Another Twist in the Presidential Race
Things are getting even stranger in the presidential race!
Yesterday, the Colorado Supreme Court barred Donald Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prevents insurrectionists from holding office. They overturned a decision below, which had held that the 14th Amendment somehow doesn't apply to a President.
Now it will go-- almost certainly-- to the US Supreme Court. My own hunch is that there the Colorado decision will be overturned there on the theory that some showing has to be made that a person engaged in insurrection before the bar applies (despite the historical record to the contrary-- but this Supreme Court views history-following as a sometime thing).
This is going to be a very weird political season, and I suspect there are twists and turns ahead that no one is even imagining right now.

Was he afforded due process? Has he been formally charged as an insurrectionist in court? I stopped holding my breathe with regards to any favorable resolution regarding this man a long time ago. Now the thought of him winning again just gives me anxiety.
