The “crazy” decision to remove Trump from the Colorado ballot is criticized by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Though Kennedy is running against Trump and is not a fan of his, he takes issue with the state Supreme Court’s disqualification decision.
“Yeah, we’d say that’s not really a democracy,” he explained. “If they succeed, which I don’t think they will, the decision is crazy, you know.”

Kennedy claims that the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision has implications not only for Trump but for the entire country. “Then it’s gonna leave half the people angry, and rightly so… People should be able to vote for who they want to vote for… and by the way, it was no due process. He wasn’t convicted of insurrection.”
WATCH:
Kennedy thinks Trump might surprise gain political ground as a result of the ruling. Instead of doing him any harm, it may strengthen his position as a victim of a manipulated system and inspire his fans to support him.
A recent 4-3 decision has sparked a national discussion and brought up significant issues regarding the future of democracy in the United States. Kennedy’s worries are echoed by others who oppose the decision, who caution about the potentially broad effects of such measures.
The Trump campaign highlights Democratic appointees and criticizes the court’s decision on his eligibility for future office. This historic ruling establishes a precedent and is based on the US Constitution’s insurrection clause.
In an effort to remove Trump’s name from the ballot, the Trump camp accused the court of aiding a “Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme” backed by George Soros to rig the election in favor of Joe Biden. Colorado voters claim the action takes away their ability to select the candidate of their choice.
“Democrat Party leaders are in a state of paranoia over the growing, dominant lead President Trump has amassed in the polls. They have lost faith in the failed Biden presidency and are now doing everything they can to stop the American voters from throwing them out of office next November,” Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, wrote.
“The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed decision tonight and we will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision.”

A petition submitted by a number of Colorado electors sparked the issue and resulted in a Denver District Court trial. The Fourteenth Amendment’s Section Three defines insurrection, and the court found “clear and convincing” evidence that Trump participated in it.
But in the end, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Section Three disqualifies Trump from being President, which means that the Secretary of State is not allowed to name him as a contender on the presidential primary ballot under the Election Code.
Decision on the appeal is delayed until January 4, 2024.
