As we all know, the Colorado courts have ordered Trump’s name removed from the Republican primary ballot of 2024 because he “encouraged insurrection” (yeah I know, he didn’t, there’s no proof, but that’s not gonna stop the Lefty craziness*). You can’t even write his name in, because the court ordered those ballots to be counted as “spoiled” and discarded.
Of course, this idiocy is going to the Supreme Court, where it should be struck down (and the Colorado courts’ collective pee-pee as well, don’t get me started).
But it might not be, because if there’s one thing we’ve learned about the Supreme Court as currently constituted is that what seems blindingly apparent to anyone with a sentient brain, is often just a way for them to apply some tortured fucking legal logic to gainsay the obvious.
Whatever.
Here, however, is a way for the Stupid Party to do something not stupid.
Simply refuse to hold a primary in Colorado. (They’re talking about doing the caucus thing — like Iowa does — but that’s not what I’m talking about here.) Boycott the state completely. Declare them “irrelevant”.
OR: let all the Republican weenies who are desperately trying to achieve relevance in the election field refuse to have their names on the ballot as well. Withdraw from the Colorado primary altogether.
Now of course that will never happen, because politicians are all greedy motherfuckers and all it takes is for one fat New Jersey politician to break the compact and the others would have to get back in. One might suggest that breaking such a compact would be a clear indicator that the fat fuck isn’t fit to be POTUS, but Joe Biden seems to have made the “fit to hold the office” thing completely irrelevant.
Anyway, this may all be moot because SCOTUS might actually tell Colorado that what they’ve done is un-Constitutional, which it plainly is, but then see my statement above about the Biggest Lawyers’ reliability.
What a mess.
*We need remember only one Leftist quote to prove this statement:
“To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail.” — Che Guevara
First the 14th amendment only applies to Senators, Representatives and electors. it does not apply to Presidents. Also enforcement of the amendment is restricted to the US Congress. The states have no authority to apply it.
But you don’t believe me listen to my new favorite Constructional Professor Alan Dershowitz . Even if he is from the Red School by the River.

There ya go, dragging that silly old Constitution thing into a legal argument again.
It’s a shame that once a judge’s decisions are overturned a few times that they aren’t disbarred and removed from the bench and left to clean up local dog parks. Same should happen with politicians when their laws are ruled unconstitutional. The bureaucrats who enforce these rotten laws should pay a price too. Too many in government do not bear any consequences to being wrong and that right there is an inherent problem with the system.
