WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court announced Friday that it will decide on a fast-track basis whether former President Trump can be barred from the 2024 ballot because he “engaged in insurrection” after losing his reelection bid in November 2020.
The justices granted an appeal from Trump and his lawyers that seeks to overturn a Colorado Supreme Court decision that would remove Trump from that state’s ballot.

The court said it would hear arguments on the case on Feb. 8.

The announcement sets the stage for what could be a momentous and unprecedented decision on whether the front-runner in polls for this year’s Republican presidential nomination could be disqualified by a high court with six Republican appointees.

In their appeal, Trump’s lawyers argued the political parties and their voters should decide who is on the ballot, not judges.

The justices did not say which questions that would decide. Trump’s lawyers cited several procedural reasons for tossing out the state court ruling.

In a 4-3 decision, the Colorado Supreme Court judges said Trump was disqualified from holding office again because he violated a provision of the 14th Amendment adopted after the Civil War that bars from office any federal or state officials who took an oath to support the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the United States.

Trump’s lawyers argue this provision cannot be enforced nationwide because Congress has not passed a law to set rules for the 50 states.

States are divided on Trump’s eligibility for the ballot. While Minnesota and Michigan have refused to disqualify Trump, Maine’s secretary of state joined Colorado in saying he should be excluded from the ballot.

The justices may also consider a claim by some legal academics that the president is not an officeholder under the provision of the 14th Amendment. They note it refers to senators and representatives in Congress and to electors, but not the president.

Many other states have also Cal., Virginia, as two that come to mind

No of course he didn’t. Why would anyone, let alone republicans, who filed the Colorado suit even thinking that.

So he had a hissy fit and tried to overturn election so that he could maintain immunity.

He could have done such great things for America had he succeeded in his attempted coup.

Democracy is so overrated. Just ask Donny’s puppet master Putin. Democracy sucks.


You are acting the fool, Rascal, and you are succeeding beyond your usual efforts.

Go ahead. Say it again. But a billion repeats still will not make it true. No charges. No conviction. No insurrection.

If a person commits a crime and does not get ‘caught’ the crime was not committed. 😂

I am not a Biden disciple. Not even a supporter. So no problem for me if he is held accountable for actual crimes.

Incorrect.
But it IS true that if a person is accused of a crime, and no one can prove it in a court of law, then the accused can NOT be condemned, harassed, or called guilty.
Your personal opinion, or anyone else's, is immaterial.
There are literally THOUSANDS of cases where the innocent have been accused incorrectly.
There have been people who spent years decades even, in prison.....ones who died in prison.....ones who swung by the neck until dead......who were determined afterwards to be innocent.
You are Canadian. Perhaps you do not understand the concept. Or perhaps you just do not care, because as a certified left-winger, the ends ALWAYS justify the means.....as long as you get what you want.

I think the Colorado republicans made a big mistake in suing to get Trump off the ballot.

Same with the Maine removal. Short term gain, long term pain.

In the case of the Biden Crime Family, if you get caught, the crime was not committed.

The Colorado "Republicans" were RINOs who were being represented by CREW, a left-leaning group of lawyers based in Washington, DC.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/six-colorado-voters-file-lawsuit-remove-trump-2024-ballot-rcna103660

The petitioners include former Rep. Claudine Schneider, a registered Republican who represented a congressional district in Rhode Island from 1981 to 1991, and endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008, Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020; Norma Anderson, who served as majority leader in the Colorado House and Senate; and Krista Kafer, a conservative columnist for the Denver Post, who said she would vote for Trump in 2020. Anderson left the Republican Party in 2021, but CREW confirmed to NBC News that she rejoined the GOP a year later.


Maine's unelected Democrat Secretary of State took it upon herself to remove Trump from Maine's ballots after watching the January 6 unselect committee's one-sided kangaroo court production.

If there’s a bigger case of election interference than Colorado, I’d like to see it!

Not cowards pr. But seeing how everyone that's a dem gets protection from crazy nut jobs THEY DONT they and their families are left to take care of themselves. It is a federal offense to go to a officials home OR job and riot or protest yet we see them do it all the time with encouragement from the likes of Pelosi or Shumer and the like never see any including the higher ups pay a price.

That's my point. If one person or a committee took away my ability to vote based on "what they believe", I'd be pissed off. Democrats always accuse the right of suppressing speach, but yet here's another example of them suppressing speach.

Excellent point!!! Their fearless leader is trying to keep the ship from sinking, but it's like the Titanic...there is no saving of the ship!
