Trump Ballot Trial to Begin in Colorado

Timothy Birdnow

A trial is set to determine if Donald Trump can be kept off the Colorado ballot for violating the 14th amendment.

The claim is he led an insurrection and is not eligible to run.

FTA:

"Donald Trump tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election,” says the lawsuit, which was filed on Sept. 6 in Denver District Court. "His efforts culminated on January 6, 2021, when he incited, exacerbated, and otherwise engaged in a violent insurrection at the United States Capitol by a mob who believed they were following his orders, and refused to protect the Capitol or call off the mob for nearly three hours as the attack unfolded.”

Similar lawsuits have been filed, and in some cases dismissed, in states including Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan. But the Colorado case — the first to be filed by CREW, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., and the first to go to trial — represents the most substantial test for such efforts to date. CREW represented plaintiffswho cited the 14th Amendment in a successful suit to remove from office Couy Griffin, a county commissioner in Otero County, New Mexico, who had participated in the Jan. 6 attack.

How do you do that when Mr. Trump was exhonerated by Congress in his impeachment, and never convicted of insurrection  in a court of law?

The Democrats and other enemies of Mr. Trump are vile tyrants. They do not follow the rule of law. IF this law were applicable then Mr. Trump should have first had to be convicted. 

We are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in America. Or used to be anyway.

Only a tyranny does that.
