I predict the Supreme Court will overturn the Colorado decision to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot (Page 10): What happened to "let the courts" decide as in Gore?

Absolutely!! Let the voters decide. Don't be so afraid of this guy that you don't want a head-to-head contest to play out.

Let he voters decide absolutely. Let Trump be on the ballot. If he loses, so be it.

What in the hell are you talking about, Trump already lost when he instigated J6 fiasco.

And, they'll resolve this constitutional question also.

Not if Trump remains off the ballot. It would be a vote of judges, not the registered voters in the state.

Judges with the final decision.

Since trump made himself ineligible or disqualified for state primaries according to their interpretation of 14A, then that's on him.

Trump and MAGA sure wanted Obama to be disqualified under the "birther" conspiracy lies--were you screaming "let the voters decide" then, or would you have been okay with Obama being kept off state ballots if conspiracy was correct? I would.

You digress. The point of this is that many of us think the issue should be / have been left up to the voters via a head-to-head vote. I would have been fine with leaving the birther issue up to the voters but, as I recall, it never made it to the ballots so that's a moot point.

But, it's a disqualifier just like engaging in insurrection or rebellion. Let the laws prevail.

I remember the defenses of Trump's behavior at trying to influence court rulings and pressure electoral processes that he should take advantage of all legal avenues available to him. Sometimes you're the goose; sometimes you're the gander.

Your preference (as is mine) is inconsequential to 14A, section 3.

I just read where Rand Paul has the same thought.

This whole thing is absolute B.S. It's the democrat politicians who are doing everything they can do to keep Trump from being re-elected. They're afraid of him. The only thing they're trying to do is remove republican voters right to vote the person they want in. The tool they've used, the constitution, is so vague in that the person doesn't have to be proven to have committed this only to be said to have done so. Unfortunately the scotus won't see this before Jan 4th when they print their ballots. I don't care who you are or what you believe, this is wrong. Many democrats also feel this way. Even though they hate Trump.

There are questions?

Can they? SCOTUS will decide
Should they? We each have our own opinions on that. There will be fallout and whether it's wise or not will ultimately depend on the consequences of the actions.

The lefty's are so afraid that Trump will beat Biden they will do anything to stop him. Let the voters decide. And it is not Colorado that is doing it, it is the far left in Colorado who do not speak for all the residents. This will be overturned shortly.
