PO1 William "Chip" Nagel thanks brother William. Well said and profoundly conveyed. The 14th Amendment is a powerful one for sure.

I do not like Trump and wish both he and Biden would enjoy retirement. That said, all of the people that have moved to keep him off ballots have been opinions. Colorado Supreme Court is in place to check laws appropriate with the Colorado Constitution, not the US Constitution. Ms Bellows is Secretary of State and her decision is strictly an opinion. No one should be happy taking the decision who they vote for away from the voters. Let the voters speak.

The problems Trump is not eligible to be on the ballot in the first place as he disqualified himself under Section 3 of the 14th AMENDMENT. So if you are not qualified to be on the ballot how can people vote for you.
In order to get on the ballot, a candidate for president of the United States must meet a variety of complex, state-specific filing requirements and deadlines. These regulations, known as ballot access laws, determine whether a candidate or party will appear on an election ballot. These laws are set at the state level. A presidential candidate must prepare to meet ballot access requirements well in advance of primaries, caucuses, and the general election. Therefore if a state decides that you participated in an insurrection or gave aid and comfort to the enemy they can keep you off the ballot. It's a States Rights thing so many here love to preach about and then when a state exercises its rights that they do not agree with they get their panties in a wad.

SGT (Join to see) - In the Colorado case, the Colorado Supreme Court role is to determine if a law is constitutional under the State Constitution of Colorado. The 14th amendment so many are listing is the United States Constitution, not something it is their role to decide, that is for SCOTUS. If it is a states right issue, why is it not being determined by the legislative branch of Colorado?
