Comments by "nuqwestr" (@nuqwestr) on "Harvard scholar predicts how Supreme Court will rule on key Trump legal battles" video.
No, that's not it at all. States have control of their elections, have laws, but they take an oath to follow the intent of the law. Colorado qualification law was never meant to be used in this way, and there was no time for due process, which the Colorado Chief Justice said in his dissent. We have a law on the books which covers insurrection and sedition, the 14th Sec 3 is antiquated and moribund.

Colorado was 4/3 and the Chief Justice dissented. Have you read the dissent?

Read the dissent by Chief Justice of Colorado, no time for due process which Trump's 14th amendment. Trump never had his day in court. Neither the 14th Sec 3 or the Colorado qualification law was meant to be used in this way. Sec 3 is moribund, as new law supersedes it. SCOTUS will also hear the NM precedent cited in Colorado, Couy Griffin. SCOTUS will put an end to the use of Sec 3. Good riddance.

What? The Chief Justice in Colorado who wrote the dissent is a member of the GOP?

@ernststravoblofeld da nile is not just a river in Egypt.

@bernardbarry447 At least you know and acknowledge the facts, a rare starting point for discussion these days.

@ernststravoblofeld I agree, bumper stickers are NOT an argument.

@ernststravoblofeld Couy Griffin case from New Mexico also on SCOTUS docket, time will tell and toll for the 14th in this context. Stay tuned.

Trump was not "prosecuted" in Colorado, his eligibility was challenged. He was not even a litigant, the Sec of State and GOP were.

SCOTUS will end the use of the 14th Sec 3, and good riddance, we have newer laws which cover treason and sedition.

No, I see it the other way, as did the Chief Justice of Colorado, Boatright. There was no time for due process. Colorado law was never meant to block someone based on 14th Amendment, only based on statutory qualifications like Age, etc.. Slam Dunk for SCOTUS.

Trump did not, and your assertion is a feeling, not material fact. Read the Colorado dissent, read the petition, read section 3 and 5 of the 14th Amendment.

@bellicosepariah6609 Exactly, since Sec 3 even uses the words "Aid and Comfort". SCOTUS will end the use of Sec 3 forever. We have newer laws on sedition and treason.

Nonsense. Trump did NOT ask for votes to be created, but "found". The GOP led petition, ANDERSON vs GRISWOLD, is filled with nonsense about Trump being a White Nationalist and threat to the Constitution, as if he's the reincarnation of Jefferson Davis. Read the petition, full of absolute nonsense, not material fact.

@MarkSav1 No, Trump was not on the Colorado petition, only as cross-appellant. Due process was cited in regard to Colorado qualification law, which the Chief Justice wrote in his dissent, there was no time for due process as the Colorado law was never meant to include 14th Sec 3, only qualifications like age, etc.. SCOTUS will end Sec 3, good riddance.

@WeDontHaveToBreed88 No, the law in Colorado is clear, and Anderson et al had legal standing to file the petition. SCOTUS will not even consider your assertion in this case.
1
@WeDontHaveToBreed88 New Mexico removed Couy Griffin from office based on 14th Sec 3, last time it was used 1869. Griffin also on SCOTUS docket, I believe. I expect 14th Sec 3 to go down. Good riddance.
1
@MarkSav1 Trump was not named as a plaintiff in the petition. Read it, it's online. The named plaintiffs were Sec of State Griswold and State GOP. The dissent made the case there was no time for a fair trial based on this qualification challenge. Read the dissent.
1
Anderson vs Griswold cited the New Mexico case of Couy Griffin, also to be heard by SCOTUS. Tribe and MSNBC are gaslighting y'all, this 14th amendment challenge is gone, and for good. It was never meant to be used in this way.

SCOTUS will decide based on Colorado Chief Justice dissent, time and due process.
