Also, the judge found that Trump incited the 1/6 riots. A Colorado judge has rejected an attempt to bar former President Trump from the state’s primary ballot over 14th Amendment claims, according to court documents filed Friday. District Judge Sarah Wallace agreed with plaintiffs that Trump “incited” the Jan. 6, 2021, riots on the Capitol and could be disqualified using the 14th Amendment, but that the law’s wording means it does not apply specifically to the office of president. The activist group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), four Republicans and two independent Colorado voters filed a suit in September pushing for Trump’s removal.

Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.). Attorneys for Trump argued that the former president had nothing to do with the attacks, and that his speeches — which appeared to encourage violence — were also protected by the First Amendment. But Wallace agreed with the plaintiffs, the first time a court has ruled that Trump was responsible for the violence of Jan. 6. “The Court concludes, based on its findings of fact and the applicable law detailed above, that Trump incited an insurrection on January 6, 2021 and therefore ‘engaged’ in insurrection within the meaning of Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Wallace wrote. She cited Trump’s “history of courting extremists and endorsing political violence as legitimate and proper,” as well as his consistent efforts to “undermine the legitimacy” and “hinder the certification” of 2020 election results. “Trump has consistently endorsed violence and intimidation as not only legitimate means of political expression, but as necessary, even virtuous,” Wallace wrote in the ruling. “Further, the Court has found that Trump was aware that his supporters were willing to engage in political violence and that they would respond to his calls for them to do so.” [link to thehill.com (secure)] |

John Anthony Castro has filed 27 federal lawsuits across the country, including in New Hampshire, challenging Trump's eligibility to run under the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The mostly unknown presidential candidate from Texas is representing himself in the case and argues that the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment should block the former president from running again, and if Trump is on the ballot, he would take votes away from Castro. The judge disagreed. “Castro has not established that he has or will suffer a political competitive injury arising from Trump’s participation in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary,” U.S. District Cout Judge Joseph Laplante wrote in the ruling. “Thus, Castro has not carried his burden to show that he has standing to bring his claim.” The judge added that even if Castro had standing to bring the case, the court would be inclined to find that the claim would raise a “nonjusticiable political question.”...

Quoting: WeAreNotTheFirst ---------- Judge Rejects Effort To Kick Trump Off Ballot In Colorado Under 14th Amendment By Leif Le Mahieu | Nov 18, 2023 (DailyWire.com) - A judge in Colorado has rejected a challenge filed by a Left-leaning group to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot under the 14th Amendment. On Friday, Colorado Judge Sarah B. Wallace ruled that Trump could not be kicked off the ballot in the state because the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment did not apply to the presidency. The challenge in Colorado was filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington on behalf of six Colorado voters. “Part of the court’s decision is its reluctance to embrace an interpretation which would disqualify a presidential candidate without a clear, unmistakable indication that such is the intent of Section 3,” Wallace wrote. The ruling comes after similar efforts to block Trump from appearing on state ballots failed in Michigan and Minnesota. Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said that the ruling was another nail in the coffin for the efforts to make Trump ineligible to run for office. “We applaud today’s ruling in Colorado, which is another nail in the coffin of the un-American ballot challenges,” Cheung said. “These cases represent the most cynical and blatant political attempts to interfere with the upcoming presidential election by desperate Democrats who know Crooked Joe Biden is a failed president on the fast track to defeat.”...

These cases represent the most cynical and blatant political attempts to interfere with the upcoming presidential election by desperate Democrats who know Crooked Joe Biden is a failed president on the fast track to defeat.
