Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and Harvard Law professor-emeritus Alan Dershowitz analyze the latest theory on ‘Hannity.’ Wyoming’s Secretary of State Chuck Gray is working to rectify a Colorado judge’s ruling that labeled former President Trump an “insurrectionist” in an election case the Wyoming Republican argued should have been dismissed from the start. Gray filed an amicus curiae brief with the Colorado Supreme Court, joined by Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, calling for the dismissal of the case.
The lawsuit, brought forward by a group of Colorado voters, argued that Trump should be deemed ineligible from holding political office under a Civil War-era insurrection clause, and his name should thus be barred from appearing on the 2024 ballot. However, Colorado District Court Judge Sarah B. Wallace rejected the group’s calls to remove Trump’s name from the state’s primary ballot but ruled that Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021. Gray believes the case should have been dismissed and argues against the inclusion of the January 6 Commission report, which he considers biased.
Gray emphasizes the importance of defending the integrity of the electoral process and preventing the weaponization of American law to silence conservatives. He worries that these lawsuits are setting a dangerous precedent that could be used against anyone in the United States. Gray’s amicus curiae filing is part of his ongoing efforts to combat what he sees as a “disgusting strategy of election interference.”
While the article does not provide a comprehensive analysis of the case, it highlights Gray’s perspective and his stance against the labeling of Trump as an insurrectionist. It also touches on the potential consequences of such lawsuits and the need to protect the integrity of the election process.
