden to Trump and his degenerate supporters hate the law. Top-notch political journalism. The aftermath of and attitude about this ruling is, I think, evidence of the ongoing death throes of representative government - not in practice, but in spirit. Even among left-wingers who timidly say, "hey, maybe we should pump the brakes on this, eh," they are immediately opposed and silenced. If SCOTUS overturns this as it rightly should, these same papers and forums will decry the injustice of giving people a choice in an election. The dominant power movement in the country, the movement with most of the institutional authority, no longer even pays lip service to the notion that people should pick their own government. Welcome to the Post-Republic.

If there was an opposite party they'd be removing Biden from every state they control the state government in - and they would have started this the moment that the first case against Trump was filed.
How do you FORCE the SC to act immediately? Right now they can argue "its just one state we can have a mostly fair election without it" but if the point at stake is "half the states are disqualifying the D and half are disqualifying the R" they would be FORCED to act.

If Trump wants to play around this it could be fun...
Since electors can vote for who they want he just needs the electors picked that will vote for him.
So then his other problem is getting his name on the ballot.
Well...get Vivek or someone to agree to be his stalking horse and if he wins the primary then change his name legally to...Donald Trump.
Then if "Donald Trump" wins CO select a group of electors that will vote for the real Donald Trump.

But best of all, this gives you permission to assume the 2020 election was rigged -- without proof -- because "stop Trump at any cost" is evident in this decision.
The left: How DARE you accuse us of stealing the 2020 election. I mean that would be extreme and something you'd only do as a last resort!
Also the left: Trump is literally Hitler and will literally turn us into NAZI Germany if elected. And wouldn't you do literally anything to keep Hitler from being elected?

It's not worth the effort to argue this "legal decision". It's ludicrous on its face.
The larger issue is how it will affect people's votes in '24. Even some Democrats are worried that this is such blatantly unconstitutional disenfranchisement that it will have the opposite of the intended effect. Voters are being show exactly what the Dems think of them, and what they have in mind for the future.
For most people, it does not redound to the electoral desirability of the Dems.

And obviously Stalin allied with Hitler at the opening of WWII. It is only after Hitler's sneak attack that Stalin then had Western leftists oppose Germany - before that they derided Churchill has a warmonger that irrationally hated Germany.

Those are the important one. The R candidate isn't going to win in CO no matter what - it's all just so much noise.
But using this as precedent in states that are actually up for grabs is probably the real risk (and the real point).

Not much one can do with one who upon seeing a show trial sees justice.
This is why show trials work and will be used again and again 8n future history. And the camps. Don't forget the camps.
And when these people do lose, they think not of justice but that they only lost because their enemy believes 'might makes right'.

How do they respond? They are apparently already dying on the vine financially. Will their poor financial position with the GOP's base get them off their asses to even pretend to care?

Ironically, even though they had to write in "Shelly Sekula Gibbs," tens of thousands of people did. Just not enough. So Nick Lampson was a one-term wonder.
For what it's worth, although he was an obvious Beaumont party hack who deserved to be defeated in the enxt election for a lot of reasons, Lampson was the best elected official out of all of them in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. I give him kudos for that. He was like a one-man troubleshooter who was out there cutting red tape and swinging his weight in a good way.

Biden had a much better argument to make in 2020 then he does in 2024.
We are experiencing the worst recession in history, unprecedented crime and invasion whereas then he could just snip and claim he would have done everything Trump did...but better!
So...in terms of actual American voters Biden got around 60M in 2020. How low will his numbers be now? 50M? Lower?
Yes they control the counting but this level of fraud would get you a coup in any serious country.

This is probably obvious but...
If this violation of American principles is upheld by the SC, then-
from here on out anyvote fraud, voter suppression, stolen election, etc is de facto deemed legitimate,
because to merely question the legitimacy of the vote is insurrection.
So, Democrat-run gov't forever, with SC approval, even the Soviet and Chinese communist parties never pulled so blatant a "fuck you" to their citizens.
Democracy will be dead and rotten with a stake driven through it's heart, but still shambling as a corrupt zombie manque of it's former self.
On the upside, Our Corrupt Robber Politicians will be able to get their graft unimpeded by those silly voters.
Yay?

With several DU references in the OP, I feel it's important to share this DU post exhibiting their intelligence and common sense:
My wife choked last night, and she did not know the universal sign of choking.
We were at the annual neighborhood holiday party and my wife had eaten a roll with a big chunk of beef tenderloin inside. I did not know that, since we were in separate areas of the house.
She suddenly came by me, with her hand, flat-palm, against her nose. She went into a hallway, obviously in distressed. There were several people around her by this time.
I though that she was trying to suppress a sneezing fit, which she sometimes has. I got up close, and then I thought she was trying to suppress a need to vomit. Her palm was still flat against her nose.
A neighbor, who is a dentist, had come into the hall to help. He told her, "SAY SOMETHING!", which she could not do. It was then that we realized that she was choking.
The dentist-neighbor immediately got into position, behind my wife, to attempt the Heimlich maneuver. He told her what he was doing, then he did the Heimlich bear-hug.
It is followed with a PSA image of the "universal choking sign".

While I don't doubt they will try I've been hearing similar predictions to this most specifically about Trump for the last 3 years and every attempt they have made to stop him and us has failed so far. Trump isn't just crushing the Republican nomination he is doing the same to Biden.
More than half the country now thinks there were serious problems if not outright fraud in the 2020 election and with this type of action the left is doing nothing to counter those beliefs. Barring a miracle Biden, if he is even still on the ballot next fall, will be so far behind Trump the cheating will be obvious to all. Not sure how the country reacts but I don't it will roll over and accept it.

The problem with elite universities goes so much deeper than denying Jewish and white students safetyism. The Ivies represent the elite's belief that they should have absolute rule over the masses, who they have just endless contempt for. And that's how Trump was banned in CO: [screencap]
Elite universities aren't institutions of learning but sites for reproducing status, elite belonging. These people truly believe they deserve to rule over average folks. Hence the Orwellian "We must protect the people from voting for their chosen candidate—to defend democracy!"
How can people say with a straight face they are defending democracy by barring the most popular candidate? The class divide in the US which apportioned over 50% of GDP to the credentialed elite convinced them they deserve to hoard not just the American Dream but the franchise. [thread]

Huh. My read on this is a bit muddy:
- my guess as to the reason for the Left trying to disqualify Trump is that they do not want to give up the illusion that a coup has not occurred in 2020. My guess is they feel like if they have to cheat as much as would be necessary, they are giving the game away that this is no longer a democracy and take away people's ability to question and equivocate.
- since this is no longer a democracy then, they have to turn to other means, that way people can blame this or that and not focus their anger.

I mentioned this earlier but it seems worth repeating.
The 3 dissenting judges went to law school at the University of Denver. The 4 who voted to bar Trump all went to Ivy League or adjacent law schools.
The reaction to this ruling seems to be splitting the Democrat Party a bit from old school traditional Democrats from the Obama communist wing.

As Col. Schlicter says, the Dems won't like it when we play by the rules they themselves instituted. Every red state AG should file suit to keep Joey Sponge-brain off their state ballots for committing "Treason, Bribery, [and] other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" to quote Art. 2 of the Constitution.

Posted by: 18-1 at December 20, 2023 11:23 AM (XqcwY)
Biden in 2020 (mumbling incoherently to 5 people): None of you know, for certain, that I'm one of the sleaziest scumbags to ever hold elected office.
None of you know, for certain, that I will hew to the Democrat party line and establish/re-establish rules and conditions which will cost you both money and freedom.
None of you know, for certain, that I shall work tirelessly (and, to be clear, by that I mean that I personally will do almost nothing) to destroy America and the west.

Still, your point is valid.

A neighbor, who is a dentist, had come into the hall to help. He told her, "SAY SOMETHING!", which she could not do. It was then that we realized that she was choking.
The dentist-neighbor immediately got into position, behind my wife, to attempt the Heimlich maneuver. He told her what he was doing, then he did the Heimlich bear-hug.
It is followed with a PSA image of the "universal choking sign".

It all smells like the GOPe "Hispanics are naturally conservative" lie that they were pushing for a while.

Considering the text of the opinion, if Trump or anybody seeks review of the ColSC ruling to the SCOTUS, then the ruling is stayed indefinitely until SCOTUS makes an opinion. SCOTUS doesn't even need to make an opinion for the stay to be held throughout the primary election and the ruling is in regards to the primary ballot.
The GOP ought to seek review pointing out the primary is theirs and not the state's.

I'm curious about the 4-3 count of the decision. I doubt they actually vote secretly and then count the votes.They must know during deliberations. Was there a reason to make it a close-run thing? They were all appointed by Dem governors. Did they think it would give them a fig leaf illusion of even-handedness?
_____
My understanding from posters on 'X' is that the 4 for votes are Ivy Leaguers and the 3 against votes are Denver Law School or something. Which leads me to believe that Ivy Leaguers are so poorly educated, they can't read the plain language, or alternatively, they are over-educated to the point of thinking their crap doesn't stink and they can deliver 'outcome-based' rulings that are better than actual law.

We're maybe 30%, and the squishy middle 40% has internalized most leftist shibboleths that have been pushed in the last 30 years.

There's always the squishy 40%. I think it's close to 25% on either side, with a squishy middle 50% but that's neither here nor there.
That middle chunk - which is somewhere in the neighborhood of half of people - will back the strong horse. It isn't about ideas or what's right, it's about fear and strength.
The Left is the strong horse, and will remain so until the non-leftist establishment fights and fights hard. Where they do, you get places like Florida. Where they don't, you get places like Colorado.

50-50 that they punt. I'm not sure exactly how the state-federal analyses works given this is a federal election governed by federal law but it's a state primary electoral system generally governed by state law. There's probably enough gray area in there for at least 4 of the judges to say the equivalent of "no standing." You know which particular cocksucker is likely to be one of those four.

I don't know how Colorado election law works and they probably have their lawyers working on this, but parties still have to follow the Constitution, and this was a ruling based on the Constitution.
There are a lot of idiocies here that are appealable, including the blurring of findings of fact and conclusions of law and questions of state versus federal due process. The Supremes are probably going to punt by holding the case until after the primary occurs and then dismiss it as moot. There may be a case out there to rule on the Insurrection Clause, but this may not be it.

9-85.500 Actions that May Have an Impact on an Election
Federal prosecutors and agents may never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party. Such a purpose is inconsistent with the Department's mission and with the Principles of Federal Prosecution. See § 9-27.260. Any action likely to raise an issue or the perception of an issue under this provision requires consultation with the Public Integrity Section, and such action shall not be taken if the Public Integrity Section advises that further consultation is required with the
Deputy Attorney General or Attorney General.

There should never be more ballots counted than registered voters.
81 million voted for Biden.
74 million + 81 million = 155 million.
Math be hard, yo.

And you are correct. CO's tech sector was fairly well-developed and so was a "low-cost alternative" for Silicon Valley grunt work. Lots of people flooded in from the Bay Area, and brought their creepy and evil attitudes with them.
Plus, the Party made CO into a laboratory on how to flip a state and then completely subvert it. The CO state Party is the most radical in the country.

If the primary election is held with Trump on the ballot, the case is moot and will be dismissed accordingly. If a caucus is held instead of the primary, the case is also moot and will be dismissed accordingly. The Supreme Court is going to sit on this and then dismiss it after Trump wins the Republican primary.
The only thing remaining of the decision is the civil finding of fact that Trump committed insurrection, which would have precedential authority for the general election in the Colorado courts. When the Colorado GOP files for the November ballot with Trup on it and the Secretary of State refuses to accept him, then the place the Colorado GOP should file for injunctive relief is in the federal District of Colorado. It will be granted, on due process grounds. The state of Colorado may appeal through the federal system, but it will lose.

I think this is happening because the uber left power elite are behind a massive global sex network of women and children. The upcoming release of Epstein's clients will just be a small tip of the iceberg. These powers have told their lackeys we cannot let any culturally conservative GOP person to win the presidency because we will lose everything. So they are doing increasingly crazy things to try and stop it. Trump has been identified as conservative enough, no one to his right will be allowed either; DeSantis was clearly not going to do that donor base wish so he has been now considered Hitler as well - thus the run to Haley, which should tell you all you need to know about her.
I don't know what will be the trigger to getting everyone willing to start actually fighting. My guess is we are getting pretty close. But all these low level dem lackeys are not in a good spot if things get hot. Interesting times.

@TJM, I cae up one ballot short once when running a polling place. The only conclusion I could come up with was that the voter probably put the ballot in her purse with her election materials and walked out with it, rather than putting it in the can.
The bigger problem is if a precinct reports more votes than the number of people who checked in.

"A shameless insurrectionist is running for president while under 91 felony indictments. To add to this historic situation, the Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday banned Trump from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot."
Trumpos real crime was beating Dems/Hillary in 2016. Thus the complete BS charges which Dems now accept as reality to keep him off the ballot and committing the same crime in 2024.
It is Kafkaesque in it's insane circular reasoning.

339 I’m more bothered by all the conservatives who believe if we can just get beyond Trump, the left and the media will have no GOP scandals to obsess about. Be it DeSantis or anyone else, the next non-Trump GOP presidential candidate is going to be a scandal-ridden Nazi who belongs in jail and is a “threat to democracy.” Yes I support DeSantis. But if he is the nominee, the left willl be unified in the belief that he needs to be barred from the ballot in Nov 24.

Compared to Trump? Oh yes.
There was plenty of invective and he was Literally Hitler and all that, but the FedGov didn't openly rebel and refuse to do their jobs because the Bad Chimp Man ordered them to, and the legislature didn't block everything he tried to do or refuse to seat his nominees (there were a couple of those, but it wasn't the norm).
Bush 43 was a team player, and I suspect that's what we'd see with a Haley.

50-50 that they punt. I'm not sure exactly how the state-federal analyses works given this is a federal election governed by federal law but it's a state primary electoral system generally governed by state law. There's probably enough gray area in there for at least 4 of the judges to say the equivalent of "no standing." You know which particular cocksucker is likely to be one of those four.

Now, sure, they could -erroneously- make that claim, but the fact is, the primary in question is in regards to the election of the president that has but two qualifications - 35 or older US born citizen - and the means they're using to ban him from the ballot is the federal constitution. Absolutely, 100% a question for SCOTUS

will be muted for the "right" kind of Republican. Nikki Haley would be subject to no more invective than Bush 43 was, possibly a bit less. It won't be rainbows and butterflies, but it won't be like it was with Trump. There's no reason for it to be, because she's on their team just like Bush 43 was.

Saving themselves. You got it.
There gets to be a point where corruption is not survivable without major reform and correction. Once at that point, reform and correction will blow up the power structure. Too many people go down. Too much money is on the line. Some of them likely literally die as a result of the correction.
But there is another option: accelerate. Go harder. Steal more. Purge more opponents. Kill more dissidents. Go whole hog until the entire damn thing collapses, and hope to get out in time.
So they're acclerating.

390 His main accomplishment was to make Medicare even more insolvent, and then to further screw up federal education law via no child left behind.
His credit was trying to get anyone in congress to realize the banking crisis facilitated by Dodd and Frank, but since he was never willing to publicly fight or defend himself most people don't know that. He barely beat Kerry - who is so annoying most people upon seeing him just want to punch him in the face.

It will be muted for the "right" kind of Republican. Nikki Haley would be subject to no more invective than Bush 43 was, possibly a bit less. It won't be rainbows and butterflies, but it won't be like it was with Trump. There's no reason for it to be, because she's on their team just like Bush 43 was.
Any Republican who is even *possibly* effective or an outsider, though, will get the Full Trump.

Other people have pointed out the major fuck ups like Medicare and NCLB (the spiritual predecessor of Common Core) and the Patriot Act, but lets also not forget how much of an EPIC disaster the Iraq War was. And the best one of all ? John fucking Roberts who proceeded to pervert constitutional interpretation to uphold the blatantly unconstitutional Obamacare and all but rubber stamp everthing Obama did.
There was so much backlash against this disaster that his presidency led DIRECTLY to Obama, and therefore, Biden. There is no way either of them could be the "worst ever" considering they were directly a result of the actual "worst ever" - GWB.

Someone may already have said this above, but if not: Even if the SC of the US overturns, NeverTrumpers--leftists posing as nominal Republicans--will use the Colo. ruling to increase their bleating that if the GOP nominates Trump we'll hand an easy win to the rat-bastard, cheating Democrats.
....Also, it's a measure of how left-wing Colorado has gotten that every one of the judges on its SC is a Democrat.

Okay, even the shithead Democrat judges can't prevent that, BUT...they say any write-in votes for Trump won't be counted.
....SO...the GOP needs to SUE the state of colorado for...wait for it..."voter SUPPRESSION"!
....Seriously. Since the U.S. Supreme Court has supported EVERY claim of "voter suppression" they'll have a far harder time reversing field and saying "DECREEING that voters can't do a write-in vote is NOT voter suppression."
....You're welcome.
