@Smersh Trump judge. Nazi jurist.
@TwiHusband bad take.
Colorado judges are appointed by the governor, in this case the DEMOCRAT Jared Polis appointed her earlier this year.
@Smersh Biden appointed Merrick Garland. A serious mistake in my estimation. Democrats are not incapable of error, nor are they immune to having the wool pulled over their eyes.
I would probably be one of the last on CoSo to argue that Democrats are perfect. 😉
IMO it's playing the same game that the right does when we immediately view court rulings through a partisan lens. Yes, many rulings are political (most?), but we also need to be able to know when someone has found a loophole and the constitution needs mending.
Although, good luck getting 2/3s of States to agree on a fix in our hyperpartisan environment...
@Smersh Not for nothing, but every time we try to keep it "non-partisan", while the Right goes hyper-partisan (note: there is no actual 'moderate right' anymore) we end up getting our brains beaten out with a gerrymandered shovel. It's gotten really old the last 50 years or so.
Sounds like a Dem candidate quality problem. 🤷♂️
This whole case is a moot point anyways because Colorado isn't giving our delegates to Trump --whether or not he's on the ticket.
There is however, a very real chance that we and other, non-coastal states will give our delegates to a "not Biden" candidate should the Reps choose to run someone not on trial.
@Smersh I rest my case.
@Smersh I mean if Trump makes them gag, but your average run of the swastika Republican doesn't even give them pause, there's no point in even trying to sway them.
@Smersh Ah, a Constitutional Convention. The Kochs' wet dream. At our current state, I half expect them to introduce an amendment, any day now, repealing the 19th.
As for loopholes, that why a "good" judge sits on the bench. To exercise common sense, and not allow a square peg to be hammered through a round hole.
