• COSC ruled that Trump was ineligible to be on the ballot in CO for a Federal election, based upon their determination that Trump led an "insurrection" on Jan 6th. Obviously Trump wasn't offered due process with the ability to cross examine, offer testimony or evidence.
• From what I understand it will go to an Appellate court for appeal and whether it is upheld or denied, would then be appealed to SCOTUS.
• Keep in mind there is also the whole Jack Smith thing going on in DC charging that Trump led an insurrection on Jan 6th.
• Let's say the Appellate court stands with the COSC and their decision stands, eliminating Trump from the ballot. Trump now appeals and requests SCOTUS to get involved, which it should being a Federal election and clearly COSC is way out of their lane.
Does SCOTUS agree to hear the appeal and now will have to decide whether or not Trump incited an insurrection. Or do they kick it out and decline to hear it based on Jack Smith's current litigation.
This could go seven different ways from Sunday.
The CO Supreme Court can't simply determine Trump led an insurrection because they feel like it and use that as justification to keep him off the ballot. Only the president can invoke the Insurrection Act, allowing people to be charged with Insurrection. Democrat and media narratives don't count.
What insurrection? Riot maybe, but no insurrection. The US goobermint was NOT overthrown.
Independent of that, the very 14th amendment REQUIRES in the "Due Process Clause," that Trump would HAVE TO BE CONVICTED of...... but he wasn't, so we're DONE!
If it were an actual insurrection, the patriots wouldn't have left their guns at home
Actually it was
id think that if SCOTUS rules on it and trump is not guilty then jacks case is in the gutter and will be forced to drop it
