The Trump Post-Presidency and Insurrection

Everyone knows that. But the Democrats sure talk about it a lot when it suits them, like their never ending efforts to get rid of the electoral college. They just don't like the subject of democracy brought up when it doesn't suit them.

No they are appointed, and all of the Colorado ones were appointed by Democrat governors. They do have to have retainment elections. A lot easier than winning an election initially.

Again you confuse your demented view of democracy with the rule of law. Your specter of the electoral college is just a smokescreen. You want to destroy the rule of law for a Trump dictatorship.You're a traitor to American society.

Thus the operations of a society of law. You don't like the law? In a nation of law you change it. You don't violently rebel and demand your own way.

Yes we do live in a democracy. A republic is a type of democracy. It is not direct democracy it is representative democracy.The U.S. Is Both a Republic and a Democracy

They are elected. You are wrong. Nice shifting of goal posts. None of the US Supreme Court members are elected, so their decisions are illegitimate?

As has already been explained, supreme court justices in Colorado are appointed to the bench for a 2-year period, after which they have to face a retainment election, but it sounds like you believe that appointed judges are undemocratic.The reality is that there are both red and blue states that appoint their supreme court justices. Here's a table of how judges in each state become seated on the supreme court sorted by method. The "tnc" in "Governor appoints tnc" stands for "through nominating commission": As you can see, the governor appoints the justices in 13 blue states and 12 red states, with blue and red indicating how the state went in the 2020 presidential election, but the states move back and forth. For example, New Hampshire and Arizona voted Republican in 2000.The justices of the Supreme Court of the United States are also appointed, then approved by the Senate. Were the Heller decision (right to possess firearms is unconnected to service in a militia) and the Dobbs decision (no constitutional right to abortion) undemocratic because the justices were not elected?You might want to reconsider your criteria for what constitutes a democracy.--Percy

And all of the Florida supreme court justices were appointed by Republican governors. Florida also has retainment elections.Your claim has no rational basis. Whatever criteria you think up for judging a governmental branch or body undemocratic will be true of both political parties when considered across all the states. Gerrymandering? Both parties do it. Appointing judges of their own party to the courts? Both parties do it. Passing legislation favorable to supporters? Both parties do it. Organizing slates of fake electors? Both parties...oh wait, not that one. Only Republicans do that.--Percy

Like the BLM riots of May and June of 2020? Far more people killed, far more money in damage than January 6th. Pretty well forgotten now, it got about .000001% of the mainstream media news coverage than does January 6th.

Justices on the high court are appointed by the governor, and the current slate of justices were all appointed by Democratic governors in the largely blue state, which Joe Biden won by almost 14 points in 2020.

Who explained it? Theodoric? They are when they try to interfere with a presidential election! Convicting someone of a crime that he hasn't even been charged with, let alone convicted of by any court of law. I understand all of that. It just seems quite strange that the recent battle cry from many Democrats is that "Trump wants to destroy democracy!!!!", and then they do this unprecedented court ruling that destroys democracy. It's true that not all Democrats did that, only four activist ones, but they are getting a lot of cheers throughout the Democrat base. Cheers for a thwarting of Democracy. And Democrats might want to reconsider accusing Trump of wanting to destroy democracy, then TURNING RIGHT AROUND and cheering when one of their own destroys democracy.The good thing is, two can play this game. Actually more than two, if the Colorado ruling holds up, four states so far are considering removing Biden from the ballot for allowing a hostile invasion at the southern border.https://abc3340.com/...ry-mcgarr-r-pima-co-donald-trump-2024

Pennsylvania state Rep. Aaron Bernstine, R-Lawrence, Georgia state Rep. Charlice Byrd, R-Woodstock and Arizona State Rep. Cory McGarr, R-Pima Co., are working together to exclude Biden from their general elections in November.

Also Texas;Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick floats taking Biden off state ballot after Colorado Trump ruling

quote:

---

Shortly after the Colorado Supreme Court issued its bombshell ruling that Donald Trump is disqualified from the state’s GOP primary ballot, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick suggested doing the same to President Joe Biden over immigration.

​

On Tuesday night, Patrick told Fox News host Laura Ingraham: “Seeing what happened in Colorado tonight, Laura, makes me think — except we believe in democracy in Texas — maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he’s been president, disrupting our state far more than anything anyone else has done in recent history.”

I really hope the SCOTUS reigns in the arrogant Colorado court, before this all gets out of hand, and it becomes 1860 all over again.

But those Florida appointed ones haven't tried to stop Florida voters from voting for the presidential candidate of their choice, have they? Telling voters they can't vote for the presidential candidate of their choice, both parties.....oh wait, not that one. Only Democrats do that. SO FAR. "We must fight back".

Do you know who your state rep Cory McGarr is? Will you calmly accept it as the rule of law if he stops you from voting for Biden in 2024?

Smoke and mirrors on the wall, this wasn’t part of the topic at all. When your facts are lies and your losing the fight, blow smoke and mirrors to hide from the light.Show that intellect, Marc. Keep up the rep.

Yes, I know the budding nazi. You fit right in.He can't stop Biden. Your ultra-right wing republican cabal does not dictate in this state. We live by rule of law and there is no law, like the 14th Amendment, that would authorize such an action against Biden. Trump is an insurrectionist, we have a court ruling declaring so and a law to disqualify him based upon those crimes.Rule of law, marc. Your boy's going down.
