Liberals Explore Other Ways to Disqualify Trump After Supreme Court Shoots Down Colorado’s Ballot Ban
6th March 2024
The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision Monday shut down state efforts to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot but left a few options open for Democrats seeking to disqualify him, which some began exploring soon after the ruling dropped.
Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin already said he is working on a bill that would create a pathway to disqualify candidates, stating it is “good news” the Supreme Court did not challenge the Colorado court’s finding that Trump engaged in insurrection. Rather, the Supreme Court ruled against Colorado on the basis that it is Congress, not the states, that has the power to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against federal officials and candidates.
Apparently, ‘our democracy’ is making sure people don’t have the opportunity to make the Wrong Choice. Good that we cleared that up.
