The left recently succeeded in its efforts to thwart the U.S. republic after barring former President Donald Trump from appearing on Colorado’s presidential primary ballot in 2024.
Many individuals have denounced The Centennial State’s Supreme Court over its ruling, including independent presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who said Americans should feel “troubled” about it.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Kennedy said, “Every American should be troubled by the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove President Trump from the ballot. The court has deprived him of a consequential right without having been convicted of a crime.”

“This was done without an evidentiary hearing in which he is given the basic right of confronting his accusers,” Kennedy added. “It’s time to trust the voters. It is up to the people to decide who the best candidate is. Not the courts. The people. That’s Democracy 101.”

The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to blacklist Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot comes as the left investigates the former president over his alleged efforts to “overturn” the 2020 presidential election.
The move to disqualify Trump was made under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution concerning the then-president’s role during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol protests.
In a 4-3 vote, the Colorado Supreme Court justices ruled to disenfranchise the votes of Americans by taking Trump’s name out of the state’s ballot. The decision will remain in effect until Jan. 4, 2024, because of likely appeals.
“We do not reach these conclusions lightly, the court said in its majority opinion. “We are mindful of the magnitude and weight of the questions now before us. We are likewise mindful of our solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor, and without being swayed by public reaction to the decisions that the law mandates we reach.”
In a statement, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung noted that the former president intends to file an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“We will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision,” Cheung said on X.
During a recent rally in Waterloo, Iowa, Trump didn’t address Colorado’s blatant political decision but said that “crooked Joe Biden and the far-left Lunatics are desperate to stop us by any means necessary.”
