Republican leaders and prominent legal analysts have expressed a collective sense of dismay in response to the recent decision by Colorado’s all-Democrat Supreme Court, ruling that former President Trump must be excluded from the state’s 2024 election ballot due to an alleged violation of the 14th Amendment’s Insurrection Clause. The ruling has sparked a wave of criticism from figures within the Republican Party as well as legal experts who view it as a contentious and politically charged move.
Laura Ingraham, the host of “The Ingraham Angle,” highlighted the timeline of events, emphasizing that the term “insurrection” had been widely employed by Democrats and Trump opponents since the onset of the January 6 riot in 2021. Notably, Ingraham pointed out that Trump has not been formally convicted of insurrection or any statutes from the Confederacy era alluded to in the 14th Amendment. She underscored the internal divisions within the Colorado Supreme Court, which, despite being entirely composed of Democrats, exhibited a split decision with a narrow 4-3 ruling. This internal dissent suggests that even within the Democratic ranks, there were reservations about making such a consequential determination.
The Colorado Supreme Court, recognizing the significance of its decision, issued a stay until the first week of January, allowing Trump’s legal team an opportunity to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court before the state’s ballot is finalized. The Trump campaign promptly announced its intention to take the case to the highest court in the land.
Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, asserted that Democrats are gripped by a “state of paranoia” regarding Trump’s popularity and have “lost faith in the failed Biden presidency,” leading them to resort to removing the Republican frontrunner from the ballot.
Bret Baier, anchor of “Special Report,” highlighted the broader implications of Colorado’s ruling, suggesting that its gravity might not be fully understood yet. Similar legal actions are pending in several other states, including Wyoming, West Virginia, South Carolina, Alaska, Texas, Wisconsin, Nevada, Virginia, New Mexico, New Jersey, Oregon, New York, and Vermont. In these states, the adjudication of Trump’s eligibility for the ballot remains unresolved, further intensifying the political and legal battles surrounding the former president’s participation in the 2024 election.
