On March 1st I posted a list of all the ways Democrats “Defend Democracy!“. One of the ways Progressive politicians and judges in Democrat-run states like Colorado, Maine, and Illinois are trying to do it is to ban Trump from their election ballots by claiming he’s an “Insurrectionist” under Clause 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
And here’s what the Supreme Court had to say about it:
—————————————————
“We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 [of the 14th Amendment] with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”
– Supreme Court of the United States, 601 U. S. ____ (2024), No. 23-719, “Trump v. Anderson“, March 4th, 2024
—————————————————
Did you know? The phrase “PER CURIAM” is Latin for “By the court”, and means all nine Supreme Court Justices, including the Liberal Justices appointed by Barack Hussein Obama – Elena Kagen, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson – agreed that Colorado Democrats couldn’t “Defend Democracy” by banning Donald J. Trump from their election ballot.
Thanks for Reading!
