Trump faces a "hectic courtroom schedule."
Text |One by one
Early this morning, Beijing time, the U.S. Supreme Court of Colorado made a ruling: due to the connection with the 2021 U.S. Capitol ** incident, the former **Trump of the United States is not eligible to participate in the Colorado Republican ** caucus in March next year.
As soon as the ruling came out, the Trump campaign quickly appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. "We will, and at the same time, ask for a moratorium on this highly undemocratic decision. Spokesman Steven Chang said in a statement. ** believes that although the current ruling results only apply to the Republican state caucuse, it may affect Trump's participation in the 2024 U.S. ** runoff election. Judgment of the Colorado CourtSome voters in Colorado are plaintiffs in the lawsuit, with the help of a group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics. They believe that Trump refused to recognize the election results at one point after his defeat in 2020 and is suspected of inciting his followers to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. It is understood that the third paragraph of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution stipulates that federal, state, and local** that have taken an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution shall not engage in public office if they intervene in an "insurrection or rebellion." It was a constitutional provision enacted by the United States in the aftermath of the Civil War and was at the heart of the decision in this case. "Over the course of months, Trump directly and unequivocally urged his supporters to march to the Capitol to stop what he called 'fraud against the people of this country,'" the Colorado Supreme Court wrote in its ruling. There is no doubt that his actions were carried out openly and voluntarily. "Moreover, there is ample evidence that all of these actions by Trump are intended to help and advance a common illegitimate purpose that he himself conceived and initiated: to prevent Congress from approving the results of the 2020** elections, and to prevent the peaceful transfer of power." "Today's court ruling confirms our allegations in this lawsuit: Trump is an ineligible rebel ......," Noah Bookbinder, president of Civic Responsibility and Ethics, the nation's watchdog organization, said in a statementOur constitution clearly states that those who violate their oath and attack our democracy are barred from serving in **. However, after announcing the verdict, the Colorado Supreme Court temporarily suspended it from taking effect to allow Trump time to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. According to the ruling, Trump's campaign has until Jan. 4 next year to appeal. The Colorado Elections** also said the matter needs to be resolved by Jan. 5, 2024, which is the legal deadline to determine the list of candidates for the Republican primary**. Trump is busyIn fact, this is only the first judicial challenge involving the U.S. Constitution that former U.S. Donald Trump has encountered on the road to 2024. Trump has faced dozens of similar lawsuits from different states across the country this year. The lawsuits all claim that Trump, as an "insurrectionist," is ineligible for re-election in the White House under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. On November 8, the U.S. Supreme Court of Minnesota rejected a lawsuit that tried to prevent Trump from participating in the state's 2024 Republican primary, but at the same time said that if Trump wins the Republican nomination, the prosecution can try again to prevent him from participating in the *** vote. In response to the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling, the Trump team statement said: "Democratic leaders are horrified by Trump's growing overwhelming lead in the polls;They have lost faith in Biden's failed ** term and are now doing everything they can to prevent American voters from kicking them out of the White House next November. (Note: The latest poll shows Trump leading Biden 47 percent to 43 percent.)Assuming a vote of five independent candidates, the result would be 37 percent to 31 percent, bringing Trump's lead to 6 percent. )
It is worth mentioning that the governor of Colorado and the two US senators are both Democrats, and the majority of the state's House of Representatives delegation is also Democratic. In 2020**, Democrat Joe Biden won the state and its nine electoral votes;In 2016, it was also Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton who won in the state. Colorado Supreme Court justices are all appointed by Democratic governors, and the ruling marks the first time in history that Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has been used to disqualify ** candidates. In the upcoming year 2024**, Trump is facing a "busy court schedule". U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan announced that the trial of Trump's alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 ** outcome will begin on March 4, 2024. It is worth noting that the next day is "Super Tuesday", which is a key election day, that is, the Republican caucuses in 14 states. At that time, the most popular vote for the Republican National Convention will be decided. On March 25, 2024, Trump's alleged payment of "hush money" to stars will be tried in New York**. On May 20, 2024, Trump's "mishandling of classified documents" case will be tried in Florida**. Despite the lawsuits, Trump is still the hottest candidate in the Republican Party. Trump pleaded not guilty to all four criminal cases, pointing out that political opponents were behind the cases and intended to interfere in the 2024** election. Three Kingdoms Kill?
Just as Trump and Biden are in the thick of their battle, a new poll in the United States on December 11 showed that more than one-fifth of voters in 2024** are considering supporting independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jrkennedy jr.)。Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 69, is the nephew of former U.S. John F. Kennedy and the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy. Early last month, Kennedy announced that he would abandon the Democratic primary and run as an independent, independent**. According to the poll released by Monmouth University on the 11th, more than 21 percent of registered voters said they would consider supporting Kennedy at that time, and 6 percent said they would "definitely" vote for him. At the same time, the poll shows that only a quarter of voters are enthusiastic about a possible "rematch" between Biden and former Trump in the United States again. It seems that the 2024 United States** is really in suspense!Source**: Xinhua News Agency, Global Network, CCTV, Guangming Network, Reference News, etc.
