Chicago Attempts to Bar Trump from 2024 Ballot
In a move backed by George Soros, a lawsuit aimed at preventing Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballot in Colorado has taken center stage this week. The suit, orchestrated by Soros-funded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), alleges that the former president is disqualified due to his alleged role in the January 6 riot.
The Details: The legal challenge asserts that Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, commonly referred to as the ‘Insurrection clause,’ which states that “No person shall [be President] who… engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”
The Big Picture: From the outset, the left, including politicians and the media, have consistently labeled the events of January 6 as an “insurrection,” and this lawsuit aligns with that narrative.
Backing Down: Similar attempts by Democrats were made in New Hampshire, but the case was ultimately dismissed.
Why It Falls Short: Trump’s legal team argues that for him to be disqualified for inciting an “insurrection,” he would have had to face prior charges related to such actions, which has not occurred.
Trump’s Defense: Emphasizing his calls for peace on January 6, with the reminder that he urged supporters to act “peacefully and patriotically,” his lawyers seek to distance him from the riot while challenging the definition of “insurrection.”
Real Talk: Legally, this case appears weak, but the concern lies in the possibility of a radical, far-left Colorado court ruling against Trump. Such a scenario could set the stage for a high-stakes showdown at the Supreme Court.
