Fringe Theory to Ban Trump From the Ballot Advances

Democrats think they found a legal trick to stop Trump from winning.

It’s the real threat to democracy.

And this Supreme Court case could end Donald Trump’s campaign.

As Great American Daily reports:

As polls showed Donald Trump leading Joe Biden, Democrat-aligned groups adopted a new strategy.

Donald Trump can’t win the election if no one can vote for him.

Left-wing groups began filing suit in blue states across America to remove Trump from the ballot citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

Section 3 bans anyone who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the government from holding office.

Democrats want a court ruling to allow partisan election officials – Democrat secretaries of state – to unilaterally take Trump’s name off the ballot under the deranged theory Trump is ineligible to hold office.

Such a ruling would allow Democrat secretaries of state in Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona to erase Trump’s name off the ballot and close off any path to 270 Electoral College votes.

The case furthest along is in the deep-blue citadel of Colorado where the state Supreme Court – where all seven members are left-wing ideologues – will hear an appeal of lower court Judge Sarah Wallace’s ruling.

Wallace handed down a bizarre decision where she tossed the lawsuit on the grounds that the text of Section 3’s prohibition on holding office for engaging in insurrection never mentioned the office of the president, but that Trump led an insurrection.

“The Court finds that Petitioners have established that Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 through incitement, and that the First Amendment does not protect Trump’s speech,” Wallace ruled.

Not even rogue Democrat prosecutors like Jack Smith sought to charge Trump with leading an insurrection.

The Senate acquitted Trump in the impeachment trial for leading an insurrection.

But this ruling set the precedent that any partisan hack judge could falsely claim what took place on January 6 was an insurrection and treat their whims as carrying the force of a jury trial where prosecutors must first present evidence to a grand jury to obtain an indictment.

Colorado’s radical left-wing Secretary of State Jena Griswold is clearly itching for a decision allowing her to unilaterally strike Trump from the ballot.

 Griswold called Wallace’s ruling “pretty surprising” and strongly hinted that she was on board with the campaign to deploy fringe legal theories to deny the American people the right to vote for the president of their choice.

“I think it is important that a court of law has decided that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection,” Griswold told POLITICO. “The court’s decision to say the presidency is excluded from section 3 of the 14th Amendment is the really surprising part. Under that decision, Donald Trump is above the law when it comes to insurrection.”

Experts such as George Washington Law Professor Jonathan Turley called this “scheme” dangerous and described it as a stab at the heart of American democracy.

No matter what happens in the Colorado Supreme Court, this case is headed for the U.S. Supreme Court.
