The cabal that calls itself the Democratic Party of Colorado nearly pulled a coup last fall. Unburdened by any inconvenient process that might have been due, a Democrat state judge decided that Donald Trump was an insurrectionist. Therefore, under a clause of the 14^th Amendment designed to prevent former Confederates from running for federal office, Trump was ineligible to run for president.

Never mind that Trump had never been convicted or even charged with the crime of insurrection.

On appeal, four of the seven Democrat-appointed justices on the Colorado Supreme Court agreed. The other three in their strident dissent all but wondered out loud what kind of Colorado-legal weed the majority was smoking.

The next stop was the United States Supreme Court. They heard oral argument a few weeks ago, and issued their decision today – a lightning quick turnaround by their standards. As I predicted both before and after oral argument, the big Supreme Court of the United States reversed the little supreme court of Colorado.

The Colorado decision is now a nullity, and the U.S. decision is now the law of the land.  

Not only did Trump win, he won unanimously. It was a 9-0 decision in which the three liberal justices agreed with the outcome. To be sure, they weren’t willing to join the words of the majority opinion – that would show too much deference to their colleagues and to the Court – and so they convulsed to write their own opinion artfully placing infinite angels on microscopic pinheads in an aesthete exercise from which the three of them apparently derived pleasure.

But that didn’t pleasure the Colorado Democrats, or any other Democrats. They didn’t want angels, pinheads, or aesthetics. They wanted blood.

The Colorado Secretary of Cabal, er, State appeared on MSNBC this afternoon to bitch. Seems she didn’t like the smackdown delivered by three Democrat-appointed Justices and six Republican-appointed ones. When asked if she had confidence in the Supreme Court anymore, she dodged the question.

And so Democrats continue their tiresome mantra that Trump is a “threat to democracy” that they are heroically battling by keeping his name off the ballot so that the people can’t democratically elect him. When the Supreme Court – the highest legal authority in the land – disagrees with their uniparty rule in the service of democracy, they question the Court’s legitimacy.

After bitching about the Court’s decision and questioning their legitimacy, the Secretary just went into double-speak. She pretended to trust the American people to make the correct decision on election day to vote against Trump.

The friendly media interviewer did not ask her “Why didn’t you just trust the American people to make the correct decision all along?”
