Six Colorado voters filed a lawsuit on Wednesday seeking to keep former President Donald J. Trump off the state’s ballots under the 14th Amendment, which says anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution after taking an oath to defend it is ineligible to hold office.

The lawsuit, which was filed in a state district court in Denver with the help of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, demands that the Colorado secretary of state not print Mr. Trump’s name on the Republican primary ballot. It also asks the court to rule that Mr. Trump is disqualified in order to end any “uncertainty.”

Election season has come. Here’s what you need to do to stop Trump from winning

What can the rest of us do between now and the election to help save American democracy? Let me try out a few answers:

Do everything within your power to ensure that Donald Trump is not re-elected president. For some of us, this will mean taking time out of our normal lives to become more directly politically involved – up to and including getting out the votes in critical swing states.
Do not succumb to the tempting anesthesia of complacency or cynicism. The stakes are too high. Even if you cannot take much time out of your normal life for direct politics, you will need to organize, mobilize and energize your friends, colleagues and neighbors.
Counter lies with truth. When you hear someone repeating a Trump Republican lie, correct it. This will require that you prepare yourself with facts, logic, analysis and sources.
Do not tolerate bigotry and hate. Call it out. Stand up to it. Denounce it. Demand that others denounce it, too.

The fact that we have to keep an orangutan off the ballot

to stop people from voting for it

shows us precisely where we are in the history of our collapsing republic.
 
Presidential centers from Hoover to Bush and Obama unite to warn of fragile state of

WASHINGTON (AP) — Concern for U.S. democracy amid deep national polarization has prompted the entities supporting 13 presidential libraries dating back to Herbert Hoover to call for a recommitment to the country’s bedrock principles, including the rule of law and respecting a diversity of beliefs.

The statement released Thursday, the first time the libraries have joined to make such a public declaration, said Americans have a strong interest in supporting democratic movements and human rights around the world because “free societies elsewhere contribute to our own security and prosperity here at home.”

“But that interest,” it said, “is undermined when others see our own house in disarray.”

I think this will be interesting to find out what the US Supreme Court court thinks!

Of course, with this version of Right Wing Activist Judges dominating the court, it would more than like be answered by whether they think Donald Trump should be representing their party or not! :laugh:

So, I'm not sure their feelings about the legality of the law would be honest, or if their feeling about whether they think Donald Trump running for president, would be a good idea or not, wouldn't affect their decision! :whoa:

INTERESTING QUESTION- NO DOUBT!

But, this is a sure sign, that Donald Trump continues to be a threat to our Democracy, but certainly presents another Democracy Crisis for our nation- AND SO DOES THIS SUPREME COURT!!

Because we definitely know, that our three most corrupt Republican Activist Justices- Alito, Thomas, and Goresuck- are always going to vote based on whatever is in the best interest of Donald Trump! :palm:

NEXT!

This is simply politically driven nonsense played by the most partisan Secretary of State that Colorado has ever known. She's gotten her friends to register as republicans and pretend to be "never Trumpers". Innocent until proven makes it clear that you cannot punish someone for something until you've proven it. This is going nowhere, and everybody here knows it. Trump will be on the primary ballots in every state. He's not even been indicted for "insurrection" let alone convicted after its been proven.

Actually it started for you in 2015 so take a moment to reflect on how many hours Donald Trump has dominated every aspect of your life. Jesus Christ man, you are one sick puppy.
I could not agree with much of obamas policies but at no time did i ever obsess day and night over his very existence. As for Brandon, his administration is a clown car full of inadequate and unqualified, but they all check all the boxes for the wokies so let the memes write themselves. I just post them for your pleasure.

You think that any post about Trump is "obsessed."

And just a reminder: it's a political message board, and Trump is easily the most dominant figure in American politics today.

So.....

He's been a prominent figure for awhile.

It's obvious that you're uncomfortable when people talk about him.

Quite the opposite. Every time his name is mentioned he seems to go up in the polls. People are tired of crazed democrat witch hunts.
