2. Election chaos. If the Court allowed this Colorado decision to stand, then any other state could do the same against Trump or any Democrat candidate, meaning the election would be decided by a handful of states. That is not good for the country. And, neither is one state, arbitrarily taking a presidential candidate off their ballot, a legitimate action. This is probably why the 3 liberal Judges joined in to support the decision. They knew this is exactly what would happen and the Democrat nominee would then be taken off the ballot of many states. Here is a map of those states which have removed or are considering removing Trump. 3. Tyranny. For state politicians to just hold a 5-day mock trial brought by a left-wing anti-Trump group and find someone is guilty of insurrection is frightening. In addition, I'm not a lawyer, but, they probably don't have legal standing to make such a case. Further, this is the height of political tyranny. It is a charge that has not been formally brought against Trump or one that he has been found guilty of. This is the kind of thing all the dictators of the world have done, and still do, to maintain control in their countries. This is 'Putinesque'! To do this, they are hiding their tyranny behind the political narrative that Trump actually was tyrannical himself by trying to overturn the 2020 election. The facts don't support that narrative. But, it still enables those unethical politicians in Colorado, and other states, to make similar tyrannical, win by any means, decisions under that cover. It is good that the Court eliminated that tyrannical option. New options will be developed and pursued though. Whether you like Trump or not, this is the correct Constitutional and common sense ruling by the Court.

Terrible day for anyone who hates democracy. “We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States… pic.twitter.com/KTu904P4ue — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) March 4, 2024
