There may be a lot more design and malice to the Colorado Supreme Court ruling than is first apparent. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
an internet cat puts on his thinking cap and asks “cui bono”?
as those of you not currently living in ice caves without internet or news have likely noticed, colorado courts took the extraordinary step of disqualifying donald trump from their 2024 presidential election ballot through an extremely aggressive and quite probably an absurdist interpretation of some US law holdovers from post civil war political jim crow.
at core here lies sec 3 of the 14th amendment.
but the bill of rights is silent on how one is to determine who has engaged in such insurrection or rebellion. it punts to congress.
and congress did this establishing a law allowing both civil and criminal route to removing “undesirable” politicians regardless of their popularity.
this law went into effect in 1870 to make sure that only “the right” sort of people could hold office in the south (in ominous augury, an obvious and specific targeting of political enemies) and was repealed and then replaced in 1948.
Wasn’t almost all of the CPUSA (D) “by any means necessary” crowd involved in this insurrection Kabuki?
It was as bad as the WAR of 1812 as the pearls get clutched. (sniffle)
The J6 committee as well.
I love a good double edged sword and all tactics work both ways.
Dank memelords have struck with an Ape Lincoln photochop on Trump and the caption…the CPUSA has only ever taken two Grand Old Politburo (R) candidates off the ballot. (ht-WRSA)
I see what you did there and tip my hat.
