Supreme Court Ruling Keeps Trump’s Name on Colorado Ballots, Exposes Radical Left’s “Pure Lunacy”
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of former President Donald Trump, allowing his name to remain on Colorado primary ballots. This ruling is being hailed as a victory for democracy and a clear indication of the radical left’s “pure lunacy,” according to Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray.
The lawsuit, brought by a group of Colorado voters, argued that Trump should be deemed ineligible for political office due to his actions on January 6, 2021, when supporters breached the U.S. Capitol. They claimed that this violated a clause in the 14th Amendment, which prevents individuals who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the Constitution from holding political office.
The Colorado Supreme Court initially ruled to bar Trump from the ballot, stating that he had “incited and encouraged” violence to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. However, Trump appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ultimately sided with him.
Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray has been a staunch advocate for Trump’s inclusion on primary ballots and has been critical of the arguments put forth by Democrats. He called their claims “bunk” and predicted their failure. Gray filed an amicus curiae brief with the Colorado Supreme Court and later with the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing for Trump’s right to appear on the ballot.
Gray emphasized the national interest in the case, stating that when one state denies electors to a presidential candidate, it affects every other state. He believes that all 50 states had a stake in this decision, especially those with later primaries or caucuses, like Wyoming.
The Wyoming Secretary of State has faced backlash from the state legislature and local media for his efforts. An amendment in the Wyoming House’s budget bill aims to prevent him from filing amicus briefs in the future. Gray finds this troubling and believes that the Colorado case was of national importance, not just limited to Colorado or Wyoming.
Legal experts had speculated about the Supreme Court’s ruling based on the oral arguments presented. Justice Elena Kagan questioned whether one state should decide on behalf of the entire country who should be president. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson challenged the assertion that there was no ambiguity in the 14th Amendment.
Gray expressed that the unanimous ruling was not surprising based on the oral arguments and believes that the Colorado case and similar attempts to remove Trump from the ballot are examples of the radical left’s “Trump derangement syndrome” and produce nonsensical arguments.
Former President Trump celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision as a “great win for America.” He emphasized the importance of presidential immunity and stated that without it, the presidency would become a ceremonial position, putting the country at great risk.
In conclusion, the Supreme Court’s ruling to keep Trump’s name on Colorado primary ballots is seen as a victory for democracy and a rebuke of the radical left’s arguments. Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s inclusion on the ballot and believes that this decision is in the national interest. The case highlights the ongoing divide between conservatives and Democrats over the former president’s actions on January 6th and his eligibility for political office.
