Comment on Trump is ineligible for office under 14th Amendment'sparent

Comments

Chief Justice Brian D. Boatright, in his dissent, wrote that the "absence of an insurrection-related conviction" against Trump should have called for the case to be dismissed.

Stuff of kangaroo court.

You're grasping at straws. This was a civil case. I don't know why you're demanding a conviction. CO Secretary of State Jena Griswold was the respondent, I believe.

Beyond that, are you objecting because the vote wasn't unanimous? Lots of very controversial SCOTUS votes have been 5-4. We all live with them. Wait, are you a CO voter? If not, then you don't have to live with this decision. As it happens, I am a CO voter, so I am glad there was due process and it was decided correctly.

Often times dissenting juror's opinion makes for an excellent point.
