Colorado Goes Completely Batshit Crazy

I thought Minnesota was the leading contender for the most whacked state next to California, but Colorado has outdone us.  The Colorado Supreme Court, comprised of legal hacks selected because they are all ideological loons from the Democrat party, has decided that the leading contender in the next Presidential election should not be on the ballot.  It is simply astounding that such a ruling could even be contemplated.  From the party that constantly yaks about threats to democracy, as usual comes the greatest actual undermining of democracy.  The consequences of such a ruling, if it stands, and I don’t think it can, are obvious.  Any state which is governed by one party will feel free to take whatever actions it thinks it can get away with to just keep the other party or specific candidates from other parties off the ballot.  I can’t think of a single action that more directly looks like something a third world pseudo-democracy would do, or Russia for example.

Just as with the prosecutions of Trump in multiple venues, the appropriate Republican response if this stays in place, is to seek to remove Biden from the ballot as a traitor and a bribe recipient.  He clearly took money from foreign countries to influence US government policy.  I have no doubt that if and when an independent prosecutor is appointed, that person will find a complex scheme over decades by Biden to enrich himself and his family at the expense of the interests of the United States.  So there is far more reason in my judgment to keep that demented scumbag off the ballot than Trump, who I do not like or support.

The Democrat party, particularly its dominant whacked progressive wing, have lost all sense of guardrails.  No action is too crazy to contemplate for the purposes of holding on to power.  The rule of law is completely gone, facts and the actual law don’t matter, only who you are, what you believe, what your skin color, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation are.  The one thing that has held this country together throughout its history is respect for the courts as relatively neutral arbitrators which largely will hew to principle and precedent.  A critical underpinning of our economic success has been widespread trust in the rule of law.  That is going, going, gone.
