If it was really that easy to toss presidential candidates off the ballot, you'd see Red states tossing out Democratic candidates and Blue states tossing out Republican candidates, en masse. U.S. Supreme Court is never going to let things go down that road.
@Joe_Hill I mean, that claim has been well debunked.
@volkris Judge Wallace ruled that he participated in an insurrection. Sec 3 of the 14th amendement disqualifies from public office anyone who participated in an insurrection or gave aid or comfort to the enemies of the US.
What, exactly, has been “debunked?”
@Joe_Hill Believe it or not, sometimes judges get things wrong.
So we know that claims about Trump's involvement have been debunked by the record, looking at how what people have said he said didn't quite match with what he actually said, with the actual record from raw recordings.
Who knows what's going on with this judge. Others have resoundingly rejected the claims, so Wallace is not exactly a stellar arbiter of the truth here.
Anyway, all of this attention ends up supporting Trump's re-election bed, and I sure wish we would stop playing into his hands like this.
@Joe_Hill so if you read the ruling, it's not exactly true to the record.
You say like it or not, but really I don't care. I don't live in Colorado. I actually don't care what they rule. They can find whatever the hell they want for their own citizens.
This ruling is obviously wrong because it gets the facts wrong. It gaslights the citizens of the state, but again, none of my business.
PS, I have no idea why any of my replies would be hidden that's just how this platform works apparently, I have no idea what any of that is about.
Seems pretty fitting for this topic though
@volkris
Debunked where? Gym Jordan’s “Weaponization of DOJ” committee? Bannon’s War Room podcast?
Judge Wallace issued a finding of fact and the CO Supreme Court affirmed it. Like it or not, that’s how it works in our judicial system.

ps: I’m out. For some reason your replies are hidden. I’m tired of digging them out.
