This is what an *actual* attack on democracy looks like: in an un-American, unconstitutional, and *unprecedented* decision, a cabal of Democrat judges are barring Trump from the ballot in Colorado. Having tried every trick in the book to eliminate President Trump from running in this election, the bipartisan Establishment is now deploying a new tactic to bar him from ever holding office again: the 14th Amendment. I pledge to *withdraw* from the Colorado GOP primary unless Trump is also allowed to be on the state’s ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley to do the same immediately - or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous consequences for our country.
Today’s decision is the latest election interference tactic to silence political opponents and swing the election for whatever puppet the Democrats put up this time by depriving Americans of the right to vote for their candidate of choice.
The 14th Amendment was part of the “Reconstruction Amendments” that were ratified following the Civil War. It was passed to prohibit former Confederate military and political leaders from holding high federal or state office. These men had clearly taken part in a rebellion against the United States: the Civil War. That makes it all the more absurd that a left-wing group in Colorado is asking a federal court to disqualify the 45th President on the same grounds, equating his speech to rebellion against the United States.
And there’s another legal problem: Trump is not a former “officer of the United States,” as that term is used in the Constitution, meaning Section 3 does not apply. As the Supreme Court explained in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (2010), an “officer of the United States” is someone appointed by the President to aid him in his duties under Article II, Section 2. The term does not apply to elected officials, and certainly not to the President himself.
The Framers of the 14th Amendment would be appalled to see this narrow provision—intended to bar former U.S. officials who switched to the Confederacy from seeking public office—being weaponized by a sitting President and his political allies to prevent a former President from seeking reelection. Our country is becoming unrecognizable to our Founding Fathers.

@Eweather13 Is this over a period of time, or like all at once? I’m in central CT and I have to say, I’m starting to panic

@BeebeForOregon @JoJoFromJerz I don’t even understand your argument here. He had access to a gun he should not have had access to. End of story.

@tracyQ237 @JoJoFromJerz He would have used other means.

@BeebeForOregon @JoJoFromJerz Dude. With the gun. Clearly it is his fault for using the gun, but if he didn’t have a gun to use…. 🤯

@tracyQ237 @JoJoFromJerz The point is that the person did it. Not the gun

@BeebeForOregon @JoJoFromJerz Well he didn’t kill everyone with a broomstick

@brushing21 @sacullu @TopDrawerMike @exemplaragnitor @brentdavis @ianmiles Yup, tells me everything I need to know about a person

@sacullu @TopDrawerMike @exemplaragnitor @brentdavis @ianmiles I can’t believe people actually admit to how sorry they are. Making someone’s job more difficult because it’s their “job” is infuriating.

@emilykmay I take great comfort from this passage where he describes meeting God. I hope that whatever comes after this life for us, he has found peace.

@emilykmay His memoir was one of the saddest I’ve read. However it was a privilege to do so. If anyone has struggled with addiction, or struggled to find compassion for those with addiction, I highly recommend the read. Better yet, get the audiobook and listen to him tell his own story.
