Former president and frontrunner for Republican 2024 presidential nomination also expected to file own appeal

The Colorado Republican Party has asked the US supreme court to intervene after Colorado’s top court disqualified former president Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s Republican primary ballot, an attorney for the Republican group said.

The appeal comes after the Colorado supreme court last week disqualified Trump because of his role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters. The court barred Trump under a US constitutional provision prohibiting anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office.

    All those justices must realize that if they help this fascist return to power, they will lose their positions, power, and more under the thumb of a narcissistic dictator who doesn’t need laws interpreted or upheld. To preserve themselves, SCOTUS must side with the Constitution against this Oath Breaker.

      I guess this would be my take as well. “Enlightened Self-interest”.
