Trump, who was like a rainbow and was soaring towards the throne, was suddenly hit on the head.
According to the Global Times on December 20, the U.S. Supreme Court of Colorado announced the day before that because former Trump was involved in the Capitol Hill riot on January 6, 2021, it determined that his name could not appear on the ballot in the state's ** election. The big news that just broke out made Trump's election team explode and immediately said that it would appeal against it.
This is the first time in U.S. history that Article 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution has been used to disqualify ** candidates.
A little bit about the background of this:
1.The ruling invoked Article 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which states that "the United States**, which has taken an oath to the Constitution, shall not be allowed to serve as the United States again if it subsequently participates in an insurrection against the United States, or assists an enemy of the United States."
The Fourteenth Amendment was one of three "Reconstruction Amendments" passed after the Civil War, and its main purpose was to punish Southern rebels after the Civil War and prohibit the political rise of former rebels.
This Colorado ruling is the first time that this law has been applied to ***.
At present, the main defense direction of Trump and the Republican lawyer team is that "the position is not written in the law, and the Colorado Supreme Court's decision is based on "**containment"**
2.The verdict cites the fact that on January 6, 2021, at the instigation of Trump, his supporters stormed Capitol Hill.
Although fact-finding and legal confrontation are controversial, at the judicial level, lawsuits involving Trump have generally crossed the two levels of proving the establishment of the insurrection and proving that he instigated the insurrection, and have come to the level of determining the specific application of the law and punishment.
The above is a fact recognized by mainstream public opinion in the United States, at least at the legal level, and I am afraid that there is a huge difference between the perception of the Pacific West Coast, which mainly receives information from the right-wing old insurance in the United States.
Now the difference in the perception of the American people is, can a person who has incited rebellion run for **?Or to put it another way, should a person's ** election qualification be determined by the judicial system?
It should be noted that the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court was quite aggressive. Prior to this, the Minnesota Supreme Court and a trial court in Michigan had ruled that the issue should not be decided by a judge.
Of course, Trump had no hope of getting votes in Colorado, where he lost by 13 percentage points in 2020 and whose 2024 victory puzzle doesn't need Colorado. However, the Colorado Supreme Court's decision could have a demonstrative effect, leading to more state Supreme Court ruling that Trump cannot run in 2024.
The Trump team has said it will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, and it is foreseeable that the Supreme Court, which has an overwhelming majority of conservative justices — especially the three Trump-nominated Supreme Justices — will reject the ruling.
But the U.S. left-wing political organizations that organized these lawsuits have partially achieved their goal: they have rekindled the memories of the atrocities committed by Trump's fans three years ago, which will surely benefit Biden's re-election campaign.
But no matter what, Biden has made a big move: ban you from running.
The power of this move is second only to the physical elimination of political opponents.
It's good, the United States still has more than half a year to go, and it can provide us with countless fun, so it's good for everyone to watch the show.
