The attempt to ban Trump was also an assault on Colorado voters.

Jena Griswold presumed to tell me that I could only vote for certain candidates that she approved off - and the Colorado Supreme Court backed her up!

Shades of Russia, China, and Iran.

Democracy is a messy business, and if voters want a lying, cheating scoundrel, that is their right.

But the implications of Colorado's actions are worse. Colorado opened the door to lawfare.

We saw in Illinois that a traffic judge ruled that Trump could not be on the Illinois ballot.

How long would it take for a Florida traffic judge to rule that Biden was ineligible?

SCOTUS saved the republic (this time) from those who were willing to destroy it in order to "get" Trump.

Yes, as I said, the whole performance was lawless as well as reckless.

There is a theory that we become like our enemies.

I doubt that it was conscious, but the lefties saw how well elections work in Russia, Iran, and China (for the incumbents) and adopted similar exclusionary tactics here to eliminate a despised opponent.

And the mainstream media is OK with that!!!

Unfortunately, they are not content to limit these tactics to Trump. Inevitably DOJ is going after small figures (1/6 rioters, anti-abortionists, anti-woke speakers) to cow the opposition.

Democracy is going through a tough time.
