Well, as I expected, they didn’t keep him off the ballot.
A Colorado judge has rejected an attempt to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot based on the claim that he is constitutionally barred from office because of the January 6, 2021, insurrection.
The major decision issued Friday by Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace comes after judges in Minnesota and Michigan also refused to remove Trump from that state’s Republican primary ballots….
…..Wallace said she was keeping the former president on the ballot because the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban” does not apply to presidents, though she found that “Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 through incitement, and that the First Amendment does not protect Trump’s speech.”
I didn’t expect this to pass, for a different reason---I thought because it hadn’t been adjudicated in court they couldn’t keep him off. It seemed to me that they couldn’t do it unless the due process was complete.
Whatever reason, he’s still on the ballot
