Denver judge says the 14th Amendment argument does not apply to former President Trump as "officers of the United States" did not intend to include the president. She orders the Colorado Secretary of State to place him on next year's primary ballot.

@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.

@TwiHusband

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 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.

@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.

@TwiHusband

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 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.
