Trump "engaged in an insurrection," judge says, but should remain on Colorado ballot
In the third failed attempt to keep Trump off a state's ballot in just over a week, Colorado judge Sarah Wallace issued a scathing ruling yesterday that the disgraced ex-president “actively primed the anger of his extremist supporters,” and “acted with the specific intent to incite political violence and direct it at the Capitol... and that the First Amendment does not protect Trump’s speech." And since the 14th amendment says, "No person shall... hold any office... [who] shall have engaged in insurrection," the judge has decided... that Trump can stay on the ballot. Apparently Trump was not only above the law at the time, but above the constitution as well due to a little known but oft employed technicality whereby some judges are too chicken shit to hold powerful men accountable for their crimes.
