9-0 And Down Colorado Goes

The US Supreme Court just gave an important corrective ruling to Colorado and other Democrats and progressives trying to prevent Trump from appearing on their state ballots. 

Far from a partisan decision, this one was unanimous and Colorado's rather dubious barely legal arguments didn't get far at all.

You can read the decision for yourself here - Trump v Anderson.

In short, the States do not have the ability nor the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.  Instead it is up to Congress,  and not the States to enforce the section.

IMHO, those judges should be removed from office. Judges are supposed to be fair and impartial or, at least, appear that way. Those jackals went way beyond the pale of prejudice against Trump. I'm not a lawyer (nor have I played one on TV) but it certainly seems to me they have no legal credibility remaining whatsoever.

juvat: Yep it was certainly the "Get Trump" outcome determinative on their part. Regardless of whether you like Trump or not, the Colorado Supreme Court and other's legal argument on this was ridiculous,
