In September 2023, six Colorado electors led by former Senate Majority Leader Norma Anderson filed a lawsuit in Colorado State Court to have Donald Trump removed from the ballot under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, section 3, which states: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or an elector of the President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State which, after having has previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of a state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, in support of the Constitution of the United States, shall have been engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” The case became known as “Anderson v. Griswold,” for Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold. The state court in a decision written by Judge Sarah Wallace: On November 17, Wallace ruled that Griswold should keep Trump on the ballot, but declared that Trump engaged in insurrection based on a preponderance of the evidence. The plaintiff subsequently appealed the case to the Colorado Supreme Court. On December 19, the court ruled in a 4-3 per curiam decision(34) that Trump is disqualified from the primary ballot, reversing the district court’s ruling.(35) In its decision, the Colorado Supreme Court noted that not all other states have standards in place to pre-qualify candidates for primaries, citing Michigan’s primary framework; Michigan election law does not include the term “qualified candidate,” Michigan courts cannot explicitly review a candidate’s qualifications, and the Michigan Secretary of State’s responsibilities are limited in primaries. In contrast, Colorado election law gives the state more authority over the removal of a candidate.(36)

It turned out that Trump had not merely incited an insurrection, but participated in it.37 The Colorado Supreme Court did not find it necessary to define insurrection, instead ruling that “it is sufficient for us to conclude that any definition of “insurrection” for The objectives of Section Three would include a concerted and public use of force or the threat of force by a group of people to hinder or prevent the U.S. government from taking the actions necessary to effect a peaceful transition of power in to achieve in this country. The Colorado Republican Committee appealed this decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, which held that in an unsigned per curiam opinion dated March 4, 2024, Congress ruled that Congress, as set forth in Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, has exclusive authority to enforce section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment; as such, the courts (federal or otherwise) cannot declare a candidate unfit for office under said Section 3 unless an act of Congress expressly grants them that power. Furthermore, the opinion stated that “states have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency.”(84) The opinion also expressed concern that if this power were left to the states, it would lead to chaos before and after the elections and could disenfranchise voters.
The difference here is that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling applies to a “CANDIDATE.” Trump is now “president-elect.” And swearing him in as a convicted insurrectionist would violate Section Three of the 14th Amendment. It would be illegal!
The section further states, “But Congress, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, may eliminate any such disability.” That means that as currently constituted, 67+ Senators and 326+ Representatives would have to vote to abolish the disability, or 17+ Democrats in the Senate and 109 Democrats in the House of Representatives would have to join all Republicans in abolishing the disability. to abolish.
And they shouldn’t. Trump has shown no remorse for his actions, stating that he will pardon everyone involved and try to erase this from the nation. And JD Vance, who furthered Trump’s rigged election lies and documented support for the insurrection, should be disqualified as a conspirator.
WE THE PEOPLE, AMERICANS FOR DEMOCRACY, DEMANDED OR CONGRESSIONAL VOTES ON DISABILITY OR TRUMP AND VANCE ARE FORMALLY DISQUALIFIED!!!
