Colorado’s Trump ban: An anti-democratic move in the name of democracy
Fox News
The Colorado Supreme Court made a historic ruling against former President Trump using a Civil War era constitutional amendment, but that isn't stopping his 2024 momentum.
And the whole thing may fizzle anyway. Howard Kurtz is the host of FOX News Channel's MediaBuzz (Sundays 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET). Based in Washington, D.C., he joined the network in July 2013 and regularly appears on Special Report with Bret Baier and other programs.
The Colorado Supreme Court ruling to kick Donald Trump off the state’s primary ballot is fueling a political uproar. The Supreme Court has two weeks to act on an appeal, and while its 6-3 conservative majority has repeatedly ruled against Trump on 2020 election matters, I’d be stunned if it didn’t overturn this decision.
In its 4-3 ruling, the Colorado court took pains to say this was not a partisan move – which belies the fact that every member is a Democrat.Even Trump’s rivals – Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie – are saying they want to beat the former president but that shouldn’t be up to a bunch of justices.
