Colorado has reclaimed respect lost when Lauren became their representative. Donald Trump, as of now, will not be listed as a candidate in the primary presidential election of the state.
Despite claims made by Senator Thomas Tillis (R/SC) that the action is the work of far-left extremists in the Democratic Party, it was six republican and independent voters from Colorado who invoked the provision in a lawsuit this fall meant to keep Trump off the ballot.
In November, after a week-long trial, Denver District Judge Sarah B. Wallace inexplicably ruled that, yes, Trump had engaged in an insurrection, but despite that, he could remain on the ballot because she determined Section 3 does not apply to those running for president. She was mistaken, and the ruling corrected. Read it and interpret it for yourself.
Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights:
• Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
• Amdt14.S3.1 Overview of Disqualification Clause
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
This week that ruling was appealed, and the Colorado Supreme Court has barred Trump from participating in the upcoming Colorado presidential primary.
Don’t get excited. In fact, that is a rule we should always follow. Until the phat lady finishes singing and goes home, don’t celebrate anything.
Trump’s campaign will undoubtedly send this case to the Trump supporting U.S. Supreme Court.
SCOTUS Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from this process because his wife was involved in planning 1/6. He won’t. The U.S. Supreme Court would be wise to refuse to take the case, allowing the state ruling to stand. Will they? It doesn’t matter. It is unlikely to alter election results because Colorado is not a swing state.
The seven swing states in 2020 were: Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada. Similar lawsuits were attempted but failed in Michigan and Minnesota.
Despite the underwhelming bottom line, it is fun to see Trump scramble.
The only way we can save ourselves is to vote for President Biden. What do I mean by that? Preserve Social Security, Healthcare, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, student debt relief, equal taxation (tax the damn rich to reduce the deficit) etc.
If you hear anyone say that plan to “vote their conscience” by voting for a third party, congratulate them for falling victim to propaganda and ignoring established historical results. We have a system that only lends itself to two parties. Independent aspirants cannot win, they know that, and their intention is only to spoil the democratic candidate’s chances. The money trail of third-party candidates, including RFK Jr, Jill Stein, No Labels, etc., leads to Republican donors with ties to Putin.

A lot from Lydia 
I’m going to enjoy the moment while I can. Something about watching his attorneys scramble brings joy to my heart.
