Imagine a US State, a liberal US State, that files a lawsuit to bar former President Donald Trump from being on the State's primary ballot for allegedly supporting an insurrection. This is actually happening in Colorado, a liberal state, just 6 months prior to Colorado's GOP primary.

Now imagine the possibilities of other liberal US States filing similar lawsuits, within this same timeline. A timeline that may allow a liberal judge to rule, and little time for an injunction or summary judgement to pause or overrule the former judgement.

This could very well be the next-level election interference we should speak out against. Branches of government breaking the People's right to vote for another candidate prior to an election, and prior to any finding of guilt against a candidate.

It has become very extreme on how diabolical politics have become. This is like shooting a person in broad daylight in a restaurant, then sits down to have lunch at the next table, and half the people thinks this behavior is fine or supports it.

I know your pain. I know you're hurt. I know you're hurt, I know your pain. I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt. It's a very tough period of time. There's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election. But we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home, we love you. You're very special. You've seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home at peace.

The lawsuit, citing the 14th Amendment, is likely the initial step in a legal challenge that seems destined for the U.S. Supreme Court. It was filed on behalf of six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters by the group Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington

“We thought: ‘We’re constitutional scholars, and this is an important constitutional question. We ought to figure out what’s really going on here.’ And the more we dug into it,” he said, “the more we realized that we had something to add.”

What they added were 126 pages of airtight argument, from a conservative, originalist perspective, for the case to disqualify Trump. Federalist Society co-founder Steven G. Calabresi lauded it as “a tour de force.”

Yet making that case and enforcing it are two separate things. As a like-minded constitutional expert, Mark A. Graber, wrote in an earlier and shorter dive into Section 3, “The only question that remains is whether — and how — that will happen.”

Baude and Paulsen say the enforcers should be “anyone whose job it is to figure out whether someone is legally qualified” to hold office and to be included on state ballots — that is, state election administrators, typically the secretaries of state.
