  1. The Colorado Supreme Court did find Donald Trump guilty of insurrection, and it was necessary that they do so before they could invoke 14/3. The federal prosecution is ongoing.

  2. What is an insurrection, as defined in the 19th century in which the term was used in 14-3?

  3.  @ColoJan  Yeah, they had to play it cool as long as they were outnumbered. Then as more law enforcement arrived, they adjusted back into their enforcement role. Or did all the visitors see that visiting hours were coming to a close and just peacefully headed home? Didn't the visitors know those FBI guys are really sneaky? The President could have warned them in advance, but he didn't. Hmmm.

  4.  @UnknownMoses  Read the court transcript.

  5.  @mikeschnobrich1807  Just 14/3.

  6.  @blaket1841  They have that power in Colorado unless they are overruled by the SCOTUS.

  7.  @blaket1841  Colorado has not acted frivolously. January 6th was not frivolous. I have little doubt that those State justices knew the case would go to the US Supreme Court, in part because of the reason you state. They have forced the Supreme Court to take a case that they have been trying to avoid. Many States are watching for the outcome. This is in a gray area because our nation has not had to deal with this kind of conduct since the US Civil War, which led to the enactment of 14/3.

  8. Oh yes there was, Donald J. Trump, and the Colorado Supreme Court, after due process, found him guilty. Read the transcript.

  9.  @mikeb6384  By persuading others and rallying their help?

  10.  @JD-Defenders  Trump says nothing about Navalny. Why? Does he owe Putin? That's treason and bribery.

  11. The Colorado court is defending the Constitution.

  12.  @valstewart6661  So how much power should one person, a Governor or President, have? How big a body of legislators does it take to require anybody to do anything? You can write in anyone you want on a ballot, but every named candidate on a ballot has to meet State requirements. How is 14/3 not common sense?

  13. It's Section 201 (f) (1). Excellent point.

  14.  @SilverFox-1212  No sweat. It's a really important point you make that could shut down that path of evasion by the SCOTUS. It's classic "stand up to the bully" time.

  15.  @justinmiller5660  No. The Senate has the power to not ratify Presidential appointments and Congress has the power of the purse to defund any executive office. You try to grant the President unchecked power. We the People are the United States with OFFICERS and OFFICES under US. Also listen to the citation of Morrill in the original 14/3 debate on the President and Vice-President. The evidence of Trump's intent and efforts to remain in OFFICE after losing the election has been established. On January 6th, he incited a riot, the purpose of which was to retain him in OFFICE against the certified will of the States. That's an insurrection per 19th Century American English dictionaries. Our 21st century semantics do not apply.

  16.  @yashamaga13  Wow. The ABA was wrong to endorse her?

  17. Not found by who? The Colorado Supreme Court did find Donald Trump guilty of insurrection, and, having themselves taken an oath to defend the US Constitution, they ruled him ineligible for Colorado ballots per 14/3. They could not rule for any other State. Per the language of 14/3, the US Congress can override the Colorado court ruling by a 2/3 vote. 14/3 is a deterrent to insurrectionist behavior and a self-defense of the Constitution. Candidates need to be of good moral standing in this respect.

  18.  @Dr_Tripper  The finding of insurrection was made after due process in the Colorado Supreme Court. Check it out. Do you know how to do your job? Should we just all assume that nobody knows what they are doing?
